  1. Mitchell is trying to tell the story of a young women who lives in the art of nature. The way the woman’s hair is styled like Marie Antoinette makes me think of the French, and their high fashion, and the love of arts. Many stories can be given and taken from these stories.

  2. looks like shes trying to tell a fairy tale story, because of the flowers and the way the people look. she injects it by using the same kind of people over and always using flowers in the photos, the photos are strange and weird, feels like they were old photos back in the day. i would do it by using the same thing over and over again.

  3. I’m not quite sure what story she’s trying to tell, but they seem to tell almost like a fairy tale. They’re all very unrealistic. I think there might be a story behind the ships in the pictures. I could put in something that’s unique to me.

  4. a fairy tale story is being told by the photographs.
    its all flowery and it reminds me of Alice in Wonderland.
    she injects narrative by making the picture unique and strange
    injecting narrative and personality of a story takes a personal touch

  5. Where does the magic lie in these photographs? How she arranged it.
    Is Photoshop the answer? No, how she ordered it
    if you put the right ones in order it will look nice
    i would arrange them how it would look good, and how it would fit.

  6. she is trying to make childhood stories because she enjoys that kind of stuff. it looks like something from allice and wonderland or Narnia with all the green trees and bushes around her. then the person is very colorful in the picture. she has a narrative by using objects to tell some sort of story.
