Artist and UX Designer Giovanni Ulloa

Giovanni is a talented painter and ux designer from North Carolina. He traveled to Chicago for work and wanted some natural lifestyle portraits during his visit. The day we chose ended up being one of the coldest days of the year (so far) so we tried to find some indoor spots. We chose Gaslight Coffee Roasters in Wicker Park because of their exposed brick and natural light. Also, because of the coffee! Then we went to Reckless Records which is also on Milwaukee Avenue in Wicker Park. I haven’t been to too many record stores in the city, but so far this one has the largest selection! Of course by the time we got there they were all out of Bowie, but they had pretty much everything else you could think of.

Indoor locations are so hard to come by in the winter without paying a fee to use the space. What are your favorite spots when the freezing temps come back around?
