This is the amazing stylist/still-life artist SONIA RENTSCH in her now-demolished apartment. This story was featured in Frame Magazine:

"Photographer Paul Barbera travels the world, documenting the work places and homes of creatives. One of his most recent visits included that to Sonia Rentsch. When looking at these photographs, one can’t deny that here must live a person with an enormous eye for detail. Every little corner and shelf functions as a stage for nick nacks, art works and creative outbursts. A Q&A with the still-life artist:

Where do you live?
Melbourne, Australia. My apartment is tucked in a secret little suburb that most people don't even know exists – between a huge cemetery, a park and a bike track. It's one of my favourite places in the world.

Do you also work from home?
I sure do. Unless I'm on set, in which case you'll find me in a photographer’s studio moving things by the millimetre till they appear 'just so'. It is my belief that a good working space should have incredible light, windows that open wide for fresh air and huge bookshelves to fill with inspirations. My house fulfils that brief to a tee. I often work late and it's also super to open one door and fall into bed through another. I wouldn't have it any other way."
