Photographer Roland Miller partnered with astronaut Paolo Nespoli to photo document the International Space Station, with an eye toward the lesser seen details. From Miller, via the Preservation Leadership Forum of the National Trust for Historic Preservation:
Through our collaboration, I sought to capture both overall images that would depict the size and spatial relationships of the modules inside the ISS and more nuanced detail shots that would allow viewers to experience the specific elements of the station.

Paolo and I accomplished this goal by sharing images back and forth via email. I would send him sample photos of the Space Vehicle Mockup Training Facility at the Johnson Space Center or from the Google Street View of the ISS. Using Google Street View, I was able to move through the station and zoom in or out to achieve the compositions I wanted. I sent these to Paolo, along with a spreadsheet that gave instructions and indicated priorities. Paolo then used those images and spreadsheets as a guide to photograph the same areas.

To our knowledge, this is the first artwork created through collaboration between a visual artist on the Earth and an astronaut in space.
