Leif Prenzlau's work in interiors grew out of friendship. Spending time with furniture designers, ceramicists and makers — people building considered objects and spaces — he found himself drawn to photographing not just the things they made, but the spaces they belong to. It felt like a natural progression from his background in fashion photography: the same attention to light, to atmosphere, to the feeling an image can hold.

What guides his approach is a deep respect for the designer's intention. Rather than reshaping a space for the camera, he looks for what's already there — the quality of light, the mood, the particular stillness a well-considered room can have — and works to preserve it.

Leif grew up in Bondi aswell as spending a few years in the Northern Rivers. Based in Sydney, available worldwide
