While in Chicago, I wandered along the Riverwalk, taking in the city’s energy—the towering skyline, the rippling water, and the way light and shadow played off the buildings. Every corner had a story, and my camera was there to capture it.

I explored the streets, followed the river, and eventually found a rooftop with a perfect view of the skyline. The result? A series of images that capture the contrast, texture, and spirit of Chicago.
