GREAT INTERIOR DESIGN PHOTOGRAPHERS & THEIR PHOTOS

In my frustration today of trying to be an interior photographer for one of my interior/decoration projects, I decided to find  professional interior photographers and learn from them… at least admire their work and maybe feel bad for myself… I tooked at my magazines like Elle Décor, Veranda, no longer in the market (too bad) Domino, Interior Design, etc&ect in search of some fantastic rooms and their fantastic photographs of them. I got some names and went to visit their online portfolios. Let me tell you something: THEY ARE GOOD! And I wonder how long they took to learn how to photograph like that?! I chose 4 people and, what is interesting to observe, is that each one has their own individual style… and they're beautiful on their own… The places are incredible and light, and I would say that most of them have a stylist?! And the stylists do a really good job too… I would like share their work with you and I would love to hear your opinion about each one of them and their styles…?!

Mikkel Vang Photography

I think Mikkel Vang has a kind of 'vintage' look in his pictures...
I love the contrast of light and dark spots on his pictures...

Melanie Acevedo Photography



Melaine Acevedo has a playful and light way of photographing...  I learned from her that it is a good idea to take a shot of a general picture and then take a more detailed picture from the same space...  Hum!  Good!



Roger Davies Photography

 

Roger Davies is so sharp and  I love the way he plays with the image of the girl in the mirror.  I mean, I don't quite understand what is going on there...   I don't know if it is on the mirror or it's just an image standing there...?!).
What I think, is that it is quite sexy! 
And I love the two pictures of the 'man with bird' side by side in color 'blue & pink'...  Sexy too!



William Waldron

It seems that he likes to capture that 'special moment'! I would say that he is the 'paparazzi' of the rooms...



  

SONG OF THE WEEK #1

This time going to Brazil (in my burden) I found a very interesting new Brazilian musician...  Her songs are so sweet and melodic that made me feel calmer and more patient during my 10 hours flight from New York to Sao Paulo.  I listened her album over and over...  It was like listing a little 'bird signing' in my ears. 

Tie, that's her name, short and sweet.  According to her Tie is a bird's kind that her hippie mom gave to her...

Would like to watch video and listen one of my favorite songs from the album?

Falling In Love for New York City Again...

I am trying to fall in love for New York again...  I am going back to old photos saved in my folders, in my photo albums, going to my travel books (New York City), trying to remember how great this city is...  You know... We have to reinvent, rediscovery, feed our loves...  So here I am...  working hard on that 'old love' that has been a little weak lately! 

Taken in the MoMA - The Museum of Modern Art.

Sooo cute... 'My Love Locked for You'.  Lovely detail...

Walking through...  Walks inside the MoMA Museum are 'red passionate'!

Below follow a series of pictures taken in the MoMA:

I love the MoMA Museum, but the 

New Museum of Contemporary Art is very interesting too;

located at Bowery Street... (like the architecture).  I need to go visit this one more... ;-)

Bookstore of the Contemporary Museum of Art.

In the coffee area of the Contemporary Museum of Art.

... I don't know...?! I like this picture.

And I let the 'Gods' of  The MET of New York speak about it...!!!

And let Vincent Van Gogh speaks about it too...!

I think you know where this loooong tail lives?!

 American Museum of Natural History is a looooot of fun!!!

Check these out:

POST STILL IN PROGRESS...

11 YEARS! MY LIFE IN NY!

Stairs in Penn Station to 7th Avenue.

Today I woke up thinking about posting something that I could celebrate my welcome back home… It’s been few a days I since came back from Brazil. As it always happens, I come back feeling a little bit blue… missing my family and friends, and my mother land! So I thought about writing something about New York to remember how great this city is… so that way I could feel a little bit better. But do you know what?! I remember that today it’s my 11 year anniversary of coming to New York. On September 1, 1999, I arrived in NY. Since then I’ve always been here… learning how to be a New Yorker. New York is a place that is transforming every minute, full of different things and places. There is always something new; some place new to be discovered!

I would like to share some of my favorite places and things that you can find in this rich city!

New York Hot Dog.

I don't have to say who this Lady is, right?!

You can see the meeting of 5th Ave & Broadway (bottom of the photo).

Ah! Detail: View from the master, Empire State Building!

Vibrant and crowded Times Square. 

If you come to NY for the first time you have to go to The Phantom of the Opera!

Central Park Ice Skating.  I don't know how to skate, but I like to watch the skaters and listen to the music!

 Central Park's Musicians.

World Financial Center at the end of the day...

The sillouette of boats and buildings looking from Battery Park City, at the end of day!

Romantic and mellow...

Taken at Battery Park City.  I love this area of Manhattan on a Sunday afternoon.

Brooklyn Bridge view from Dumbo-Brooklyn.

Do you see the Master King in the middle of the bridge foot?

I love the texture of old buildings...

...the history of each building.

Building located at Soho. I am fascinated with the architectural details of it.

Colorful buildings between Soho and Chinatown.  I love this kind of urban 'street scenery'.

  

Manhattan street scene.  Typical advertising posts attached to the street walls.  

I like the street graffiti. Street Pop Art. Taken in Soho.

Ah... And The Botanical Garden of The Bronx.

Ah... The cherry blossons in the spring...  Botanical Garden of The Bronx.

I love the tulips being sold in the markets on the streets.

How about a gigantic butterfly at the Botanical Garden in The Bronx?!

When I moved to NY I used to live in Astoria-Queens.  N Train was the subway that I used to take every day to go to Manhattan.  I have a 'special feeling' for this train...!?  Strange...

QUEENS: Structure of the world globe of the New York World's Fair (1964) located at Flushing Meadow Corona Park. 

 

Flushing Meadow Corona Park. Buildings from the World's Fair 1964.

Cirque Du Soleil built every year in Randal's Island: between Queens, Manhattan and The Bronx.

Going back to Manhattan... What a sky, huh?! The skies are dramatic in New York!

Interesting to go see the ocean creatures at the New York Aquarium in Coney Island.

Talking about creatures that act like human beings...  You have to see the gorillas in The Bronx Zoo!

 My favorites of all the animals there! 

I love to see a snow storm... but from my window (inside my home).

The Christmas decoration detail is just a detail of the exuberant Christmas

decoration of the Long Island houses.

Oh! We can't miss window shopping the stores of 5th Avenue.

I am going to sleep now...  It's a long story!  I can't finish this today...

All photos taken by me (except the where I'm eating the hot dog).
