Kirsty Mitchell

-->

I first discovered Kirsty Mitchell and her amazing Photography around three years ago, when she had as little as 500 followers (recent count 42,968) Her photographs initially caught my eye but once I read her story I was completely hooked.

Kirsty Mitchell for the past three years has been working hard on a series she likes to call ‘Wonderland’ at first glance her images are sensational, bright and honestly they could hold my attention for hours. The more I look, the more detail I find and I think it’s incredible. But what really caught my attention and has made her name stick with me, was the reason behind all of this.

Kirsty Mitchell’s mother Maureen was an English teacher, who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays, and sadly in 2008 Maureen died from a brain tumor, and Kirsty channeled her grief into her passion for Photography, and created ‘Wonderland’ a tribute to her Mother.

It initially all began as a small summer project but soon blossomed into something MUCH, MUCH bigger. 

I soon found her website and began to follow her journey. The painstaking detail that goes into these images is just phenomenal, you can read all about the work that goes into each and every single photograph on her website, Kirsty will even wait up to 12 months to shoot an image just so that flowers in bloom match the colors of her dresses. 

I think that her work is beautiful and so inspiring, and It’s a relief to finally see her work receiving the recognition that it so deserves.

If you have a spare few minutes please have a look at her website, You will not be disappointed.
