Tyler Mitchell's historic Beyoncé portrait for Vogue heads to the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery.
Tyler Mitchell broke barriers when he shot Beyoncé's Vogue cover last year for the magazine's September issue, becoming the first African-American photographer to shoot a cover of Vogue in the fashion magazine's storied 125-year history.
A spokeswoman for the the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., confirmed to ABC News that the portrait will soon be in the museum's permanent collection. Mitchell, who was picked by Beyoncé for this shoot, photographed the Grammy winner in the English countryside and in the extended captions of her Vogue cover, Beyoncé reflected on the historic portraits and the photographer behind the lens.
Mitchell, who was also one of the youngest photographers to shoot a Vogue cover, has worked on several projects for Vogue since last year, including shooting the Vogue June 2019 cover of actress and singer Zendaya."There are so many cultural and societal barriers to entry that I like to do what I can to level the playing field, to present a different point of view for people who may feel like their voices don’t matter," she told Vogue.
