MODERN MARVEL: A Study in Light and Luxury with Vanessa Di Palma Wright

Go inside one of Park City’s most striking contemporary estates, where high fashion meets architectural precision.

The Architectural Soul
This project began as a pure creative pursuit—an editorial shoot with the hope of finding the right home for such a unique space. We were thrilled when Park City Magazine recognized the vision and chose to feature this "Modern Marvel" in The Luxe List Winter issue. Walking through the residence of Vanessa Di Palma Wright and Jeff Wright, you are immediately struck by the level of taste and sophistication. Not to mention the incredible art on display throughout the home.

The Power of Leading Lines
One of the most technically rewarding aspects of the shoot was balancing real, ambient light with the occasional use of a strobe. Capturing the interaction between integrated LED lighting and sharp geometric lines is a surgical process. The goal was to let the architecture speak for itself, balancing the ambient mountain glow with the home's internal luminosity to highlight its modern elegance. I prioritize visual honesty, capturing the organic atmosphere of a room rather than chasing an over-perfected, artificial ideal often seen in architectural photography.

Artistry in Residence
Vanessa Di Palma Wright, Founder of Farasha, brings a level of curation to her home that extends far beyond her incredible personal wardrobe. For Vanessa, high-fashion isn’t just something you wear—it’s an artistic expression that flows into the very design of the home. Whether it’s the high-end, bespoke sanctuary of her personal closet or the "jewel box" energy of the powder room—styled with Gucci accents and rich textures—every corner feels like a curated gallery. While the study remains a dedicated, quiet retreat for Jeff Wright, the rest of the estate serves as a vibrant canvas for their shared life. Documenting Jeff and Vanessa in these personal spaces allowed me to photograph the true lifestyle of a Park City power couple where every detail is a masterpiece of personal style.

For Utah Style & Design.

I am incredibly honored to be featured in the Winter edition of Utah Style & Design. This project holds a special place for me as it marks my first collaboration with Tally Stevens and Rustin Owens of Curios Homess. Seeing our work together picked up by such a prestigious publication makes the experience even more rewarding.

The space itself was a dream to photograph—full of character and unique details. A huge thank you to the owner, Taylor Lamont, who was the perfect host and made the entire shoot a breeze.

A small excerpt from the article:

To bring the luxury condo to life, Lamont called in designers Tally Stevens and Rustin Owens, principals of Curios Homes, giving them full creative freedom to turn the characterless box into something that reflects his outgoing personality, love of art and the new chapter ahead.

Working closely with Lamont, Stevens and Owens envisioned a home that is anything but beige. They layered stone, pattern and personality into every corner, turning the modest condo into a master class in small-space design. The living area sets the tone with its mix of art, texture and bold, full-scale furnishings that make the space feel substantial rather than small. "Fewer, large-scaled pieces are better than smaller, cluttered pieces," Stevens explains. What had once been a blank TV wall now holds a custom built-in cabinet-painted in a rich taupey clay tone-designed to house Lamont's record collection and provide concealed storage.

The Newman Residence

I recently had the privilege of photographing a breathtaking residence in Highland, Utah. This exquisite dream home, envisioned by its owners, Brandon and Misty Newman, is a masterpiece of functional design. The Newmans generously welcomed me into their stunning property, allowing me to capture its beauty and essence through my lens.

In the words of Brandon Newman:
“Growing up, most Sundays, my parents would drag us kids to faraway places to see homes under construction. I would watch as they commented on the architecture, style, and function. Those countless Sunday house drives turned into a passion for beautiful homes and a desire to combine all those designs into a beautiful and inspiring while, functional and comfortable home for our family. This is the dream Misty and I brought to Millhaven 7 years ago. They helped us bring the impossible to life, from architecture and design to construction and decor. Now, after 6 months of living in our dream home, we could not be happier with the finished product, along with the continued support from the best in the business! Thank you, Millhaven!”
