Scott Council was commissioned by Chicago Magazine this past fall to photograph American actor & musician Michael Shannon. The shoot took place in New York City to celebrate the Fall Preview in Chicago which is filled with music, theater and arts. Because that’s where Michael began his career, he was a perfect fit for the cover story. According to Scott, “the trick was to find a way to bring out his personality and still keep to theme. He did a great job and was a pleasure to work with.”
Scott Council is a editorial and advertising photographer based out of Los Angeles. More of his work can be seen at scottcouncil.com.
