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.
















This picture is for my Dad. He would love this boat, I am certain.



































Gorgeous – I want to crawl through my screen and live in that house!
Gah. All so good. Like his use of perspective – it gives, well, an interesting perspective on the spaces!
Beautiful. I especially love the crispness of the white room with the slight touches of lavendar from the hydrangeas and the throw blanket.
Hi all !!!!
Just back from shooting the GORGEOUS ! Ocean House, Watch Hill, RI. A must see. Off to Napa for the 4th weekend then Nantucket next week. So pleased you like the images. Perhaps a chance to shoot together in the future ?
Cheers, mp
Oh my goodness – that blue dining room wall is to die for!! Love your blog Erin – it is the first one I read every morning! Keep it up! :)
I know this is about the photographer, not the design per se, but I love love LOVE the black, white and yellow rooms in the top two pics. Breathtaking. Sophisticated and comfortable all at once. xoxo, tanja
this photography is superb! can’t stop staring at these rooms, they’re gorgeous!!!
He’s a baller! I am definitely bookmarking that dining room with the X table and leather chairs, it makes my heart go pitter-patter; oh… and those chain link tables!!
Oh, a lot of this IS about the decor! :)
Absolutely beautiful! All the rooms seem so peaceful.
Beautiful shots! and that gigantic blue and white Roman Shade is INSANE!!!! I need one for my kitchen! Thanks for the design inspiration once again!
Wow. Obsessed with this photographer now…thanks again for adding to my Google reader :)
these images are great! such a treat for my eyes this a.m.
Such beautiful pictures! The grey house is my dream house…le sigh.
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.
Wishing you a happy and safe 4th of July weekend x
OMG!!! Those pictures made my heart flutter!!!!!!! ;)
those are beautiful houses…
Amazing find, Erin — these pictures are amazingly awesome. Happy Fourth! xxoo
Mmm, delicious, delicious eye-candy. Thank you!
pretty – i like the chandeliers!
I DIE over that black, white and yellow room! The soft blue and white is also gorgeous as is the all white kitchen table (although it makes the klutz in me itch). I love the blue-black-white combo, it really pops.
Awesome photography! I love the chandeliers! xxx
Happy Fourth of July to all you Yanks!
Amazing design and even more amazing photos – thanks so much for sharing – I always love learning the names of photographers that catch these great spaces!
I am so happy to see you feature Michael! He is one of my favorite photographers, and actually, most of the images you show here, I styled. He is a joy to work with and has an amazing eye!
Beautiful images. That motor boat Caper is my Uncle Johns.What fun to see!
