Moon Over Lake Michigan

Bring quiet drama into your space with this Chicago skyline panorama, a black-and-white photograph made for clean, modern interiors. Captured from Adler Planetarium in the early morning with the moon still glowing above the city, this piece balances sharp architecture, calm water, and soft light in a way that feels timeless on canvas.

I made this photograph just after sunrise, when Chicago was still settling into the day and the moon lingered above the skyline. That early light gave the city a calm, sculptural presence, and the wide panoramic frame let the buildings, shoreline, and water breathe together in one quiet view. It felt like a rare Chicago moment where motion paused and the skyline simply held its ground.
