As you walk through Ten Easy Street this season, you may find yourself watched—but never judged—by the rakish, mischievous lens of Nick Mele, whose photographs now line the walls like knowing houseguests. Often likened to a modern-day Slim Aarons, Mele’s work dwells in that elusive space between documentary and daydream. His images conjure the surreal glamour of American resort life—think Palm Beach in high season or Newport in late afternoon light—but always with an irreverent twist. These are not portraits so much as vignettes, glimpses into a world that is both highly polished and slightly unhinged. What sets Mele apart is not just his affection for old-world interiors, but his ability to animate them. Every room he captures feels at once lived-in and performed, as though the characters within might wink at you if you dare to look long enough. It’s this tongue-in-cheek theatricality—equal parts glamour and satire—that makes his work feel so at home within Ten Easy Street. Here, Mele’s photographs do more than adorn—they disrupt. They remind us that luxury, at its most charming, rarely takes itself too seriously.
