Benchmark: Where Architecture Meets Atmosphere Another gem in the 4 Corners collection that I've had the pleasure of capturing is Benchmark - and let me tell you, this place is an absolute photographer's dream! The innovative design (originally designed by SPACE Architects) has created something truly special here, and I get excited every time [...]

Highline Pizza Bar: Where Retro Vibes Meet Modern Virtual Tours I've had the privilege of working with 4 Corners for a decade now (wow!), creating virtual tours for all their locations as they've grown and evolved. When they recently completed a vibrant rebranding of their Highline Pizza Bar location, they had me back to [...]

Crain's claims that Formento's offers a modern take on old school Italian...and I'd have to agree. The front bar and the dining room in the back of the restaurant make you feel like you're stepping back in time, but the vibe is young and hip. You can tell this place buzzes with energy on a [...]

This three level restaurant and bar is the coolest thing in the world, especially if you're into analogue music gear. The decor is like if a speakeasy smashed into a 1970's recording studio. I really enjoyed shooting photos in this place. You should go & enjoy eating, drinking and being merry in this place. [...]

I had the pleasure of shooting the virtual tour of the Freehand Chicago hotel/hostel. It is one of the most unique and cozy hotels I've ever seen. There are nooks next to fireplaces in their lounge, an awesomely hidden away cocktail bar called The Broken Shaker, and rooms that range from villa like penthouses [...]

avec...what more can you say? The vibe on a busy night is vibrant and communal. The wine flows, the food is delicious and the space makes you feel that relaxed feeling reminiscent of a sauna. "Walk" to the back of the restaurant's tour and take a look at the fabulous wine bottle wall, it's absolutely [...]

When it comes to foodies, The Publican is a Chicago staple. I am thrilled to have been able to capture this beloved restaurant. If you're not familiar with them, take the tour....but more importantly - book a reservation and eat there! Below is an excerpt from their website: An homage to beer, pork and [...]

I used to live right around the corner from Brownstone and it was a great corner bar in the North Center neighborhood. Casual, nice outdoor patio, good food & drinks. If you live around there, be sure to stop in sometime; if you don't live there, you should swing by the next time you're in [...]
