Touching the sky
Behind the Camera - Touching the Sky
It was still dark when I quietly stepped outside with my camera while the city slept. We were on a family trip in Chicago, and while my parents questioned why I was up so early—chasing what they called “a random building”—I saw something else: stillness, symmetry, and mystery.
I took Touching the Sky in the early morning, just as dense fog swallowed the skyline. The top of the skyscraper seemed to dissolve into the clouds, blurring the boundary between architecture and atmosphere. There was no wind, no sound—just me and the rising structure, disappearing into a dream.
This isn’t a drone photo—it’s a carefully composed frame, grounded and personal. I chose a minimalist treatment and a narrow color palette to highlight the cool tones, the play between glass and light, and the surreal feeling of being suspended between earth and sky.
Now, years later, my family sees why I stopped that morning. This image is more than a building—it’s a moment of quiet obsession turned into art.
This piece is offered as a limited edition of just 5 prints, available in two exclusive sizes, and printed on your choice of two museum-quality materials:
Hahnemühle Photo Rag Satin, a fine art paper with subtle depth and rich texture.
Artist-grade Aluminum Dibond, perfect for enhancing the character of the piece.

Wall mounting included, ready to hang. (Except for paper prints)
All images used are for illustrative purposes only. Individual features such as sizes, fittings and other materials’ colours may vary.
