Scott Conwell's User Profile

Scott Conwell

I am an architect and hobbyist photographer living in Chicago and frequently on the road. I use photography to discover and document beauty in the built environment. I have a particular interest in the design and construction of masonry and concrete buildings and their presence in their surroundings. Looking beyond the obvious, my goal is to capture the details in the urban streets, structures, and spaces of our world.
