Purchase options and add-ons

How We Live is an intimate photographic journal of designers' and artists' homes and work spaces from around the world, including Mumbai, Beirut, Marrakech, Reykjavik, Mexico City, and Amsterdam, amongst others. American photographer Marcia Prentice travelled to each of the international cities to experience and present 'the soul' of a diverse selection of domestic spaces, revealing the unique spirit of each creative environment. The book includes homes shown in the context of both the pristine, more-established design cities as well as urban locales where economic disadvantage and strife impacts daily life. Each of the 18 featured homeowners provide a glimpse into their private, interior world to show us how the design and atmosphere created in one's own home can be the ultimate artistic canvas.

Marcia Prentice is an American photographer whose style captures the intersection of emotion and design in the home. Starting her career less than five years ago as a self-taught photographer with a background in interior design, she combined both of her sensibilities and built a career as an interior photographer working with designers, home brands, and media. Marcia has established her niche of photographing the homes of creatives with her unique intimate approach, and has photographed over 100 homes of designers and artists.

Her work has been featured in such publications as Architectural Digest, Casa International (Beijing), Vanity Fair (Italia), Grazia UK, and the new Freunde von Freunden book. "How We Live" is Marcia's first book. Her current project is titled, "Welcome Home: Nostalgia and Intimacy in Italian Homes."

5.0 out of 5 stars A refreshing take on the interiors book with a global perspective

No karate chopped pillows or rose-stuffed vases here - just real life, real homes and real people captured beautifully by photographer Marcia Prentice. You won't find a mix like this in other home, design or travel titles. A perfect gift for the wanderlust in your life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Around the world with a designer's eye
Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2016
Wow. If you've traveled, this book will bring you back to those perfect moments when you got to really glance "behind the scenes" of another country. If you've never traveled, this works as a lovely surrogate until the time that you inevitably will (and you WILL be planning a trip by the time you've read the book).
Don't be fooled: this is not a "What the World Eats" type of expose, as Ms. Prentice makes amply clear from the outset. This is a look at how artists and designers live across the world. And what the writer uncovers - through both her words and her lens - is fascinating. Ms. Prentice's subjects are well chosen. Her shots (most in natural light) are well taken. And in reading "How We Live," I've happily found a few new neighborhoods in the world worth checking out.
Looking forward to whatever the author does next!

2.0 out of 5 stars Very disappointed. I liked the cover

Very disappointed. I liked the cover, but would never have bought this if I could have looked at it in a bookstore. Photos are average and not very crisp. Formatting looks preset (as if done on Shutterfly), and the information is quite basic (i.e., "The Southern California surf and skate cultures have influenced fashion, art, film and music around the world" is highlighted). I also found only a handful of the photos inspiring -- Elle Decor magazine does a much better job. Oh well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Every picture tells a story ... beautiful and authentic.
Reviewed in the United States on December 20, 2015
Hats off to Marcia! I can't say enough great things about this book. A beautifully curated collection of people's homes around the world and the stories behind them. The photos capture an authenticity that tells a story far beyond just looking at some shots of someone's interior. I especially love the photos from Morocco and Mexico -- two places dear to my traveling heart! The photos brought me back to those places in an instant. This is a book to take some time with and really study the pictures, since each one tells a distinct and beautiful story. A beautiful addition to leave on the coffee table for myself and guests to sit and peruse for years to come!

5.0 out of 5 stars A great introspection of "How We Live" around the world
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2015
A great introspection of "How We Live" around the world. From a passion that was fueled by her first trip to Rome, Marcia Prentice's first book is a visual journey into intimate spaces of interior designers, architects and creative types from around the globe. Beware-this book will stir your wanderlust and leave you wanting to check the rates on international flights.

Definitely nice book, worth reading for sure.The intimacy of interesting homes around the world captured beautifully without getting into unnecessary staged fake images of interior shots that we're getting accustomed to these days. It is quite clear that it is passion project for her thus takes you with it.... Very happy. Hopefully she continues with this
