Born and raised on the south side of Chicago, David Sowa is a photographer who originally studied architectural design, starting his career designing and building homes. It wasn’t until after the great recession that he turned to photography as an alternative career path. The career transition changed how David views the world and helps him find beauty in everyday life. Chicago's unique charm, characterized by its rich history and ever-evolving urban landscape, has provided David with an inexhaustible source of inspiration. His photographs often reveal a deep appreciation for structure, geometry, and the interplay of light and shadow.
