  • Johnston Lions Club 6501 Merle Hay Road Johnston, IA, 50131 (map)

Join Angie McMonigal as she discusses techniques for creating more dynamic architectural images focused on detailed and abstract interpretations. She'll share examples from various cities throughout the US and Europe, emphasizing compositional techniques to make your images stronger. 

About Angie:
Angie is a fine art and commercial architecture photographer based in Chicago, striving to bring a detailed, thoughtful perspective to her work, whether for clients or through the workshops she leads. Having grown up surrounded by nature yet fascinated by the big city she's called home for more than two decades, she brings the meditative calm of her upbringing to a terrain that’s always transforming. Drawing from her education in the microsciences (molecular biology, microbiology, virology) her focus is more frequently on bold architectural details rather than sweeping cityscapes, creating images that celebrate those unexpectedly iconic elements hiding in plain sight. 

She frequently works with art consultants, designers, brands, architectural firms, and private collectors, creating images that draw out the organic interplay between design, structure, environment, and society.

Publication credits include Chicago Magazine, National Geographic, New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Architectural Digest. Exhibitions by galleries in Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Barcelona, and other destinations.
