Based in New York and often inspired by pastoral and domestic scenes from his upbringing in suburban Atlanta, Georgia, Tyler Mitchell has established himself as a pre-eminent photographic voice of his generation. His work is recognizable for its intimate, authentic staging of his subjects whom he often shoots in rich, vibrant color palettes. He rethinks how the fashion image can be less censorious and more reflective of real life. What emerges is a fresh visual representation of his subjects, one that emphasizes empowerment, play, and celebrating the mundane.
Mitchell started as a filmmaker – which informs his eye for narrative – and has now expanded to fashion, portraiture, documentary, and art photography. His work is exhibited in galleries and institutions widely which deepens his image-making practice.
He has brought his lens to clients such as Gucci, Loewe, Moncler, JW Anderson, Simone Rocha and Wales Bonner, and magazines such as Vogue, Dazed, Self Service, i-D, Vanity Fair, Document Journal, WSJ Magazine and M Le Monde, to name a few.
Tyler was the recipient of the prestigious Isabella Blow Award for Fashion Creator at The Fashion Awards in 2024.
