Helen Mitchell

Helen is a Lecturer in the School of Fine Arts at Massey University in Wellington, where she is Photography Programme Leader for the Bachelor of Design.

Her early photographic practice engaged with issues around conservation and the commodification of the landscape. More recent landscape projects focus on the contrivance to establish a sense of human presence, either fleetingly or permanently, within the contexts of high altitude environments.

Helen’s academic specialisations are in landscape theory and practice, studio and documentary photography.

“Portraits of Ink”, an exhibition by Massey University photography lecturer and 2013 Convention workshop facilitator Helen Michell, was was shown in 2012 at the Photospace Gallery in Wellington. More details are available here
