Discover unique urban editorial photoshoot locations in Chicago
Editorial photography is a fun genre to shoot and view. From documentary and family photography to fashion and wedding photography, it embraces all genres with ease. Photoshoot locations are also easy to come by since the venue can be literally any place that fits your concept. That said, many venues require you to book space or purchase a permit. If you're looking for a timeless atmosphere with historical significance to Chicagoans, consider shooting in a local bar, speakeasy, or restaurant. Many of these have been a part of the local landscape for a century or longer. They have connections to historic figures and are usually decorated in an opulent manner.
Creating street-style editorial photography in Chicago
The thing to remember about editorial photography is that it's a storytelling genre. Whether you're creating haute couture fashion editorials, urban fashion, or some blend of the other genres, we want the narrative to be relatable. Editorial photography immerses the viewer in the scene and the subject guides them (and provides a model for the apparel line being featured).
Street-style editorial photography takes things a bit further by moving the studio outdoors. Instead of a carefully controlled subject and lighting environment we want urban architecture, natural light, trees, and other setting clues to weave our narrative. Having people in the background is actually popular in most street-style editorial photography since it creates a chic, sophisticated atmosphere. Clearly, our model is weaving their way through the heart of downtown when we see people in the distance.
Where to do an editorial photoshoot in Chicago?
Classic editorial fashion photography includes tons of people in the background. For dense crowds it's hard to beat the Loop and River North. The entire urban core of Chicago is full of people, especially during rush hour times. That said, other neighborhoods can suggest a busy city core without the crowds. Chic cafes and hole in the wall bars illustrate the context just as well without people if you find them distracting in the background.
If you want more natural light and a distinctive feel, the surrounding 77+ neighborhoods of the Windy City are going to have what you need. Logan Square, Chinatown, and Lincoln Park all have a vibe that's ideal for the right project. Whether you want spray paint, grit, and classic cars or ethnic food and historic architecture as an editorial backdrop, you're sure to find it in Chicago.
