Photography & Interiors

By Simon Upton and Remy Renzullo

Upton, the photographer, and Renzullo, the interior designer, will discuss how photography has influenced interior design and the way in which we remember historic interiors. “So many of our favorite interiors only exist today in photographs—a 3-dimensional space recorded and translated into a 2-dimensional one—proof, perhaps, that photography and interior design are irrefutably interlinked,” says Upton. A home may be private, but photography reveals and records the creativity imbued in it, the work of so many, from artisans and artists to architects and landscape designers. In his role as a photographer, Upton sees himself as a conduit, then, helping to illustrate and translate our interiors and our homes, thereby informing a wider audience of the design and aesthetic in which we live.
