Chicago Churches: A Photographic Essay

The first book from twenty-four-year-old photographer and designer Elizabeth Johnson, Chicago Churches: A Photographic Essay, is an insightful look at the church, not just as architecture but as a reflection of the cultural individuality within a city and, more importantly, the universality of faith.Captured through the city's change of seasons, these photographs of 100 Chicago-area houses of worship display an intriguing cross section of religious and cultural groups and the communities they represent. Through the sometimes poignantly editorial and often classically simple photographs, Elizabeth portrays Chicago's diversity with eloquence and heart.A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this book will be donated to Chicago charitable and community organizations.
