Beautiful work of photography from the photographer David Leventi. His photographs have been widely published in Culture + Travel, Vanity Fair. David Leventi’s current project, titled “Bjoerling’s Larynx,” records the interiors of world-famous opera houses. Photographed with a large-format view camera, this body of work is architecturally meticulous. The large prints historically document these national landmarks, capturing rows of velvet seats, ornate private boxes, chandeliers and gilt decorations in incredible detail.
