Welcome to Showcase Chicago, brought to you by Production Paradise. This issue features some of the leading photographers, directors and photographers' and illustrators' agents based in Chicago.

More creative professionals and facilities for photographic and film production are available in our Chicago Photo and Film directories.

Be sure to catch our recommended events:

  • Refracting Histories features eight artists looking critically at the traditional canon within the history of photography. Each artist challenges, probes, or deconstructs well-known art historical legacies, revealing the contributions of overlooked makers. Until 3rd April at Chicago's Museum of Comtemporary Photography.
  • A Field Guide to Photography and Media - From 19th November to 10th April. The Art Institute of Chicago has been exhibiting photography since 1900 and collecting it since 1949. This exhibition celebrates that remarkable history through the Art Institute’s collection and offers an occasion to think anew about the photography’s place in the museum and in the world.
