Chicago Creative Series: Zoe Rain
A few years ago, Zoe Rain was handed a camera & told to take photos at an early Macklemore concert in her native Seattle, Washington. While she was pushed into it, Zoe fell in love with the craft of photography, and continues to share that love on a daily basis.
Last year, Zoe moved to Chicago and found a home within the artistic community in the Windy City. Last month, Zoe became the first photographer to be featured in our Chicago Creative series presented by PAX. She displayed her photos at our pop-up gallery, and let us into her creative space in this new vignette by Andrew Zeiter.
Follow us and get to know the emerging photographer.
