I’m very honored that one of the most respected photography publications on the planet, LensWork, has decided to publish my Biltmore House series in Issue #137.
I’m doubly thrilled that they chose to place one of my images on the cover!
The images were shot at the Biltmore House in Asheville, North Carolina, America’s largest private residence.
It was an exciting opportunity to be able photograph there, thanks to my friend Jim Ryan, who made sure that we had complete access to anything we wanted to photograph. This was in itself a challenge; the Biltmore is absolutely chock full of the most amazing things, all personally collected by George and Edith Vanderbilt: priceless hand-carved furniture, 16th century tapestries, a library with 10,000 volumes, 65 fireplaces (each more interesting than the next), original paintings by Renoir and John Singer Sargent, and on and on.
The images are, as always with LensWork, beautifully reproduced.
Here is the opening page of the article, with an image of the Biltmore House as we approached it.
If you aren’t a LensWork subscriber, please consider subscribing HERE; it is a beautifully printed publication, and it contains thought-provoking articles dealing with the state of fine art photography today. I look forward to receiving every issue!
There is also a very content-rich online subscription available HERE.
You can pick up a copy at Barnes and Noble bookstores!
