William Eggleston, Graceland, 1984.

As Eggleston was from this part of the American South (Memphis, Tennessee) one imagines he understood the feel of these extraordinary rooms. His style of strong colours combined with his engaging point of view (his 'democratic eye') mark them as very different to standard architectural photography. Despite their angled perspectives the spaces are rendered flat by the confusion of patterns and textures, the depth of field is technically deep and yet everything is about surface.

Thanks to Morgan Jones for the suggestion and the informative comment/expansion attached to this post.
