Broom published on March 14, 2025 in Style section of New York Times, Tyler Mitchell, the youngest person seen behind the lens of Vogue, narrates that the Magnum photographer was chosen to be the official photographer for the 2025 Met Gala’s Camp Theme as he’s capable of embodying the various themes the Met Gala camp theme has been known to offer. Broom links Mitchell’s exemplary photography skills to ample ingenuity, which set him apart in the fashion photography world way before Vogue’s September cover featuring Beyoncé. The author delves into Mitchell’s youth, upbringing and the moments that led to the photographer’s trailblazed career in the ultra-competitive fashion photography industry. She gives a detailed narration of how becoming a photographer truly crystallized Mitchell’s love for art like never before, and photographing a renowned and coveted icon like Beyoncé gave Mitchell scintillating insights that preceded making his destiny in fashion world. The article also highlights how, despite the increasing number of BIPOC artists and photographers in the contemporary and iconic brands like Calvin Klein and Prada have taken seriously, there’s still trailblazing and wall-breakers to make names in the photography world in the black community. Broom concludes the story by announcing that at just 23, Mitchell is returning to the Met Gala, this time around as part of the official team behind the event’s only lens.
