Published by Harry N. Abrams in 2005, “Revealing Chicago: An Aerial Portrait” presents a stunning visual narrative of one of the world’s great metropolitan regions. Renowned landscape photographer Terry Evans captures the city and its vast hinterlands from the unique vantage point of the sky, using airplanes, helicopters, and balloons. The 120-plus large-format color photographs reveal the intricate relationship between Chicago’s iconic architecture, diverse urban neighborhoods, and the industrial and agricultural landscapes that sustain it. Featuring thoughtful text by Charles Wheelan, the book serves as both an aesthetic tour de force and a critical look at the environmental and social challenges facing the region as it continues to grow in the 21st century.
