We’ve profiled a lot of celebrity photographers here at the Met, but we haven’t ever seen such stunning photos like these. Is it really possible to take some of our favorite celebrities and make them look even cooler?
There’s an effortlessness to Lorenzo Agius’s work, things never look forced. In fact, it seems as though Agius only brings out the God-given personalities of his subjects.

Love the bold shape and colour of this campus bank…
Although the structure was designed at first without a specific functional use (it could be a coffee shop, a guardhouse or a small convenience store), it ended up being built as an agency for the Santander-Totta Bank with little modifications to the original layout.
The strong red color of the bank’s visual code helped to emphasize the formal intentions of the project, revealing the “excavation” of the original volume. This combination, in turn, allowed for a very strong expression of the bank’s identity in this place. Both the Polytechnic and the Bank were pleased with this symbiosis and pushed for a rapid construction of this structure.

Love some of the elements of this house, especially the ballroom hoarding in the living room!
Victorian house with open plan living space, folding doors which open up the entire back of the house onto the garden with outdoor fireplace under bamboo roof. Furnished in mid century modern style and modern classics.

Next stop heaven? Actually, it’s the Bund in Shanghai. On the short trip between Pudong and the Bund, commuters are treated to one hell of a underground light show.
