Vertical Chicago

TELL THE STORY

Vertical Chicago is a photographic study of the city’s iconic skyline, capturing the sculptural presence of its high-rise architecture in stark black and white. Each image isolates a building against the sky, emphasizing verticality, rhythm, and structural detail. The absence of color distills form to pure light and shadow, allowing texture and geometry to dominate. Together, the series reflects Chicago’s legacy as a birthplace of the skyscraper and explores how vertical lines shape both the city’s identity and its enduring architectural imagination.
