robert007 — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 20:48:40 +0000

The perfect team came together to reboot this Mill Valley home with Victorian roots. The architect, Leigha Heydt, worked her contextual magic to make this home feel so neighborly with the other homes on a classic tree lined street. Leaveing just one wall standing the fine contractors of Kearney O’Banion worked their magic with the numbers and trades to fine effect. Ben Dhong then pulls it all together with a fresh interior design, livable, classic and fun. Well done all!!!

Take-away: Sixteen photo taken in five and half hours, invoice split between three firms. Value Added and Use: Two photos created with special placement of furnishings, two photos created with extensive use of Photoshop, consultation on publishing channels, scheduled for magazine publication.

Steven Volpe in Two Takes

robert007 — Fri, 29 Jul 2011 20:43:33 +0000

San Francisco has many great designers, Steven Volpe might be the designer’s designer. What always intrigues me when shooting his projects is the juxtaposition of furnishings and objects. Like a three level chess game the assemblage within Steven’s interiors mix period, line, provenance and lux with fine aplomb. A feast for the connoisseur eye.

The photos here are of his San Francisco South of Market loft shot first for large spread in the coffee table book “Dealers Choice” and then again for the real estate needs of Neal Ward. When shooting for designers I look to show the relationship of things, when shooting for real estate I seek the relationship of the spaces.

Marc Melvin Modern

The recession ends many business models and the publishing industry is one of them undergoing great transformation. Most publishing is maintained by a strong cash flow from advertising. With Ad sales down, production costs up (paper, printing, postage) and subscriptions down, publications are squeezed from many sides.

To its greatest degree ever we are finding viewership increasing online and are finding print readership in decline. Yet more eyeballs are looking at more media than ever before. Successful publishers will be the ones adapting these trends by creating revenue streams to maintain their publications.

Interior designer Marc Melvin asked that I photograph this very modern home in Marin so he could submit the project to Western Interiors Magazine. While the home had been published before with mostly exterior photos commissioned by architect Stanley Saitowitz, what I call the complete home story had never been told.

Western Interiors liked what they saw and scheduled an extensive two day shoot, the day before their shoot the magazine was sold and the project is now on hold as the new publisher takes control.

The project is still great and fresh and will find publication someday if not in Western Interiors then somewhere else. Here are some of the photos that got Western Interiors hooked…

March Gallery San Francisco

David — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 23:08:13 +0000

Since 2003 the store MARCH in San Francisco’s Pacific Height neighborhood has been sharing with the city their unique vision of modern luxury and sophisticated furnishings. Owners Sam Hamilton and Mark Cunningham, alumni of Polo, find comfort in Belgium linen, shades of taupe and the juxtaposition of period antiques with readymades of ethos.

I had the privilege to show my fine art work in December 2007 with the exhibition “New Works”. The serene abstractions of nature brought a rich and textured layer to the space.
