TWA Hotel: Runway View King Room

The mid-century aesthetic of the TWA Hotel at JFK in New York City is an attraction in itself, however when you add in the novelty of a runway view room it becomes pretty easy to lose yourself in the romance of the jet-setter lifestyle of the 1960s. 

I already had the vintage TWA boarding pass and postcards for my travel shoots, but the room helped round things out with the vintage phone, copies of Life magazine, and a fully stocked bar that wouldn't look out of place in Mad Men. While it's worth noting that none of the rooms at the TWA Hotel come cheap - the stay is definitely an experience.

Evening View of the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France

I spent a lot of time searching out iconic views to capture the Eiffel Tower while in Paris, France. After all the wandering and various shoots over several weeks, on my final night in the city I moved out of central Paris and was rewarded with this incredible view directly from my hotel room. Turns out all I was missing was a view from further back.
