For almost five years, English photographer Kirsty Mitchell has been creating one stunning image after another for her enchanting Wonderland series. The project, which is entirely self-funded and inspired by the memory of the photographer's late mother, is nearing its finale. With sixty-nine pictures in the collection, Mitchell has just recently released two more spectacular portraits to continue her "storybook without words."
The latest pieces in the collection are Gaia, The Birth Of An End and She'll Wait For You In The Shadows Of Summer. The first of the two, an imaginative interpretation of Gaia (the personified Goddess of Earth), is a meticulously crafted display of a woman draped in gold. Each intricate adornment from the elaborate headdress and giant beaded jewelry to the makeup is a carefully choreographed symphony by Mitchell herself.
