Exposing what dwells within.
The newest Cville ABODE is on stands now! The feature story this month focuses on the live/work studios of three local women; two artists and one designer. I loved meeting each of these women and photographing their lovely, creative spaces. Each deserves their own post, and today I am starting with painter Abby Kasonik's backyard studio. I love the bright, open space with oversized plants and a collection of unique found objects.
Check out this month's C-Ville Abode!!! There is lots of AHP between the covers...
The new Tablescape column! Such fun to style and photograph.
Mike and Karen Ball in the 'A Room of One's Own' column.
Feature story about three yurts in and around Charlottesville.
Many thanks to C-Ville for the opportunity to photograph such fun people, spaces, and food!
Check out this month's issue of Abode, featuring architect Jim Tuley's last design. I love this modern home, which utilizes it's steep lot remarkably well. The homeowners' art collection is quite impressive, too.
A few of my favorites from the shoot...
To follow my images of Cate's home, I wanted to share this image from the March issue of Abode. It is the space of Iñaki Alday, chair of the Department of Architecture at UVA, and partner in the firm owned by he and his wife, aldayjover. I love this quote that Cate captured from Iñaki:
"A compliment we received from a photographer once was that our work is hard to photograph. We think this is good. It means the qualities are not obvious and staged in a way that looks like a set. I have a hard time with spaces that are designed only to look great in a photograph. Rooms are meant to be lived in." - Iñaki Alday
Check out this month's ABODE (on stands now!) for the full story about this eclectic Charlottesville residence!
