Giorgio Possenti

Posted on Mon, 23 Sep 2013 by midcenturyjo

I am often asked whether I get bored with the images and spaces that cross my path everyday. The answer is no. There is always something, someone that makes me stop, take measure and smile. Yes. That is beautiful. Like the soft, silvery light that plays across the portfolio of Italian photographer Giorgio Possenti, the geometry of the modern and minimalist spaces he photographs repeated in his images or the way he uses focus to heighten the audience’s anticipation.

Light, bright, white

Those three words are synonymous with one style. Scandi style. I’m stalking a lovely light home in Skåne region of Sweden. The house is from the late 1800s, lovingly brought into the present. Simple and stylish. A pretty home set amongst pear trees behind white garden walls. What do I love most? It must be heaven to sit under pear blossom. Heaven. But when I tire of that there are always those amazing grey Douglas fir floors. More here.

Stalking summer

Posted on Thu, 19 Sep 2013 by midcenturyjo

I can smell summer. I can smell the salt in the air, the smoke from distant bush fires on the breeze. I can smell freshly caught fish on barbecues and sunscreen. I can hear waves softly lapping, gum leaves on gum trees dancing, the kids next door squealing in the pool and the soft putt putt putt of a dingy on the way out to a sail boat. I really can when I dream about this home I found real estate stalking. Palm Beach, Sydney on the Pittwater side. I could never afford it but I can dream and sniff the salt in the air. Link here while it lasts.

 

 

She gets it

She just gets it. We’ve featured Australian photographer Armelle Habib many times on the blog and her work is always fresh and always inspiring. Candid and real, her images of amazing homes are amazing in themselves. There is no fight, no conflict, no awkward questions about whether it’s the great room or the great photographer. It’s both because this photographer gives us as good as she gets. Genius and that’s why her work is now being seen around the world. She works with the best, photographs the best and produces the best that appear in the best magazines. OK enough from the peanut gallery here. Enjoy!
