I’m on a roll this week with amazing photographers. I’ve always been attracted to how a photographer can take a good room and make it great and then transform a great space into something sublime. Loving Dave Henderson’s portfolio particularly the way he frames a photo and the interesting angles he uses. These are from his inside places selection but please don’t miss his outside places and his personal work. The flowers! OMG!

There’s a moodiness to the photos of Martyn Thompson. Beautiful painterly light and rich autumnal colour palette make them almost enigmatic. Yes that’s what it is. His camera is like a paint brush. Internationally acclaimed Australian born Thompson’s work ranges from editorial features in major magazines like British Vogue, House & Garden, Gourmet, Vogue Living Australia to advertising campaigns for Ralph Lauren and Hermes. In fact it was in Vogue Living Australia that I saw his beautiful floral shots. You can find them in his still life portfolio. These images are from his rep’s site as his own is currently being updated.

Stunning photos today from the portfolio of photographer Eric Staudenmaier. Specialising in architectural and interior photography Eric is able to capture a designer’s intentions with a space and through his lens take you into a room or place you on the sidewalk staring longingly at the building before you. His architectural folio is great but don’t miss his personal work as well. I just had to include some of his garden shots. Check out the rest on his website. Your thumb will be turning green just looking at them.

The interior design team at BAMO are strong, talented, creative individuals producing wonderful, brilliant, and sometimes quirky designs. Here’s how they describe their work. “BAMO does not follow a single design style. In fact, we feel that it is more important to have style than be in a style. Our work ranges from traditional to contemporary, but each project incorporates both an elegance and comfort level that make the spaces livable and a true reflection of their context and occupants.” Check out the pagoda folly. How cool is that!

I’ve showcased Hecker Phelan Guthrie before but I just had to revisit their hospitality portfolio after seeing their latest project The Ivy in the last Belle magazine. I need to hop a plane and go for a drink. The first two pictures give you just a taste. (You can see more in their press section.) Lots of fabulous ideas to “steal” here for dining areas. Love their work!
