EPA Headquarters | JGMA
A few months ago, I spent a couple of days with JGMA documenting their transformation of an old Sears into the new EPA Headquarters. Once a windowless box, it’s now been transformed into a colorful space full of windows and skylights with a large staircase as a central highlight.
ALAS | Gensler
Catching up on some past shoots, here’s another beautiful office I shot earlier this year for Gensler.
Obama Library | Obama Foundation
It’s been since late spring since I paid the Obama Library a visit. After a call with the Obama Foundation for some updated photos I stopped by one early morning a couple of weeks ago.
Camversation Photowalk
Last Friday, Mark Evans, founder of Camversation, was kind enough to invite me along on his photowalk around downtown Chicago. He was in town with his family from the UK and organized a little meetup with a group of photographers. Also, a few months ago a couple of photographers introduced the two of us. Such […]
Chicago Private Workshop – October 2024
I recently spent a few hours with a couple originally from Chile, now based in Miami, and visiting Chicago for a few days for a private walk around some of Chicago’s downtown architecture. They asked great questions and asked to see what I was shooting in the moment. A great way to push myself in […]
Downtown Wanderings
Last Friday we finally had some sunshine, along with some pretty cold temps, which seems unavoidable in the winter. Oh well, despite the cold, I think I finally have a little project idea in mind. I need sunshine and clear skies so I had to take advantage of the right conditions. I’m not going to […]
Carbide and Carbon Building
On this freezing cold day, I decided to continue the procrastination on something I’ve been meaning to do for years and is especially top of mind lately. Why? A couple of reasons – this thing is new, I don’t entirely know where or how to begin, and we had sun for the first time in […]
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 […]
New Images – Cloudscrapers
Tuesday I had the opportunity to do a one-on-one photowalk with a woman that wanted a little guidance on some technical aspects, as well as compositional elements, of architectural photography. We had such a great couple of hours together and I think we both learned a few things! One of the benefits of teaching…it never […]
Aqua Abstracts
After Saturday’s Out of Chicago Photography conference sessions wrapped up there was a little bit of light left so I decided to get those abstract shots of the Radisson Blu Aqua building I’ve been meaning to do for quite a long time. I rented the telephoto 70-200mm lens knowing my usual 24-70mm just isn’t long […]
