Cover Shot for Planted Magazine

Planted Magazine wanted to do a story on the iconic restaurant Soul Veg City and contacted me for photographic coverage. They needed some portraits, food photos, and candids to accompany the story as well as a cover photo. Soul Veg City was remodeling and about to launch their new and improved space and the editors of the magazine wanted to showcase that. It was an absolute pleasure to work with the owners and capture some great portraits of them. Soul Veg City is one of Chicago’s oldest plant-based restaurants. After 40 years in their Chatham location, the next generation did an entire remodel and refresh. They launched the new restaurant in the summer of 2021, and I highly recommend their amazing buffet.

Magazine Assignments

Photographers working on magazine assignments have the exciting opportunity to showcase their skills and creativity in a dynamic and ever-changing industry. Magazine assignments can range from capturing environmental portraits to documenting important events and everything in between. These assignments often require photographers to work closely with editors, stylists, and models to bring the vision of the magazine to life. It's a fast-paced and challenging field, but one that offers immense satisfaction and the chance to have your work seen by a wide audience.
