It’s impossible not to be blown away byKirsty MitchellsWonderlandseries.
Picking locations that are genuinely real, Kirsty produces incredibly vivid, colorful, and beautiful fairytale-like configs.
We reached out to Kirsty to ask her a few questions about the set.
The answers she gave us were not only extremely thorough but also surprisingly candid.
It’s near London, but it feels a million miles away sometimes, which suits me very well.
I have spent my life being involved in the creative industry, and have studied many aspects.
The result is a collection of fine art photographs in which everything has been designed and created by myself.
Your imagery is so bright and colorful.
The perfect example of this were the bluebell storyteller' pictures and the rhododendrons saints.'
It took around 6 weeks to be ready for one frantic day of shooting, running between two locations.
Regarding the colors, I take them extremely seriously.
It means I am always in complete control of the balance of color and don’t have to compromise.
So yes, color is vital…..
It’s not something I want to fake in Photoshop, I take it very seriously!!
I remember wanting, needing to do something that would let people know who she was.
Something that would explain the gift she gave me, which was a vivid and overly excitable imagination.
She instilled a belief in beauty and wonder…. and this is how I wanted her to be remembered.
I wanted to create a storybook of unexplained beautifully strange characters, each within their own magical worlds.
What jot down of mood were you going for?
The moment I saw her I thought she was extraordinary.
Most girls find the hardest part being to shake off the habits of traditional fashion posing.
I suppose stamina is pretty important forWonderland!!
Where did you shoot the set?All the pictures were shot in the south of England.
I’m afraid I don’t disclose any of the locations.
The one thing I will say though is that they are all real.
My life would be so much easier if I made it all up in Photoshop!!
What’s your favorite thing about the series?The memories.
I genuinely mean it when I say that doing this project has changed my life.
