Above, the series of photos from the cover story I photographed for the Dwell February 2015 issue. This renovated apartment in São Paulo is located in the Jardins neighborhood. Its defining characteristic is certainly the indoor/outdoor terrace, which is a rarity in congested São Paulo apartment buildings. So nice to bring nature indoors in a big city.

It was a beautiful, sunny day so the light was great for the shoot – and the owner (Simone Santos) and one of the architects (Alexandre Skaff, of SAO Arquitetura) made it a really fun shoot day, too. Simone & Alex were incredibly kind and welcoming and provided lots of laughs and good tunes. After the sun had set over the SP skyline and I snapped my final shot, we ordered a pizza and opened a couple bottles of wine. A really memorable shoot! Very thankful to Dwell for this assignment.
