St Regis Chicago, spring update | Magellan Development
Time to get back to the St Regis for some fleeting spring shots! So far, I think these are my favorites. Lots of variety and the short-lived nature of the weather in Chicago this time of year makes for, hopefully, unique images. First, a little fun with the city surprising us with dying the river […]
Chicagohenge Spring 2021
Chicagohenge is upon us once again. For those of you wondering what the heck I’m talking about, it’s basically the spring equinox where the sun rises and sets along Chicago’s grid. Plus, the light is just amazing this time of year…fiery, intense. Which provides great opportunities for some unique shots whether shooting directly into the […]
Dying of the Chicago River – St Patrick's Day
The city of Chicago surprised us over the weekend dying the river green! Like last year, they had planned to cancel this annual St Patrick’s Day tradition because of Covid. So, this was a fun surprise on a very beautiful day. In the 21 years I’ve lived here I’ve never photographed this so I decided […]
UIC School of Public Health | JGMA
I recently shot a classroom renovation by JGMA at the UIC School of Public Health. Thrilled to work with them again on another project. And, as always, love how they incorporate such bright colors and geat lines into the space.
Lakeshore Winter Sunrise Droning
Last week we had some warmer, sunny days so I decided to drag myself out of bed at the ungodly hour of 4:30am to get ready and get down to the lakefront for some drone shots. Mainly of the St Regis Chicago for a client project but there’s one shot in particular that I grabbed […]
St Regis Chicago, winter update | Magellan Development
I’ll be documenting the St Regis Chicago for Magellan Development over the course of its completion. For now, I’ve been working on getting exterior shots in various weather conditions. We’ve had an chilly, snowy winter resulting in some unique perspectives from the lake and river…snow covered water, cracked ice, snow/sunshine mixtures. Cold to be out […]
St Regis Chicago | Chicago Magazine
I’m thrilled to share I was commissioned by Chicago Magazine last December to create images of the Studio Gang-designed St Regis Chicago! Just after it topped out the magazine and I set out on a warm winter day of shooting various perspectives on this exciting new project. It’s so great to see a new, unique […]
Olafur Eliasson's "Atmospheric Wave Wall"
Another outing in the snow. And another piece of great Chicago public art, the relatively new Olafur Eliasson’s Atmospheric Wave Wall at the Willis Tower. After last Monday’s blizzard, we had a bright sunny morning. Taking advantage of that light, I thought I’d make some snowy images of this fun new sculptural wall. Inspired by […]
“Atmospheric Wave Wall” | Olafur Eliasson
Chicago has been getting bombarded with cold and snow this winter. And earlier this week we had one of the heaviest snowfalls I’ve experienced in my 20+ years living here. Followed by, as luck would have it, a morning of sunshine. So, I headed to check out one of the city’s newest pieces of public […]
The Bean in the Snow
Long on my to-shoot list is The Bean in the snow. Last week we had lots of snow. And, after shooting the new St Regis for a client project I decided to make the short drive over to The Bean. By the time I arrived the little bit of sun we had, had disappeared and […]
