Eight Bar Outdoor Cafe:

On a clear autumn day in Chicago we photographed the Eight Bar outdoor café at the Urban Outfitters building. The low-angle sunlight and changing leaves gave the scene warm, textured tones that complemented the café’s contemporary industrial design. We focused on clean compositions that highlight the relationship between the café seating, the building’s brick and metal details, and the surrounding streetscape.

Key images include wide environmental shots showing the café within the Urban Outfitters Building, to highlight the landmark making it easy to identify from the street. Natural light was the primary source, with subtle fill to preserve shadow detail without flattening the scene.

The photographs were used in two magazine advertisements and were featured on the Eight Bar Outdoor Cafe website, throughout the season, helping to communicate a welcoming, autumnal atmosphere that aligned with their subtle branding.
