Haute Bohemians: Greece by Miguel Flores-Vianna. Photo: Vendome Press
“Greece is like a second home,” says Miguel Flores-Vianna, the London-based photographer renowned for capturing interiors at their peak beauty. “I spend about five weeks there every summer and am very enamored of Greek culture and their way of life.” It’s no surprise, then, that Flores-Vianna’s latest book, Haute Bohemians: Greece (Vendome Press), is a love letter to the vibrant Mediterranean country and its bevy of rustic-chic island hideaways.
The lush volume features a poetic collection of bewitching residences belonging to a host of contemporary talents, among them painters Helen and Brice Marden (above), antiques dealer Eleni Martinou, and architect Katerina Tsigarida. “I tried to find houses that really reflect the personalities of those who lived in them,” he adds. “These are my favorite houses anywhere in the world, the ones that feel authentic and well lived, houses that showcase the geography of their owners’ lives.”
