From artists to aristocrats to zebra owning sheiks, James Merrell has photographed some of the most extraordinary and captivating homes around the world.

A constant fascination with people, their homes, their style and inevitably their dogs has resulted in his pictures constantly gracing the pages of some of the most highly regarded international magazines. Elle Decor (US and UK), Martha Stewart Living, The World of Interiors, Vanity Fair, House & Garden, Living Etc, House Beautiful (US) and Tatler are just a few of the publications that feature his wonderful work, along with a number of bestselling interiors books often found on many a stylish coffee table.

Based in England, though often found in the silver tube of an aeroplane travelling to an assignment, James is something of a workaholic, but has been known to occasionally relax on his houseboat.
