Description
My job requires me to travel a lot. In fact, you could say that travelling is my job. Working for an airline for almost 25 years and spending more than 15,000 hours in the air has allowed me to discover the world and its beauty.
Since 2015, I have been combining my job with my passion, photography, and if you look at my passion, it is also a journey in itself. From the moment I got hooked to now in the present. Discovering new landscapes and cities, improving my skills with the camera, but also in post-processing. A never-ending journey that gives me great pleasure! My work allows me to visit beautiful places and capture them with my camera. So I feel privileged to have the perfect combination of work and hobby!
For this photo, my work took me to Chicago, and Chicago is one of my favourite cities. The architecture, the urban vibe and the alleys of Chicago are all great subjects to photograph. But perhaps the best thing for me is the Chicago skyline. I think it's the best skyline in the world. The unique skyscrapers, the location on Lake Michigan and the symmetry is just great.
This photo was taken in winter. It was so cold, the lake was frozen, and the skyline was reflected in the ice. Combined with the beautiful morning sunlight, I knew it was going to be a great image. It was definitely worth getting up early and braving the cold. After taking the picture, I went back to the hotel for a nice warm cup of coffee. I was looking forward to flying home and working on this image.
I edit 99% of my photos at home because I use a big screen, a fast desktop and a Wacom tablet to control my photos more precisely and turn them into wall art that would look beautiful on your wall. So if you're looking for unique Chicago wall art, here it is!
