Kirsty Mitchell is a British photographer who began her fine art and photography education at the age of sixteen. Described as a multi-faceted artist, the award winning fine art photographer Kirsty Mitchell draws on her past careers in fashion design and costume making to produce images of beguiling dream-like worlds all shot in the English landscape surrounding her home. Kirsty describes her approach as "fantasy for real," often spending months meticulously handcrafting her character’s costumes and props to coincide with the bloom of wild flowers and the seasonal extremes of her local environment. The 'Wonderland' series is a multi-award winning collection of 74 large scale photographs, taking five years to create and a total of seven to bring the book to fruition. It has been extensively featured throughout the world’s press, achieving a viral status online and has been published by prestigious names such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue Italia, The Guardian, The Telegraph, BBC news, The British Journal of Photography and the Royal Photographic Society to name but a few.
Kirsty Mitchell's photographic project, which brings to life the fantasy settings that we only find in the most magical dreams.
When British photographer Kirsty Mitchell lost her mother to cancer in winter of 2008, the then-fashion designer threw herself into a project of grief to help her escape her new painful reality.
