{photographer: michael paul, london}

. . . happened upon the portfolio of lifestyle photographer and london-based new zealander, michael paul, and fell in to a world of chevron floors and beds with silk canopies, champagne and pearls on gilt marble tables and the most beautifully atmospheric play of light and shadow . . .

{p.s.} you may have recognized some of these stunning rooms from the pages of vogue entertaining + travel, gourmet, martha stewart living, real simple, food and wine, vogue living, other favourites
