Bios
Tyler Mitchell (b. 1995, Atlanta, GA) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. He received a BFA from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in film and television. Mitchell stands at the intersection of photography, fashion, art, and film. In 2015, he self-published his first photo book, El Paquete, which documented architecture and skateboarding scenes in Havana, Cuba. In 2018, he made history as the first black photographer to shoot the cover of American Vogue, photographing Beyoncé for the magazine’s September issue. Across photography and film, Mitchell has also worked with Solange, Teen Vogue, Dazed, i-D magazine, Office magazine, The Fader magazine, Marc Jacobs, Mercedes Benz, Givenchy, and Converse. He was featured in the 2016 Dazed 100 list of creatives shaping culture and, in 2017, was profiled in the New York Times Up Next column about emerging artists. He has exhibited in group shows with Artsy, Red Hook Labs, and the Aperture Foundation.
