PHOTOGRAPHER Keith Isaacs is an architectural photographer based in Raleigh. His work has been featured in ARCHITECT Magazine, Architectural Digest, Dezeen, Dwell, Domino and Wallpaper*, among others. “It was an honor to have the opportunity to photograph Frank Harmon’s final project. His far-reaching impact on modernism throughout North Carolina and the wider region are immeasurable, evidenced by not only his own incredible work, but—maybe more importantly—by the numerous awardwinning firms and designers that have come out his practice. The Sepi Saidi residence is a great example of the sensitive, vernacular modernism that echoes throughout his body of work and continued legacy.”
