      Checking out a friend’s living room set-up is one thing, and looking into the sometimes sterile stylings of Elle Decor, Home & Design and the like is another, but when it comes to knowing what people’s spaces really look like, Todd Selby explores both styles and the characters behind them. The Selby (http://www.theselby.com) is a true look into the most interesting of living spaces - those of the famous, notable, eclectic and simply stylish. First a website, and now a coffee-table book, The Selby Is in Your Place, his photographic projects, whether online or in print, are a must-have indulgence for any interior decor voyeur.

      Exploring homes with style and personality, his photos capture not only the spaces, but reflect the lives of their inhabitants. Striking, and perhaps most obvious, is the degree to which these homes reflect the minds and lifestyles of their owners and dwellers. His handwritten and illustrated interviews accompany the photos, making them all the more personal. Ranging from the palatial paradise of the Louis Vuitton family home, to quaint, vintage-inspired arrangements, to the modern, funky, and functional loft space of Peaches Geldof, Todd Selby catches it all. From vintage to voguish, opulence to organized chaos, The Selby’s intriguing photographs allow your mind to wander, opening doors to the private lives of many of the most interesting and notable characters of our time.
