Todd Selby’s new book, “The Selby Is In Your Place” features artist Phillip Smiley and fashion designer wife Abigail Smiley Smith on the cover in the yard of their London home.

When photographer Todd Selby launched his self-titled blog in 2008, his concept was to simply capture photos of his stylish friends in their homes and post them on his site.
