My wife Molly Douglas Mele and my business partner Kristen Schonwald Ryan went to Charlotte a few months ago for an art show. We didn’t have any photoshoots planned, but far be it from me to waste a good location…

I’ve always been much more comfortable behind the camera than in front of it, but I’m going to make an effort to change that.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how important it is for people to understand not just what goes into my photographs, but why I make them in the first place.

If someone is going to invest in a piece of my art and live with it on their walls, I think they deserve to know a little more about the person who created it. The ideas, the inspiration, the months of planning, the ridiculous situations we find ourselves in, and the occasional happy accident that makes the whole thing worthwhile.

There’s a lot more to these photographs than what you see in the frame, and I want to do a better job of sharing that part of the story. And the people who give me perspective (ahem Molly Douglas Mele )

So expect to see a little more of me talking to the camera. I can’t promise it’ll be particularly polished, but at least it’ll be authentic. And hopefully occasionally entertaining.

No matter what I’m photographing, the goal is usually the same: I want to make you smile.

That’s true of my fine art, but it’s just as true when I’m shooting portraits or lifestyle. I’m always looking for the little thing that makes an image feel less perfect and more human. A strange gesture. An unexpected prop. A moment that feels slightly off in exactly the right way.

Beautiful is nice. Beautiful with a sense of humor is much more interesting.

If you look at one of my photographs and smile before you’ve even figured out why, I’ve done my job.

Happy 125th Birthday Bergdorf Goodman !!! 🥂

An enormous thank you and congratulations to lindafargo , and to David Hoey and his brilliant window display team, Cydney Preston and Andrew Mandel for the trust, and for letting us dream big (and occasionally a little absurdly).
The result is our love letter to Bergdorfs and New York - 125 years of glamour, imagination and wonderful eccentricity.

Chester, Oatsie and Dodo at Lands End circa 2014. So much of the inspiration for my art comes from the real people and scenes I had the pleasure of surrounding myself with early on in life. There is so much I love about this photo. How about you?

For me, photographing an interior isn’t all that different from creating a portrait or one of my fine art photographs. The people may be missing, but I’m still looking for the same things: character, personality and a story.

I love rooms that tell you something about the people who live in them. The books they actually read. The things they’ve collected. The chair that’s been in the family forever. The slightly strange object that probably has a very good story behind it.

I think that’s also what separates a great interior designer. They’re able to bring their own point of view to a room while still making it unmistakably about the person who lives there. The best rooms somehow feel collected rather than decorated. They feel like a home even when no one has technically lived in them yet.

That’s what I’m trying to capture when I photograph a room. I’m not interested in making it look too perfect. I don’t need everything properly put away or retouched within an inch of its life. A crack in the wall doesn’t bother me. Neither does a worn carpet or a crooked stack of books.

Those imperfections are often the things that give a room its personality. I don’t really want to photograph a perfect room. I want to photograph a room that feels like it belongs to someone.
