there’s nothing quite like a nice bit of lemon zest to liven up a room. yellow is such a light, happy color, no? how can you be blue, when everything thing has a sunny, yellow disposition? yeah, i have no idea, either. just the tiniest little burst of yellow can put a whole new, upbeat spin on a room. see what i mean?

New York-based photographer Martyn Thompson is a respected and prolific image maker with work that ranges from glam rock to images of his own avant-garde garments. it turned out Thompson’s images attracted more attention than the clothes themselves, launching a brand new career as a documenter of beautiful interiors and architecture.

Martyn Thompson has a mastery of natural light and his images are moody and sometimes surreal. his new book, interiors contains a selection of the some of the artists’ and designers’ homes Martyn Thompson has photographed over the years. a stunning collection of the homes of the most well-known figures in the design world, including Calvin Klein; interior designer Thomas O’Brien; fashion designer Francisco Costa; hotelier Sean MacPherson; and fashion designer Anna Sui; so interiors is a sneak-peak into the spaces of the style-makers. It is packed with the kind of aspirational interiors book people will reference time and time again, collecting ideas and inspiration for their own homes.
