Muse Furniture

The room was silent. I watched Georg, the designer of Muse Furniture, as he  inhaled a cigarette with absolute satisfaction. It was his office, he could do whatever he wanted. The interesting part was he had such trust in the way I would photograph his furniture that the silence was in a way the brief for the shoot. For the days following this meeting, I would work quietly by myself setting up each ‘lifestyle’ shot with Georg’s entire antique collection as my prop cupboard.
