Mira San Francisco
If you’ve been following me long enough you know I adore any design by Jeanne Gang (Studio Gang Architects). So, when I saw her newish building, Mira, being developed in San Francisco I knew I had to get there to shoot it! As luck would have it, I found myself in SF the last week […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Winter Light & Droning at the Lincoln Park Pavilion
Well, here I am again getting out of the habit of shooting. So, new year, new plans to get back into the habit of making images. Last week we had a couple of warm days so I spent some time at one of my favorite Chicago spots, the Studio Gang-designed Lincoln Park pavilion. It was […]
ICM – Aqua & Lake Michigan
Last week I spent a few hours exploring Aqua (for about the millionth time, lol) and Lake Michigan. The impetus was for a potential project with one of my art consultants and needing some intentional camera movement (ICM) shots of the two areas. Surprisingly, I didn’t have any of Aqua. So, why not?! A fun […]
Architect Spotlight | Studio Gang, Chicago
We’re starting a new feature on the blog where we plan to spotlight a specific architect and various building’s they’ve designed. Whether in one city, like today’s post, or various cities. We thought Chicago would be a good place to start, as well as featuring a Chicago-based firm, Studio Gang Architects. Certainly one of our […]
Chicago Private Workshop Recap – June | Hyde Park
In mid-June, I met up with a past workshop participant from Philly for a half-day photo tour through Hyde Park and three Studio Gang-designed buildings. Hyde Park is a bit out of the way from downtown and public transit to the area leaves much to be desired but the area is well worth the visit. […]
