Tyler Mitchell captures Ayo Edebiri in scenes for television series 'The Bear'
In an exciting turn of events, acclaimed photographer Tyler Mitchell's work has found its way onto the small screen, appearing in the fourth season of the critically acclaimed TV series, The Bear.
Mitchell, who rose to fame before turning 30 by shooting Beyoncé's portrait, is now represented by Gagosian, one of the biggest galleries in the world. His photographs, known for capturing intimate moments and making them feel monumental, have been showcased in various platforms, and now, they've graced the walls of a Chicago apartment in an episode of The Bear.
Two of Mitchell's photographs, Untitled (Group Hula Hoop) and Untitled (Kiki and Stephan Dancing), can be seen in the series. The former, a powerful image of rows of Black girls and boys hula hooping on a concrete court in Brooklyn, was created as an attempt to contribute to conversations among black artists. The latter, an original shot for Vogue, features actors KiKi Layne and Stephan James dancing in an empty room.
However, it seems that Mitchell had some reservations about the way his work was presented in the episode. He took to Instagram over the weekend to share a screenshot of the episode with three heart emojis and a crying emoji, indicating his approval of the episode but expressing concerns about Sydney's framing aesthetics. He also quibbled with Sydney's unconventional installation methods, noting the way that she had arranged his two photographs inches away from each other.
The fourth season of The Bear, directed by Janicza Bravo, centres around Syd's attempts to reconnect with her cousin and cousin's daughter. Much of the episode is devoted to quotidian conversations, with a large part of the episode's runtime given over to discussions about Hamburger Helper and friendship.
As the series continues to unfold, it will be interesting to see how Mitchell's photography contributes to the narrative and evokes emotions among viewers. His work, which often aims to reclaim small moments of everyday joy, is sure to add a unique and thought-provoking dimension to the show.
