Many people ask how I fi nd the homes I photograph. That’s not at all a problem. Every architect, designer, furniture builder, contractor and decorator in the entire world wants and needs to be published. It’s incredibly important to the health and growth of any business. Consequently, I’m often inundated with PR packages from business people all over the world. Sometimes I receive half a dozen packages a day from different designers wanting me to see their work. And, frankly, I love seeing new material. But I can’t choose everyone, so I have to be very selective.
