September's Vogue cover was shot by photographer Tyler Mitchell.

The cover shoot took place just outside of London in the English countryside.

On working with Beyoncé, Mitchell said, "You'd imagine someone as famous as Beyoncé to be protective of her image, but she was really an open book -- and that's exactly what you want as a photographer."

This is not Beyoncé's only cover for Vogue. She was first featured on the cover in 2009 and again in 2013. She was also the September issue cover star in 2015.

The cover photographer Tyler Mitchell is the first African-American to shoot a Vogue cover in the magazine's 125-year history.

At just 23 years old, Mitchell is also one of the youngest photographers to have shot a Vogue cover.
