Henry Bourne photographs his home in London for the Spring 2012 Design issue of T Magazine. Bourne shares the mid-19th century house with his wife, designer Harriet Anstruther, and their teenage daughter. Anstruther restored the late-Georgian architecture of the house and mixed traditional and modern furniture and accents for the décor. Art hangs everywhere; both old and new art work Anstruther and Bourne collect, and Bourne’s own photography. His studio is on the basement level and it opens to a garden courtyard. Bourne calls the house the best of both worlds. He explains, “I would say I’m a modernist, but I love the Georgian aesthetic — especially when it isn’t filled with Georgian things.”

The Selby photographs the rustic interior and menu of Brooklyn restaurant Isa for his latest Edible Selby column for T Magazine. The woodsy eatery has stripped-down interiors with exposed tree branches and piles of firewood. The menu features tapas-sized dishes and entrees, such as raw scallops with apple and celery and beef tartare with smoked oil and juniper berries. Taavo Somer, the architect behind Freemans in downtown New York, and Ignacio Mattos, the former chef of Il Buco, run the restaurant. Both use the word “primitive” to describe the food and the space. The Selby photographed Somer and Mattos as they prepared meals and the menu. He also added one of his signature drawings, this one of a caveman, as a nod to the restaurant’s simple theme.

The Selby captured Mya Henry and Eric Werner at their restaurant Hartwood and at the local farmer’s market, Valladolid.

Bobby Fisher captures artist Ashley Bickerton at his home in Bali for T Magazine’s Holiday 2010 issue. Bickerton is a former 80s wild-child artist from the Neo-Geo movement. Short for “new geometry”, the movement was defined by Bickerton, Jeff Koons, and Peter Halley and was a mix of pop, minimalist, and conceptual art. He moved to Bali full time in 1993, searching for a refuge close to sea and surf. During Fisher’s visit, Bickerton was at work on new art for a spring show in New York as well as picking old art to be featured in an upcoming book.

Bobby Fisher photographs the exclusive surf resort of Nihiwatu for T Magazine’s winter travel edition. Located on the remote Indonesian island of Sumba, Nihiwatu is home to one of the best surf breaks in the world. Adventurers flock to the eco-resort to test themselves against the legendary waves and to see one of the last Stone Age cultures on Earth. Claude Graves, one of only 3 Westerners living permanently on the island, has spent the last 20 years building the resort. It functions completely off the grid, producing much of its own food, electricity, and diesel fuel. In addition to surfing, Nihiwatu boasts world-class fishing, diving and snorkeling and land activities such as mountain biking, trekking, yoga, and massages.
