Through the Lens of Michael Partenio

Photographer Michael Partenio’s portfolio is one that has ignited some creative thinking for me!  Sometimes it feels like I’ve seen everything out there when it comes to great interior  photography and then I come across a fresh new crop of pictures like this that get me giddy again! I love the crisp New England breeze that seems to flow through all his shots.  A magnificent eye, I think.

    Gah. All so good. Like his use of perspective – it gives, well, an interesting perspective on the spaces!

  3. Beautiful. I especially love the crispness of the white room with the slight touches of lavendar from the hydrangeas and the throw blanket.

  15. Michael’s photography is like a breathe of fresh sea air. It just kept getting better & better. The old woody wagon & the Chris Craft boat would be a dream to own. I’m sure I must be your father’s age?!! Thanks for showing us M’s delightful work Erin.
