I’m a Chicago-based photographer, focusing on the various aspects of architecture photography. My interest in architecture began with my fascination for big cities; their soaring skyscrapers, unique and varied design and general diversity compared to the small Wisconsin town I grew up in.
Drawing from the precision required from my science background (molecular biology, microbiology, virology), much of my work focuses on details of the built environment, resulting in bold yet elegant images. I’m also drawn to seeing these buildings and spaces that shape our lives and environments in a wider context. Both interpretations highlight different and equally important aspects of the architect’s vision. My goal is to convey the essence of that vision through my lens.
Publication credits include National Geographic, Wall Street Journal (WSJ), Forbes, and Architectural Digest. My work has been exhibited by galleries in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Barcelona and other destinations. Including my Urban Quilt series with the Catherine Edelman Gallery’s Chicago Project.
Awarded the Dezeen Awards 2021 Architecture Photo of the Year for the David Rubenstein Forum 0005 image. “This photograph pushes the boundaries of the discipline,” said the master jury. “It adds a layer of meaning to the architecture, which is poetic and beautiful. The image has a graphic quality, playing with the idea of geometry.”
