In this exhition, his work was exposed alongside with photographies from Keith Arnatt, Jane Bown, John Davies, Anna Fox, Paul Graham, Chris Killip, Daniel Meadows, Martin Parr, Chris Steele Perkins, Paul Reas, Paul Seawright, Homer Sykes, and Tom Wood.


Mitchell's work is held in the permanent collections of the Royal Photographic Society and Leeds Art Gallery.
