Trope City Edition is a new collection of urban and architectural photography books of cities around the world by today’s emerging and independent photographers.

Trope Chicago, the first in the series, is comprised of 206 images produced by 27 independent photographers from Chicago and beyond.

This carefully curated and bound collection is divided into eight chapters, primarily focused on the lakefront and downtown areas that showcase iconic buildings, streets and parks. Each chapter is accompanied by a map of the area along with the locations where the photographs were taken.

The collection is first and foremost about photography; images reflect the interests of the photographers rather than serving as a comprehensive guide to the city. With its magnificent skyline, public art, and unparalleled lakefront, Chicago is one of the most photographed cities in the world. Coupled with the infamous Chicago weather – ever-changing, unexpected, unrepentant – the city makes for a spectacular collection of images.
