RUNNER-UP
TRENT MITCHELL
Trent Mitchell passionately travels far and wide for the perfect moment, location and light to make his pictures. Dancing the line between art and life, creating surreal images that speak the truth with a rare connection that is unexplainable, Trent has an innate ability to truly capture the essence of his subject with an undeniably unique twist.
A highly adaptable photographer, he does not see himself as bound to one genre of image-making. Mitchell has an extensive list of extremely happy, varied clients that not only love his work but foster and evolve it into their vision and market.
