Oh my! Oh my, oh my, oh my! Have you ever seen such amazing colour? The lovely light. Shadows subtly adding to the shots. I am inspired by photographer Kate Mathis' work. From vignettes to rooms her images are beautiful. Sometimes a closeup of objects or a colour study can get the creative juices flowing and make my mind tick over with ideas just as much as a cleverly designed space.
Beauty in simplicity. Beauty in the imperfect. Beauty captured by photographer Seth Smoot. Soft natural night, rough natural surfaces. A story teller with a lens. Hello new photographer crush.
A marriage of past and present, at times luxe and at others restrained. Colour, composition and proportion are all important to Uruguayan born, New York based Fernando Santangelo. His rooms can be exuberant and crowded with interest yet equally his designs are spare and peaceful. A sense of drama, though, is always present.
Telling a story is important to photographer Scott Frances. Capturing the essence, the atmosphere of a space is just as paramount as detailing the designer's work. Architecture with mood, images with emotion. You will find my original post on Scott Frances' work here but I'm glad I revisited his portfolio. Diving into an architect's work through the lens of a photographer with a holistic approach.
Fabulous new work from Jared Frank of topsy design. You'll remember his charming patio from this post but now he has cranked it up another notch. Love!
"Hadar Lorenzo wanted an annex to the men's store, that could function as a stand alone shop. A place to try out new clothes, ideas, and designers before committing to carrying them at his other locations. It was important to both of us that the shop continued H Lorenzo's long tradition of cutting edge design but that if also had its own style. Also, just as critical as the retail below, Hadar wanted an upstairs client lounge, where he could entertain clients and meet with peers over sake or espresso. Packing all this into such a narrow room, while maintaining a sense of lightness and freshness was my primary challenge."
