In a Room is a conversation series where we ask our friends to share their favourite domestic spaces. For this edition we’re joined by photographer Nic Gossage.
Nic Gossage is a Sydney-based photographer specializing in interiors, lifestyle, and still life. Known for his warm, natural tonality and refined aesthetic, his work captures honest moments with a soft yet striking use of light. Initially drawn to photography after a skateboarding injury, he developed his craft through studies at SBIT in Brisbane and hands-on experience in commercial studios.
His portfolio includes collaborations with brands like Cartier, The New York Times, and Sydney Opera House, as well as personal projects such as Other Side, a travel journal shot across America. Gossage’s ability to blend storytelling with a deep appreciation for craftsmanship has made his work highly sought after in editorial and commercial photography.
Here, he invites us into his own home — a warm, considered space designed for ease of living and productivity.

Which room are you in today?
Today, I’m in my lounge room, sitting under the air conditioning - it’s 37 degrees outside.
Which room is the most active in your house?
DI’d say the home office my partner and I share. If we’re not out on shoots, we’re at our computers - whether it’s pre-production, emails, or retouching.
Which room gets the least amount of use?
Our little nook in the back sunroom. It’s set up as a cosy space to sit, relax, read, or have a drink. Our dining table is nearby, so we see it often, but we don’t use it as much as we’d like to.
Which is your work-from-home room of choice?
It’s a middle room between the kitchen and bathroom, with no doors—ideal for darkening when retouching. It also has a small pass-through window into the living room, which is a bit unusual but gives it character.

What defines a great room?
Natural light, warm tones, and maximum comfort with a good flow.
What is your favourite type of room?
I love our living room — it has everything I just described. But I also appreciate a well-designed kitchen and dining space since so much interaction happens there.
What is your all time favourite room?
The master suite on the top floor at Numeroventi in Florence - sitting in a space surrounded by centuries of history, in a Palazzo that dates back to 1510, is something truly special.
