Private Photowalk – Chicago, May 2022

The first private photowalk of the season. It’s kind of feeling like spring…kind of. The forecast was looking promising but we had chilly temps and gray skies. Still, we had a great time and got some great shots all over the Loop. We started with something bright and cheerful, Calatrava’s Constellation sculpture at River Point […]
Fulton Labs (400 N Aberdeen) | ESG Architecture & Design

Just before Christmas, I stopped by the nearly complete Fulton Labs in the Fulton Market District. It was a warmish day with some great skies so I thought, despite the building not being fully complete, I’d stop by for at least a few drone shots. When I first approached the building the late afternoon winter […]
Northwestern University Photowalk, fall 2021

About a month ago, FreshLens Chicago, a photography program for teens in under-resourced areas of the city, held a fundraiser. I’m lucky enough to be part of their advisory board and I also donated a photowalk to the fundraiser. Today’s post is a result of that walk. I met up with three very fun ladies […]
St Regis Chicago, interiors | Magellan Development + Studio Gang Architects + HBA

I recently photographed the amenities spaces of the St Regis Chicago. Both for upcoming award submissions and the usual marketing purposes. It’s been months in the making with all the covid delays in furniture and finishings arriving, the space was finally to a point of being able to be photographed. First up, the beautiful south […]

Lincoln Park Pavilion at Night

As I’m sure you’ve heard me mention once or twice, I generally hate using a tripod. Particularly for the more detailed and abstract perspectives of architecture. But, I’ve also wanted to shoot a number of architectural locations in this abstracted way at night or dawn/dusk. Oh the conundrum, because a tripod really is a must. […]
Chicago Workshop Recap – October 2021

This is the first time I’ve ever done two Chicago workshops in one year. With covid still being such an issue, I decided to stick close to home + someone who couldn’t make this October session planned to do a private session with the exact same itinerary in August so we opened it up to […]
Dentsu Chicago office | Clune Construction, Studios Architecture, LOOP Lighting

I recently had the pleasure of shooting the fantastic Dentsu Chicago offices for Clune Construction, Studios Architecture and LOOP Lighting. What a great space! Five floors with beautiful design and incredible lighting. Here’s a look at some of the spaces. First, the editing bays and sound rooms. Now for one of the reception areas and […]
Private Photowalk – The Loop, Millennium Park, Lakeshore East

It’s been a busy summer for private photowalks! This time around I met up with two ladies from Philly who either have never been to Chicago or haven’t been here in many years. So much fun having the opportunity to show them some of Chicago’s best architecture. We started with the relatively new Calatrava sculpture, […]
Jacob Jonas The Company at NEIU | JGMA

JGMA recently commissioned me to photograph some behind-the-scenes shots of video production of Jacob Jonas The Company at their NEIU designed site. What a great backdrop for this video, which was produced by Alex Horner and featured tap dancer Jumaane Taylor. Much of the video was produced in the hallway. A nice way to silhouette […]
