It didn’t take long for the young photographer and filmmaker Tyler Mitchell to make a name for himself.

When he was a teenager growing up in Marietta, Ga., he earned a following by posting skate videos on Instagram and Tumblr. As a junior at New York University, he studied with Deborah Willis, the respected black contemporary photographer. And at 23, Mr. Mitchell became the first black photographer — and one of the youngest — to shoot the cover of Vogue magazine. His subject: Beyoncé.

Mr. Mitchell is best known for his fashion photography. He has worked with Marc Jacobs and Converse, and he has styled many of his subjects, several of whom are friends, in clothes purchased at Goodwill. But his work also deals with the more complicated reality of identity, particularly race and gender.

Mr. Mitchell’s first solo exhibition, “I Can Make You Feel Good,” on view at Foam in Amsterdam, includes images from his personal and commissioned work. The photographs tell stories of family life and togetherness, revealing an imagined utopia filled with young black figures in bright, beautiful colors.
