Since 2009, Kirsty Mitchell has been dazzling the photography world with her epic (and deeply personal) photo project titled Wonderland. Now, 6.5 years and 74 photos later, the project is finished.
Five years and 74 truly stunning (not the click-bait type) photographs later, photographer Kirsty Mitchell and the heroine of her story, Katie, are both bidding a fond farewell to Wonderland and everything it has meant to them over the past half-decade.
Four years after initially covering the incredible journey of photographer Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland series, we're here to present to you with another page of what Mitchell is calling Wonderland's final chapter, in the form of the behind the scenes of ‘The Stars Of Spring Will Carry You Home.’
We first shared the jaw-dropping fairytale photographs that make up Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland series in May of 2012, some three years after she began her journey and just as her work was going so viral online that her reply to our request to feature her work was a "yes" followed by a "thank goodness I upgraded my servers!"
Now, four and a half years after she began Wonderland as a tribute to her mother who had recently passed away, she has officially embarked on what she is calling the final chapter in her Wonderland series.
If you haven't seen Kirsty Mitchell's Wonderland series yet, then you're bound to start running into it everywhere. Inspired by the fairytales her late mother used to tell her before she passed, the series wasn't actually shot in exotic locations. In fact, some of the photos took months of planning to get right.
