Not many come close to these kind of levels of portrait photography. Very inspiring. Just saw this at Colossal Art and Visual Culture: "Wonderland: A Fantastical Voyage of Remembrance Through Portrait Photography by Kirsty Mitchell. Part tribute, part conceptual photography, part exploration of costume and set design,
Wonderland is an ongoing series of portraits by UK photographer
Kirsty Mitchell. After the
loss of her mother in 2008, Mitchell found herself in need of a creative outlet to grapple with the emptiness that often follows the death of a loved one. To fill the vacuum, Mitchell began to revisit fragments of fairy tales her mother would share with her as a child and decided to use them as a starting point for a series of elaborate portraits that would make use of her background in fashion design and costume making. The resulting images would form a storybook without words, a sort of visual narrative that people might project their own stories onto."
