At PagodaFest some had brought their Pagoda Style books for signing.
One of the nicer page sets I did in the book was one for noted professional interiors photographer, Paul Raeside. Today I learned that Paul passed away in February of this year, yet another statistic in the passing of those highlighted in the book.
Briefly, Paul Raeside was an English photographer based in London and New York, though he often found himself globe-trotting for commercial projects with luxury brands across the USA and Europe. He has captured interiors for Architectural Digest, Elle Decor and Vogue Living, and was an ambassador for Leica Cameras, shooting at large with Leica SL2s. He studied at the Sotheby’s Institute of Art, the San Francisco Film School, the Association of British Theatre Technicians, Chelsea College of Art and the University of Westminster; he loved art, especially fin de siècle works and pieces from the late 20th century. When he was not traveling, he endeavoured to find time for dogs and large vintage automobiles, particularly those from the 1960s and 1970s.
