Marc Melvin Modern

David — Mon, 23 Mar 2009 21:47:14 +0000

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.

San Francisco Decorator Showcase 2007

David — Sat, 28 Apr 2007 00:06:03 +0000

The San Francisco Decorator Showhouse celebrated its 30th anniversary this year within a grand home a top the Gold Coast with an alumni cast of designers. Bold color and whims played throughout the house. Here are a few examples.

Dianne Chapman has always loved color. In this parlor Dianne paired rich brown walls with soft cream upholstery. Fuchsia takes the day here as the rich accent color, enlivening the space. Syrie Maugham would feel right at home.

Kendall Wilkinson was feeling blue in a great way. This master bedroom with bold turquoise walls is grounded with a rich brown sisal carpet and snapped to attention with over the top Chinoisery inspired drapes.

Ed Lobrano, always known for a well tailored room, kicks back in this crisp sitting room full of perfect selections, details, and great strokes of yellow.

Antonio Martins San Francisco Pad

Leaving a great career with Hyatt Hotels International Properties, Antonio Martins is now a rising star in the Bay Area design scene. We spent about five hours creating these vignettes to tell the story of a young SF bachelor and his pad.

Antonio has years of experience directing and styling photos for Hyatt. During our shoot he had at the ready a wide range of flowers, art and props to make these photos come to life.
