He is known for his early work documenting the 1970s Melbourne punk scene [3] and the first decade of the Melbourne International Comedy Festival. [4]

The 2018 monograph Fool's Paradise : The Early Years of the Melbourne Comedy Festival consists largely of candid images of comedians taken in bars and backstage. [5] In 2020 he published a book of works made in his late teens and early 20s, Juvenalia, [6] with photographs of Rowland S. Howard, Nick Cave and Mick Harvey, their bands The Birthday Party and The Boys Next Door as well as their friends, including Gina Riley, Polly Borland and Anita Lane.

From the early 2000s, Milne's practice has focused on creating narratives using montage, [7] collage [8] [9] and constructed 'film-stills' from movies that don't exist. [10]
