I had the privilege of working as the hired photographer of the Chicago Auto Show this year. The creative team at the Chicago Auto Trade Commission was looking for a different approach to covering the event, one that focused on telling the story of the show and not just images of the cars. I was glad to help realize that vision. Check out highlights from the show below, which features images from the First Look for Charity, Opening Day, and Friday Night Flights, which showcased several Chicagoland breweries.
“We wanted a photographer to tell the story of our large-scale event through photos and Brad over-delivered. Not only were the photos more than what we were looking for to showcase all the elements of our show, but Brad was incredible to work with. He was professional, positive, reliable, and timely in delivering quality photos. Capturing the mass scale of our event was not an easy task, but Brad showcased his talents through images of people, activations, movement, vehicles, and was able to highlight the entire vibe of our show. We also used Brad to capture staff portraits on the show floor, and he once again did so with patience and encouragement to bring out everyone’s personality. The entire Chicago Auto Show management staff was happy to have Brad as an extension of our team, and plan to have him back again next year!”
