The Decorative Arts
“There is a quiet elegance to Bruce’s photography’”
- Jayne Wrightsman, Connoisseur and Philanthropist
Whether a work is made of highly reflective metal, rare and precious gemstones, or more humble materials such as clay, glass, or wood, bringing out an object’s personality is a forté and passion for Bruce. From ten meter long tapestries in Belgium, full scale Renaissance horse armors at Madrid’s Royal Palace, or a Cartier jewel box from a private collection on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, Bruce makes objects look their absolute best through careful lighting and considered composition. Perfection, sophistication, and beauty as seen though the lens.
