Purchase options and add-ons

In his first published monograph, Tyler Mitchell, one of America's distinguished photographers, imagines what a Black utopia could look like.

I Can Make You Feel Good, is a 206-page celebration of photographer and filmmaker Tyler Mitchell's distinctive vision of a Black utopia. The book unifies and expands upon Mitchell's body of photography and film from his first US solo exhibition at the International Center of Photography (ICP) in New York.

Each page of I Can Make You Feel Good is full bleed and bathed in Mitchell's signature candy-colored palette. With no white space visible, the book's design mirrors the photographer's all-encompassing vision which is characterized by a use of glowing natural light and rich color to portray the young Black men and women he photographs with intimacy and optimism.

The monograph features written contributions from Hans Ulrich Obrist (Artistic Director, Serpentine Galleries), Deborah Willis (Chair of the Department of Photography & Imaging at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University), Mirjam Kooiman (Curator, Foam) and Isolde Brielmaier (Curator-at-Large, ICP), whose critical voices examine the cultural prevalence of Mitchell's reimagining of the Black experience.

Based in Brooklyn, Mitchell works across many genres to explore and document a new aesthetic of Blackness. He is regularly published in avant- garde magazines, commissioned by prominent fashion houses, and exhibited in renowned art institutions, Mitchell has lectured at many such institutions including Harvard University, Paris Photo and the International Center of Photography (ICP), on the politics of image making.

5.0 out of 5 stars Evocative, powerful celebration
Reviewed in the United States on September 1, 2020
Verified Purchase
Pre-ordered this book at the height of BLM protests this summer, wanting to support black voices/perspectives. Thrilled with that decision -- each time I sit down with it I'm struck anew by the joy/positivity within. TM writes in the foreword about his vision of a black utopia and it's visible throughout. The subjects are comfortable in the camera's gaze, as if he's created a safe space -- lacking in the rest of the world -- for them to simply breathe/be in.

Some of the shots reflect his background in fashion photography. In the context of the larger work they read to me as "now these aren't just models, they're citizens of their own world; now they're not just borrowing elaborate/expensive clothes, they own them and inhabit them." May not sound groundbreaking, but it's made me realize how inundated I am with images of black suffering/poverty/need/second-class-ness. This book replaces those images with a different story of black agency, imagination/vision, and safe self-celebration.

For me, these photos illustrate TM's vision of a space to imagine, to build selves and families that play. The historical and current absence of such a space becomes all the starker by contrast.

Art is subjective, so YMMV. And my experience with this book may not reflect the artist's intent. I'm not entitled to any correct or valid interpretation just because I bought this, but I'm glad I did.

Beautiful book! I love Tyler Mitchell’s work, I’ve been following him for years. So excited to get his book, images are stunning. Definitely one of my favorite coffee table books. The “hardcover” isn’t really a hardcover lol, but it’s okay.

最近欧米では若いフォトグラファーが一流ブランドの写真を担当している。この本もとても美しく斬新な切り口で撮られた写真ばかりだ。日本だと有名な先生や、カメラマンが起用されるのがほとんどであるが。若く勢いのある写真は、見るものをハッとさせる力がある。早く日本も若いアーティストにチャンスを与えて欲しいと願う。

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 15, 2021

My review is about the book itself. Delivery was absolutely fine.
I am such a huge fan of Tyler and its amazing how one book can change everything for good or for bad. Quality of the paper is bad. Everything about this book is so WEIRD- the paper, size of the book, the way images are presented - no white borders, no space to breath, while flipping through pages, essays in the beginning at the end... huge font. I have loads of photography books but this book felt so bad! It makes experience for the viewer so poor. I wish I never bought it.
