… they are so beautiful. Inspiration today comes from the stellar portfolio of food and lifestyle photographer Brett Stevens. OMG! The colour, the pure saturated colour and don’t get me started on the lighting, the composition, the angles. It’s official. I have a new photographer crush and these shots are of… food vignettes. Beating heart, short of breath, slightly feverish and not a wide angle room shot in sight. Can a table full of tomatoes be sexy? Can a bowl of cake mix make me weak at the knees? Can I smear that blue all over my body like a woad warrior? Dreaming of colours and textures, mixing and marrying for new room inspirations. Beauty is everywhere and today it is here captured through the lens of Brett Stevens.

Every now and then I mention my love for graphic elements in a space. Large letters (or numbers) is one such method of adding something bold and graphic to a room. Whether they be vintage from a marquee or new cut from wood I think it’s a decor element that is fun and in your face. I’ve got some vintage gas station numbers I found on Etsy that I used in my bedroom (photo below) but I’d love something much bigger eventually. So here are some examples…

Thought I’d stimulate the sense with some eye-catching interior photography once again, this time with a taste of the portfolio of California-based photographer James Baigrie.

Did you love the styling for the Inside Out feature on Steve and Helena Trupp of Empirical Style in the last post? As soon as I found out it was by Julia Green of Greenhouse Interiors I hot footed it over to her website and oohed and aahed. Vintage + colour + collections + layers + crafted and found = a quirky, fun, vibrant and down right happy portfolio. Rooms full of treasure without being “precious’. Just the way I want to live!

A creator of beautiful images, an artist balancing his composition, an alchemist of light. New York-based Hector Sanchez is my new photographer crush. Passion and beauty, colour and composition.
