The trendsetting photographer made his name by breaking more than a few shelter-magazine rules; he eschewed wealthy playgrounds devoid of personal elements and captured the glorious perfection of imperfection in order to focus on the intimate story behind a space,.
Having traveled frequently via Airbnb, Selby picked five properties around the world to photograph in collaboration with the company. He stayed with Tom Dixon’s daughter in London and an art dealer in Paris, and also hit up Tokyo, Sydney and Los Angeles. He spent two days in each location, getting to know his hosts and their experiences in their cities.
