Chicago Engagement


Chicago Engagement, originally uploaded by Mikey Brick.

Sunday, February 8, I had a quick shoot with John and Wendy. Shortly after their flight arrived from Texas, we met at North Avenue Beach to recreate a photo they had seen elsewhere. The composition is about the same in mine, but the lighting and color are a bit different. We also shot some as silhouettes, like their example, but the color of the sky was nothing like that photo largely due to clouds reflecting the city lights. It was a fun shoot, though rather cold, and I look forward to a lot more work with the city of Chicago as a magnificent background…but not always the skyline.
