Start to Finish – how I approach shooting an architectural subject
I recently asked on Instagram what you’d all like to learn more about and this was one of the requests, it’s also come up on workshops and elsewhere so it’s about time I try to tackle this subject. It’s a tough one to do through a blog post and why I have been avoiding it, […]
Cascade | Forcade Associates
Late last fall I shot some of the wayfinding and signage at Cascade & Cascade park for Forcade Associates. One of the newest luxury apartment additions to the Lakeshore East neighborhood alongside a fantastic park. Here’s a look at Forcade’s, always, innovative graphic designs.
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Wilmette Private Sculpture | Kate Williams
I was recently commissioned by artist, Kate Williams, to capture images of one of her sculptures placed at a Wilmette private residence. She asked for representational images and more artistic takes on her artwork. Exactly the kind of shoot I love! I spent a few hours photographing this beautiful piece. Here’s a look… One of […]
St Regis Chicago, summer update | Magellan Development
It’s been fun documenting the way the St Regis changes based on the seasons…the differences in the sun and how the light affects the building, the clouds, its natural surroundings. So, just dropping by with a few summer photo updates. First up, bright and early for a June sunrise and those moments just before the […]
