As a student at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, I've seen this staircase numerous times. One day, I finally decided to photograph it; being at the right place at the right time, an information desk lady agreed to model for the shot while the staircase is closed to the public due to installation of a new exhibition upstairs.

Edward Chao is a Taiwanese Canadian artist based in Chicago, recently graduated from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (SAIC) with emphasis on photography and film/video. He has always been intrigued by architecture since childhood, reading books and collecting newspaper articles on the world-breaking height of skyscrapers. Being naturally drawn to lines and geometrical patterns, his fascination for architectural photography began to increase. He became highly impacted by the deadpan concept; an objective, detached, and technically masterful style of photography that is rich in visual information. His work often incorporates the history of architecture and design philosophies as concepts, while striving for a minimalistic and monochromatic aesthetic.
