Night shot of Crown Fountain in Millenium Park

Join me in my home town for a day of capturing some of the amazing sights the Windy City has to offer. We will start our day in Lincoln Park, my stomping grounds, to grab some coffee, get to know one another and go over our day’s itinerary. We will use public transportation to get around the city, but there will be a lot of walking so plan on comfy shoes.

We will get a gorgeous shot of the iconic skyline where we’ll discuss techniques of landscape photography. As we go, we can take portraits of faces that strike us and talk about tips to getting a great street portrait. We will make our way downtown, grabbing up lots of images as we go, and end our day at the famous Millenium Park. I know everyone probably has a photo of the “Bean,” but we’ll discuss some new techniques for getting a unique image in downtown Chicago. We can cover Black and White photography, HDR, Macro, and any other techniques or questions participants have. We will grab lunch along the way, and finish with an optional dinner at 6:00pm at a pizza joint. (Meals are not included).

This workshop will be laid back while I try to teach everyone something new. I’ll have an assistant with me to help answer all questions and manage the transportation and route. All levels of photographers are welcome, as are those born and bred here as well as visitors. I like to keep this workshop fun and flexible because when you’re in Chicago, you never know what you’ll see.
