Zoriah Miller (born January 27, 1976), or simply Zoriah, is an American photojournalist and war photographer. He claims to have worked for international aid organizations such as the Red Cross[1][unreliable source?][2] Although claiming to have contributed photos to photo agencies World Picture News,[3] The Image Works,[4] Reporters Agency, and Rapport Press, Miller remains independent and produces his photo stories on a freelance basis.
Miller's images of conflict in Iraq have been published in relation to a controversy where he was kicked out of embed with US forces when he was accused of violating the terms of his embedding by taking pictures of dead and injured soldiers and thereby "[providing the] enemy with an after-action report on the effectiveness of their attack and on the response procedures of U.S. and Iraqi forces".[5] Photographs that he took in Iraq of dead US Marines after a suicide bomber in Al-Karmah that he posted on his website were discussed on the online forum 'Lightstalkers' followed by a mention in a couple of articles.
