Perspective Gallery’s December offering features two fine art photographers who approach the urban world from radically different viewpoints.

Steve Geer presents Skyscraper Magic, a group of architectural images that show Chicago’s skyscrapers from unusual and thought-provoking kaleidoscopic worms-eye viewpoints. Having seen these images, when you’re next in the city you will want to look up and imagine.

Kurt Kramer captures the intimate and beautiful environs that we pass through daily. He presents photographs of these scenes, and the people in them, in his exhibit “All Around Us”. Through careful selection of viewpoint, timing, and light he creates visually striking compositions that showcase the often-overlooked beauty. Punctuating each photograph with a human presence, he captures the perfect moment when a person’s location, movements, and gestures add interest and meaning. The exhibit includes color and black-and-white images captured in Chicago in the last 18 months. With his photographs, Kurt encourages viewers to observe the beauty and humanity that are … all around us.
