Frequent TREATS! contributor, Tony Duran, whose sensual forms and architectural approach to photography, collaborates with French furniture house Jean de Merry. The end result is fabric, form, furniture, and function melding together to create iconic and arresting images that showcase both Duran’s identifiable sultry style with Jean de Merry’s fragile, yet masculine approach to chic environments. Duran’s use of only natural light and two specific locations, along with his harem of beautiful souls harkens back to what Duran calls his old days of shooting where photography wasn’t all about money or production, but the subject matter and composition bathed in the most beautiful light. Locations include de Merry’s sophisticated Melrose Place Showroom playing against the more gritty, haunting warehouse where the designer’s pieces are hand-crafted—flowers in the attic meets diamonds in the rough.
