Leica DLux7

If there’s one theme that has appeared consistently throughout my years as a photographer, it’s my fascination with hallways and big, open halls. There’s something captivating about the way light and shadow interact in these vast spaces, creating moods and stories all their own. I love how a well-lit hallway can feel endless, while a darker one can evoke a sense of mystery and depth.

For me, capturing these moments is even more enjoyable thanks to my Leica camera, which allows me to truly embrace the textures, lines, and contrasts that make these spaces come alive. There’s a thrill in framing the light spilling into the darkness or the subtle shift of shadows stretching across a hall.

Below are a few images from McCormick Place in Chicago, taken during the summer of 2024. The halls here offer a perfect blend of openness and contrast, making them a photographer’s dream.

As always, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What do you see in these spaces? What feelings or stories do they evoke for you?
