PHOTOGRAPHERS

S-born Michael DePasquale and Italian native Martina Maffni met in 2011 when DePasquale was working as a still-life photographer in New York and Maffni was starting out her career in Paris. “For quite a few years we kept travelling together between Paris and New York,” says Maffni, who with DePasquale shot a Paris apartment by designer Diego Delgado-Elias () and architect Michele Pasini’s Milan) for this issue. “We started to work together in 2014, when we photographed the house of a fashion designer,” says Maffni. “We went on to find beautiful homes and historical places to photograph and that allowed us to travel and work together.” Today, the pair calls Paris home. “Diego’s project was a highlight. It’s the third space we have shot for him and because of the scale, it was interesting for us to see how he designs different spaces,” says DePasquale. “And we loved the architectural details in Michele’s home and his use of different materials like stainless steel and brass.”
