Whether capturing a blushing sky and palm trees in LA during sunset, referencing David Hockney’s pool divers, or touring Pierre Cardin’s Bubble Palace near Cannes, this book of 321 iPhone photos is a visual treat. 


Luxury of Space: Photographs by Oberto Gili

Oberto Gili

Oberto Gili’s camera captures human moments and spaces in a way that are both intimate and stylish. His camera, like his personality, is whimsical, questioning, non-judgemental and tenderly objective. Gili’s images of interiors capture fundamental flashes of human existence, quiet moments and basic needs. The images in this stunning volume are a diary of the interiors and situations that have, over the last thirty years, strung together Gili’s curiosity and fantasy. Simple, still and understated, Gili’s images of interiors capture settings that are timeless and personal.
