You may remember I interviewed Melbourne-born, everywhere-based Paul Barbera around this time last year. Since then Paul has received even more much-deserved press and online coverage for his fantastic 'Where They Create' website - a photographic project in which Paul documents the workspaces and studios of creative people all over the world. Where They Create now has a cult following all of it's own, and will soon be turned into beautiful BOOK thanks to the publishers behind FRAME magazine. Nice one!
EXCITINGLY, even though Paul is seriously world-famous and super busy(!!), he has agreed to grace The Design Files Guest Blog this week! Here he will share his top 5 favourite workspaces from the Where They Create project, giving us a little background behind each space and why it is so special to him. I must say, after browsing his website, I often do fund myself craving a little more background info... finally we can now hear some of the stories behind these stunning images!
HUGE THANKS to Paul for joining the Guest Blog this week! Don't forget to pop over and visit everyday to see his work!
