LIVE NOW in the #canoncreatorlab: "FORWARD" — a conversation with photographer Tyler Mitchell led by multi-disciplinary artist TIKA. Tyler Mitchell made history after being chosen to shoot Beyonce for the cover of Vogue’s famed September Issue. Tyler is the first African- American photographer — and the the youngest at 23 — to shoot the cover of Vogue in its 125-year history. He was chosen by Beyonce herself to shoot the cover, marking it a moment to remember and a giant leap forward in an ongoing journey to improve diversity.

Our recent discussion at Free Space aimed to discover who the elusive Kevin Wong is. An LA-based self-taught photographer, Wong has worked with countless pop culture icons, fashion brands, athletes, and musicians including Drake, Demi Lovato, Lil Wayne, Lexus, and Chanel. As someone who rarely does interviews or appearances, how did he get in the game? How does he gain access to such prolific people? How has his gear kit evolved to reflect his spontaneous paparazzi-esque photography style?
This discussion was lead by Toronto-based writer and Boosie Fade founder, Jordan Sowunmi.

Tyler Mitchell is an Atlanta-born photographer and filmmaker based in Brooklyn, NY. He got his start making skate videos and photographing music, fashion, and youth culture, receiving his B.F.A in film and television from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts.
In August 2018, Tyler Mitchell made history after being chosen to shoot Beyonce for the cover of Vogue’s famed September Issue.
