Todd Selby is a blogger who is building a career on snapping photos of some of the coolest places we’ve never seen. After a few minutes of looking through his new book, “The Selby Is In Your Place” I came realize one thing, MY APARTMENT TOTALLY SUCKS. Thankfully, Todd offered some tips on how to make it better.

Check out our interview below…

FI: What’s your dream shoot? Which celebrity home would you love to shoot?

TS: I really wanna shoot Obama’s White House, he really is the biggest celebrity in the world. I haven’t asked him yet but I’m working on it.  I have a seven year plan to get in so as long he gets reelected,  I’m sure I’ll have an in.

FI: Have you ever been to a home and thought it was just too hideous to shoot?

TS: No, I do a lot of research before, so I’m always sure when I go. I don’t go without knowing.

FI: What’s been your favorite destination so far?

TS: Tahiti, I went last fall with Nike, when I was working with them, and it was amazing. I wanna go back and go to Bora Bora.

FI: Do you ever get requests from people begging you to shoot their homes?

TS: Oh yeah,  I get so many. Sometimes celebrities, a lot of publicists, but I don’t really pay attention to those.  A lot of people around the world which I keep and get to.  I get so many so I’m always going through it.  It’s really cool though when people send me pictures of their places.

FI: Ikea or Bo Concept?

TS: I don’t know what Bo Concept is.

I’ll make my own furniture.

FI: What is your dream house or apartment?

TS: I really like Retts Wood’s house that I shot for my book, she lives in London on a house boat, so I guess sometimes I dream about living here.

FI: Any ideal collaboration?

TS: I just wanna work with the best people, and the best brands and shoot spaces and not repeat myself and push myself in interesting ways and I have a few up my sleeves that you will be hearing about soonish, but not now.

As I sit here, staring at my failed attempt of an edgy college dorm transformation, I cannot help but imagine my future SoHo apartment or the decor of Vogue when I replace Anna Wintour. I’m planning on some enormous skylights, exposed brick walls, wood floors and an eclectic array of mix-matched furniture and art. For now, the grimy bathtub and excruciating fluorescent lighting will have to do, but who says a girl can’t plan ahead? I’ve started to gather inspiration from some of my favorite designers, models and writers, photographed by Todd Selby, in their homes and workspaces. Thanks to The Selby, who photographs “interesting people in creative spaces” I can live vicariously through others until I get my big break. Join me in my stalking by sifting through the galleries below:
