Tyler Mitchell: Idyllic Space

CRITIC’S PICK: When you’re just 23 and an aspiring photographer, getting to shoot Beyoncé for the cover of Vogue can be a life-altering experience. That’s what happened to Atlanta native Tyler Mitchell, whose picture of the singer is now ensconced in the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. His retrospective at the High has examples of images he shot for Vogue, Louis Vuitton, Nike, Givenchy, and others. “Since achieving widespread recognition, Tyler Mitchell has continued to gain many deserved accolades for his beautiful and poignant photographs, which we are proud to present in his first exhibition in Atlanta,” says Rand Suffolk, the High’s director. “This collaboration among our curatorial staff is a testament to the connectivity in our collections and also exemplifies the museum’s commitment to celebrating artists from our region whose work is making an impact on a global scale.” — Kevin C.
