Hey all,

I'm coming to Chicago next week to do some shooting (and some playing while I'm there as well).  I'm staying downtown and one of my shoots is with a gal that wants to do some sexy (not nude) outdoor stuff around downtown.  (we'll do the nude stuff indoors).  I know it's off topic, but you guys look at a lot of photography shot around your town so I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask.

Thanks,

wood.

The first to come to mind would be the "Skydeck" at the Willis Tower,
Millenium Park, any of the bridges crossing many of our rivers, in front of Wriggley Field, on a boat tour...

I am sure a lot depends on the kind of "sexy" you and the lady are going for, but here are my suggestions:

1) Daley Bicentennial Plaza - lots of benches and concrete walls and ledges to allow for various poses.  The area is not too busy, and there are usually open park benches available.  There is also a rather secluded cancer survivor’s garden just to the east of the Plaza that may offer some inspiration.

2) Art Institute garden on the corner of Michigan and Jackson.  A little more congested, but it should be quiet if you do not sync with the lunchtime crowds.  

3) If you are looking for sand there is 12th Street (Roosevelt) beach, or there is Olive beach just north of Navy Pier.  

4) If you are looking for a back alley trashy type composition... any alley in the loop will be a good choice.  Not many women use the alleys, so you may attract a few horny guys depending on how sexy the photo shoot gets.  

If you need help with a lighting reflector or crowd control, feel free to call on me!  

I hope this helps.

Hot lady dressed sexy in a dirty alley downtown.  Also near a train track or building that is tagged with graffiti.

Just two suggestions.  I am sure others wll give you suggestions concern other places that are more tradtional.

Some other locations that say Chicago are:

Buckingham Fountain, the lions at the Art Institute, the columns ar the Field Museum, in front of the Weigley Building and the Tribune Tower across the street., the skyline seen from the Shed Aquarium.

You, me, a camera, 2 F*ck Me Boots, 1 saxophone and a half a doo rag in the alley next to a Blues Club.

ZEXY!!!

Leave it to Sin to be sinfully creative. You bring a new, kinky perspective.

Alternatively, you could do a hot lady dressed sexy tagged in a dirty alley downtown!  

Thanks so much.  Lots of great ideas here to get me started...

HA!  Deal.

the Morton Arboretum is beautiful and if the colors are changing it is really wonderful.
Lincoln park they have that great Conservatory which is a Victorian Glass house built in the mid 1800's or in Garfield Park another great conservatory.
Just in Lincoln Park you could take some great shots! best part its free to get in.
