Beautiful Home Kitchen by Marietta Calas:

One of the striking features of this kitchen by Marietta Calas is the additional height afforded to the cabinets by eliminating a soffit. As the eye travels upward, elegant gold hardware is crowned by smoked glass inserts on the very top cabinets, creating a refined vertical emphasis that draws attention without overwhelming the palette.

Custom granite countertops and a backsplash cut from the same vein deliver a seamless, clean yet striking surface plane. The continuous stone ties the room together and provides a durable, sculptural backdrop for food prep and display.

The black walnut center island, with matching granite, is exceptionally large—designed to accommodate serious dinner preparation while also serving as a casual spot for lunch or an early breakfast. Its scale anchors the kitchen and balances the tall cabinetry.

Commercial-grade appliances are integrated throughout and finished with coordinating gold hardware and knobs, allowing them to read as cohesive elements rather than visual interruptions. This careful integration keeps the focus on materials and form.

The kitchen opens into the dining area and flows into the living space, creating an ideal plan for gathering and conversation—an open sequence that supports both everyday living and entertaining. More to come.

Classic Four Seasons Room by Expressive Interiors:

One of the rooms we enjoyed most while photographing a recent project for Marietta Calas was this incredible four-seasons room. Large, comfortable swivel rockers create an ideal seating area for gazing out through the five-panel floor-to-ceiling glass doors.

It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or settling into a good book while enjoying uninterrupted outdoor views. Imagine this space after a fresh snowfall — soft white light filtering through the glass, contrast against warm textiles and natural wood tones. Wow. More to come.

Master Suite by Marietta Calas:

This Marietta Calas master suite exudes warmth and refined comfort. Rich tonal layers and bespoke furnishings create an inviting environment where every element feels thoughtfully considered. Custom draperies and curated fine art pieces frame the space, while a luxurious, handcrafted carpet grounds the room with texture and warmth.

A handmade king-size bed with coordinated bench and custom bedding anchors the sleeping area, flanked by large hardwood bedside tables that balance scale and craftsmanship. Twin swivel upholstered chairs provide the perfect nook for reading, catching the evening news, or enjoying a glass of wine before turning in. The composition is completed by a bronze-and-glass overhead fixture and tailored table lamps, which deliver layered, intimate lighting.

The master bath has a simple elegant slipper tub for those relaxing late night soaks, and it’s adorned by a lovely framed canvas wall art with twin faux frames that draw the eye upward to the sparkling glass light fixture which acts as the crowning jewel for this space.

No detail is overlooked; the result is a master suite that is simultaneously elegant and comfortably livable—an ideal subject for architectural and interior photography that captures both form and feeling.

Elegant Entry Way by Marietta Calas:

Just a couple of teaser photos from a recent shoot with interior designer Marietta Calas. We’ll be doing a room-by-room series of this beautiful home, starting here at the front door and this stunning entryway.

Custom light fixtures, curated wall art, a handmade mirror, and a bespoke console table set the tone. The custom chair and the console table were both designed by Marietta, anchoring the space with thoughtful proportion and materiality.

Stay tuned — more rooms and details to come.

Setting Up The Shot - HENGE Showroom Chicago:

A recent assignment for LUMINAIRE a couple of weeks ago had me shooting the HENGE showroom display. Time was tight, so we worked with two cameras to save time and capture more angles. Here, my  business partner Mary Price frames a vertical of a HENGE living room display. 

The composition was incredible — clean lines, balanced negative space, and the subtle textures that make HENGE pieces sing on camera. The client loved the final image, and so did I.

Dining Areas by HENGE:

The HENGE display at the LUMINAIRE showroom in Chicago features two dining rooms — striking is the only word that comes to mind. HENGE’s built furniture combines sculptural presence with impeccable craftsmanship; the design, materials, and finish work are beyond imagination.

We were on site to cover the showroom introduction for the who’s who of high-end interior design. It was a lively, well-curated event and a pleasure to document. For now, the architectural images say it all — we’ll post the full gallery soon. More to come!

Living Room by HENGE:

I especially love the solid bronze bookcase and bespoke furnishings by HENGE in the living room display at the Chicago Luminaire showroom. These pieces redefine what high-end interior design can be: sculptural, tactile, and utterly precise. The bronze bookcase, with its weighty presence and refined patina, anchors the space while showcasing an extraordinary attention to detail. HENGE’s custom furnishings complement it perfectly, balancing material richness with a quiet, modern restraint.

After nearly 30 years of photographing interiors, I can say the build quality here is exceptional — every joint, finish, and seam speaks to a level of craftsmanship that elevates the whole room. I’m excited to share more images and perspectives from this shoot soon. More to come.
