“Lee Miller: Photographs” presents more than 100 of the photographer’s best images; an essay by her son, the photographer Antony Penrose; and another essay by the actress Kate Winslet, who will play Miller in an upcoming movie. Miller had careers as an enormously successful fashion model, a studio photographer, a collaborator with Man Ray, a fashion photographer and a World War II combat photographer. In Paris after World War I she knew the avant-garde Surrealists; their habit of unlikely juxtapositions informed much of her photography. Surrealism worked well in fashion, and surprisingly also in documenting the dislocations of war—even in her harrowing images of the dead and dying in newly liberated concentration camps. Herself a beauty, she created images that command attention.

None of the 95 pictures in Stephen Shore’s “Topographies: Aerial Surveys of the American Landscape” has a title. Instead, they are designated by the GPS coordinates of where they were taken: The crisp color photos were captured from a drone. In one essay, Richard B. Woodward writes that “these are photographs about the particulars of the physical world.” It is mostly an attractive world of farms, highways, mountains, lakes and rivers, and places of habitation and industry. The fine details exemplify, as Mr. Shore describes it, his “experiencing the everyday with attention.”
