Miranda Penn Turin has been shooting since she was 16 and still isn’t quite sure what “professional photographer” means—though her work has taken her from celebrity sets to remote corners of the world. She’s happiest with a camera in hand and doesn’t buy into the myth that you need to be mean to be successful (sorry, former agent). A photographer-director-writer with a love for her crew, her dog Riley B. King, and a well-placed curse word, Miranda lives in unincorporated Castaic with her husband Bonsai Bob. Awards? Yes. But she won’t bore you with them.
