As the official portraitist of the Metropolitan Opera from 1908 until 1932 he became the foremost portrayer of Golden Age opera singers. While photographing opera stars for the Metropolitan he maintained a portrait studio frequented by many of the most significant performing artists of the day. "In certain respects he had the most difficult task of any theatrical photographer of the early 20th century for he was constantly having to temper the hyperbolically dramatic poses that opera singers employed on the vast stages of Europe and America so that they didn't appear ludicrous shot from a twelve-foot distance. His subjects were among the least tractable persons to instruction in the performing arts and were generally infected with decorative sensibilities. That Mishkin was able to satisfy his sitters and adjust to the increasingly less ornamental aesthetic of modern photography was a testament to his tact and flexibility."
