Book smart

Richard Powers is among a growing list of inspiring photographers whose work I always keep an eye out for. I've featured his work here before, so it was a lovely surprise when he dropped me a line to let me know he'd just shot a fancy-schmacy new book for Thames & Hudson. He also kindly asked me to the London launch party for the book too but, ahem, I think I had to wash my hair that night, lol. Anyhoo, The Iconic House, written by Dominic Bradbury, is completely jammed with gorgous shots of hauntingly incredible interiors and exteriors. Below you'll see a couple of particular faves of mine - That Richard Rogers yellow and glass number from 1969 could actually entice me to move back to the UK, and the white wonder below it, by Arne Jacobsen, is a total jaw dropper. Stay in touch Richard!

  

Have camera, will travel

Richard Powers thinks he would have made a terrible fashion photographer, funny thing is I'm happy he thinks this, since his interior photography is so delicious. I came across his work on a cool blog called Yatzer, while I was marvelling at an artist's Manhattan loft space that he'd shot (make sure you click on that link, it's a fab place). So I went digging, found his website and dropped him a line asking if he'd mind me sharing some of his work. Luckily he said yes, so here's just a taste.

Richard has shot around the world - you name it, he's been there - and his work has popped up in top o' the line mags like Wallpaper*, World of Interiors, Dwell and Elle Decoration. He's also shot a couple of books worth checking; Beyond Bawa, by David Robson, and Tropical Minimal by Danielle Miller. Does he ever sit still? Probably not, lol. Click here to spend some time checking out his incredible portfolio, and click here to be wowed by, ummm, a mouth-watering library of 56 houses that he's shot in hot spots like Brazil, Denmark, Australia and Switzerland.
