She attended NYU and received her B.A. in the Humanities from The New School . A job as stylist for the photographer Tosh Matsumoto was Tytell's first introduction to world of photography, and it was Matsumoto's own suggestion that prompted Tytell to start out on her own, and attend the Germain School of Photography. Tytell's first job in photography came in 1972 when Ralph Lauren (at that time only a necktie designer) chose her to photograph his first collection. She has continued to work in fashion for clients such as, Givenchy, Christian Dior, and W Magazine in Paris. Her editorial work has been published in over sixty countries during her tenure at Gamma-Liaison in New York, and Sipa Press in Paris. "National Geographic, Time, Life, People, Stern, Geo, Fortune, Playboy, Photo, and other magazines have printed her name next to stunning, evocative, and provocative portraits of the famous and the familiar, the downtrodden and the destitute."〔Sandi Switzer, Rutland Daily Herald, ''World Globetrotting Photographer Mellon Tytell Captures Kaleidoscope of Images'', Sept 9, 1999〕 Some of her extended documentary series consists of a major body of work on Haiti, made over several years on numerous trips, whose subjects include studies on opium in the Golden Triangle; the Rainbow family gathering in the piney woods of East Texas; life on the Ile Saint Louis in Paris; the bulls and wild horses of the Cammargue region in France; the psychic pilgrimage of a group of young Americans to sacred Inca sites in the Andes; and the Afro-Caribs in Suriname.
