In 1940, Miller returned to the United States and began working as a photojournalist for Vogue magazine. She covered the war in Europe, and her photographs of the D-Day landings and the liberation of Paris are some of the most iconic images of the war. After the war, Miller continued to work as a photojournalist, and she also published several books of her photography.

Miller died in 1977 at the age of 70. She is considered one of the most important photographers of the 20th century, and her work continues to be exhibited and published around the world.
