Domestic interiors
ordinary rooms in unexceptional
buildings might seem a rather dull
proposition, but every place has its
charm, and images taken in this type
of setting can have a very honest,
sometimes almost poignant, feel.

Words and pictures
locations can offer unexpected
opportunities, but recognizing them
is one thing, introducing them
successfully into an image is
another. i love the graphic effect
of the graffiti and the lettering in the
images above and right. By only
showing the model’s shadow
against the graffiti, she seems to
become a part of it. in the “foto”
image, i especially liked the way the
lettering was reflected in the marble
fireplace, so i made sure i included
it in the shot.
