Olga Ashby - Rive Gauche

Project Description:

This elegant Parisian apartment, designed by Olga Ashby, is a masterclass in luxury and timeless design. Set in a Haussmannian building, the interiors balance classic architectural grandeur and modern refinement. A curated selection of antique and contemporary pieces creates a space that feels both sophisticated and inviting. Rich textures—velvet, marble, and gilded finishes—add depth, while soft, ambient lighting enhances the apartment’s warmth and intimacy. At its core, this home is designed for elevated entertaining, where each room flows seamlessly into the next, offering a harmonious backdrop for gatherings and quiet moments alike.

The Shoot:

It was a rewarding experience to spend three days photographing this Parisian apartment. The timing was perfect—we caught the last autumn leaves through the windows, adding a warm, rustic backdrop to the elegant interiors.

Most of the shoot relied on natural light, enhancing the soft textures and rich details, though the entry hallway and study needed a touch of artificial light and post-production to bring out their depth. With some final works still underway, we had to carefully plan each shot to work around them.

Working with Olga Ashby was a pleasure—her eye for detail and styling made every shot come together beautifully. We also captured video content for Instagram, making the most of the time to document the project fully.

The project has since been widely published in major design publications, marking another success for Olga and me. Post-production was all about keeping the images true to life, enhancing warmth and depth while preserving the space’s natural elegance.
