Geoffrey Bradfield’s safari-themed 80th birthday celebration

This series documents the 80th birthday of Geoffrey Bradfield, the internationally celebrated interior designer and AD100 honoree, whose distinctive vision has shaped some of the world’s most sophisticated interiors. Held at The Lowell Hotel on Manhattan’s Upper East Side, his safari-themed celebration brought together an elegant circle of friends, creatives, and New York society. Guests embraced the theme through expressive fashion, animal prints, and theatrical details, transforming the evening into a visual world of its own. Through candid moments, portraits, and details, I sought to capture not only the grandeur of the celebration, but Bradfield’s unmistakable sense of style, wit, and individuality. The result is a portrait of a milestone evening where design, fashion, personality, and New York social life converged.
