The Way I See It: My Approach to Interior Photography
There’s something magnetic about walking into a space that feels like it tells a story — not just through what’s in it, but through how the light touches it. That’s the feeling I aim to capture every time I pick up my camera. It's not just about documenting interiors — it’s about preserving a mood, a memory, a stillness in time.
Take Friday Street Antiques & Curiosities, for example. That place is packed to the rafters with antiques— but instead of trying to capture everything at once, I focused on how the light draped over objects, how shadows formed little pockets of mystery, how materials interacted quietly. It's not just about what's in the frame — it's about how it feels to stand there.

Light and Shadow — My Essential Tools
Natural light is everything to me. I wait for the right time of day, watching how sunlight moves across a room, how it deepens a corner or highlights texture.
Shadows aren’t something to hide — they’re what give a space its soul.
Sometimes I’ll sit quietly in a room for a while before shooting — just observing how it breathes, where the energy sits. A certain slant of light can transform the most ordinary corner into something cinematic.

Influences That Shaped My Eye
I pull inspiration from a blend of worlds — not just photography. Painters like Edward Hopper and Giorgio Morandi taught me the power of restraint and mood. The quiet tension in their compositions influences the way I frame a shot.
Designers like Axel Vervoordt remind me that great interiors aren’t just about things — they’re about feeling. Their work carries atmosphere, and that's what I aim for with every click.
I’m also deeply drawn to the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi — the beauty in imperfection, the texture of age, the elegance of simplicity. You’ll see that influence in the way I approach spaces that feel worn-in or timeworn — I don’t try to polish them, I let them be.

Why I Shoot the Way I Do
For me, interior photography isn’t about perfection. It’s about connection. Whether I’m shooting a modernist flat or a quirky antique shop, I want the viewer to feel like they’ve stepped inside — like they’ve paused for a moment in that space, with all its light, shadow, texture, and time.
So when you scroll through my work, I hope you feel a quiet kind of intimacy — a respect for space, and a love for the in-between moments.
