When Lightning Strikes: lightning meeting Willis Tower above Chicago’s skyline, photographed in black and white.

Fine-Art Architectural Photograph

When Lightning Strikes 

When Lightning Strikes captures a brief moment above Chicago: a jagged bolt meeting Willis Tower beneath a storm-darkened sky. I use black and white to keep the lightning, skyline and reflections in sharp contrast. The tension between a familiar landmark and a passing storm gives the photograph its character. It offers a dramatic focal point for a living room, office or Chicago-inspired interior.
