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 […]
Architecture Masterprize Best of the Best
I’m excited to share that I’ve won in three categories in the recent Photography Architecture Masterprize Awards. First up, Best of the Best in the Historic Interiors category with a couple of images from Copenhagen’s Grundtvig’s Church. Truly an incredible space. And, I randomly lucked out with a group filming in this space and using […]
Millennium Park
Today, I had a short private photowalk with three lovely ladies and we did a quick tour of some of the incredible Lakeshore East architecture. We started in Millennium Park (the only area I photographed on this walk) and then made our way to Aqua and St Regis. Thought I’d share the few images I […]

Symmetry & When To Use It
One of my favorite compositional tools. It creates order, balance, strength – when used with intention. When not, it can create an image that feels stale and boring. So, when does it work? Here are a few examples of when you might want to consider symmetry. Lateral symmetry Think of it like folding a book […]
Private Photwalks Recap | Fall 2023
Typically, I do these photowalk recaps individually but things have been a little crazy lately so I decided on a couple of things. There are a couple of reasons for this. So, I decided the iPhone would free me up to maybe see things a bit differently and use it as a sort of sketch […]
Chicago Commission
I was recently commissioned to shoot 12 properties around Chicago for a real estate compliance company. They were looking for detailed/abstracted takes on their properties for marketing purposes. Always fun when my typical approach to shooting architecture is appreciated by companies like this. And a fun opportunity to shoot some buildings I may not have […]
Contrasts – Shadow vs Light
Contrasts are one of my favorite themes to look for when making images. There are many to consider – old/new, warm/cool, smooth/rough, and today we’ll discuss shadow/light. Subtle Variations It can be subtle and can take a very straightforward image that might be dull in flat lighting conditions more interesting. In this shot, I’ve centered […]
Los Angeles 2023 Workshop Recap
The first workshop of 2023 is in the books! LA’s been having some odd weather this year and it sure wasn’t the most cooperative for us but we still had a great time and got some great shots. Just gotta improvise your approach when you don’t get the sun you expect/hope for. Same goes for […]
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 […]
