Photographer, designer and fashion designer Kirsty Mitchell from Great Britain claims that art is her life, and she has no idea what would have happened if she had not found her place in this country of beauty, grace and bright colors. And so that no one doubts that she is in her place, Kirsty Mitchell creates a series of amazingly beautiful photographs that seem to take us into the world of a fairy tale reminiscent of Lewis Carroll's Through the Looking Glass. Only now, instead of Alice, completely different characters live in it. As mentioned, Kirsty Mitchell single-handedly works on her magical photography projects, combining the duties of an artist, designer, fashion designer and photographer. This allows her to work out the images of the characters for the future series of shots to the smallest detail, leaving room for impromptu. Usually, Kirsty Mitchell's images are fairy-tale characters, dressed in grotesque costumes, but embedded in completely ordinary places that can be found in almost every city or suburb. If you try hard.
For example, Kirsty Mitchell's fairy tales can be found in green fields and in snow-covered forests, in alleys strewn with flowers, and in blooming gardens, between bushes of roses and other fragrant plants. However, sometimes the author uses ordinary books, paint cans, balloons, umbrellas and other everyday household items as decorations to emphasize that magic can be seen in anything. The main thing is to believe.
By the way, Kirsty Mitchell herself claims that before she could not see magic and a fairy tale in the ordinary and everyday, but as soon as she got carried away with photography, the world immediately began to play with millions of new bright colors. “Probably, I used to be able to look, but I did not know how to see,” says the photo artist about herself. From now on, her only inspiration is just such, everyday beauty, no matter how surprising it may sound. You can get acquainted with Kirsty Mitchell's photo projects on her website.
