A Few Days in Florida with Cannon Design; The Braman Cancer Center

A few months ago, Cannon Design asked me down to Miami beach to Photograph their newly completed Braman Cancer Center. I decided to make it a road trip, and it rained most of the way down there. Then a little before arriving for our afternoon scout, the skies opened up and remained gorgeous for the next three days as I chased the sun all around the building, inside and out. I had such a blast making these photographs, and as always… the company was exceptional. As I finished and was driving away from the project, I felt blessed to have been afforded this opportunity, and… wouldn’t you know it the clouds rolled back in and the rain came down again. I had to laugh at my good fortune with the tempestuous Florida weather 😉

Encuentro Square

I’ve been working with Canopy since 2020, and they do some really thoughtful work.  The majority of their projects are in the affordable housing sector.  I love how they’ve devoted the practice to creating inspired housing for families in need.  I also love how photogenic their buildings are!  Encuentro Square was the most recent project we collaborated on, and I have to say, I’m quite pleased with the results.

1000 South Michigan

We recently completed this work of the new residential high-rise at 1000 South Michigan Avenue, designed by Jahn Studio.  It was a long day with lots of challenges, but really the most fun I’ve had in a while.  I hope the images reflect the joy...

225 Washington Lobby

This swanky amenity space by Wright Heerema was so fun to photograph!  Once we had compositions set, we did quite a bit of lighting, keeping things moody as suited the space. ©...

Flora

Back in April of 2016, I started photographing this series of flora still lifes in a little corner of our dining room.  Since then, I've explored varying compositions and lighting esthetics, shot in black and white as well as color of stems both freshly cut...

Brininstool + Lynch in Florida

We spent about 2 1/2 days in Florida a while back photographing this lovely project for B+L.  The homeowners were gracious host, providing accommodations, morning coffee and great company. This was one of those projects that I would hardly consider work.  I felt like I was...

Postcards From Berwyn

We’ve been living in the historic suburb of Berwyn for almost 15 years now. Some of the things that my family and I love about the area are its blue-collar roots (Berwyn is anything but snooty), the eclectic style of the city, its inhabitants...

Balancing Contentment and Ambition

If I’m not photographing architecture, playing in my darkroom or hanging out with my family, you might find me teaching Yoga at Ahimsa in Berwyn. One of the themes that I find myself returning to discuss as I settle the class into stillness is the...

6 Tips for Interiors Photography

1. Tell a complete story with the images. Provide visual cues from one image to another, leaving breadcrumbs that walk the viewer through the space. 2. Compose to convey volume, while allowing the eye to travel from foreground to background unimpeded. 3. Layer elements and space to...
