General info :
Tyler Mitchell (born April 12, 1995, Atlanta, Georgia, USA) is an artist, photographer and filmmaker based in Brooklyn.
He received his B.F.A. in Film and Television from NYU Tisch School of the Arts. His work introduces new narratives about Black beauty and desire, embracing themes of the past and creating fictionalized moments of the imagined future. Mitchell’s work is characterized by a visual representation of Black life that emphasizes empowerment, play and self determination. He is often inspired by pastoral and domestic scenes from his upbringing in suburban Georgia.

In 2018, he made history as the first Black photographer to shoot a cover of American Vogue for Beyoncé’s appearance in the September issue. The following year, a portrait from this series was acquired by The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery for its permanent collection.

In 2019, his first solo exhibition I Can Make You Feel Good at Foam Fotografiemuseum Amsterdam premiered video works including Idyllic Space. Following its success, I Can Make You Feel Good was developed to include new work, across different mediums, and was exhibited at The International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York in early 2020. Mitchell published an eponymous monograph with Prestel Randomhouse in conjunction with the exhibition, further exploring his take on a Black visual utopia.

In the Fall of 2021, Mitchell presented two more shows: Dreaming in Real Time, which was exhibited at Jack Shainman Gallery, New York and An Imaginative Arrangement of the Things Before Me which was shown at The Gordon Parks Foundation in Pleasantville, New York. This exhibition was a culmination of Mitchell being announced as the recipient of the Gordon Parks Foundation Fellowship, which supports a new project that reflects and draws inspiration from Parks’ central themes of representation and social justice.

Mitchell has also shot for companies like Marc Jacobs, JW Anderson, Converse, Nike, and Givenchy. His work includes fashion photography, artistic photography, and film projects, which include autobiographical topics and themes of identity.

Mitchell has been a visiting artist and lecturer at a number of institutions including Yale University, Harvard University, NYU, Paris Photo, and The International Center of Photography.
