John Sisson Photography

Chicago, IL, USA
I'm a dual career professional working in the incredibly rich cultural and creative environment of Chicago, IL USA.

As a documentary and editorial photographer, I specialize in journalistic documentation of stage, theater, dance, and live performance. I help theaters, filmmakers, performing artists, arts organizations, and cultural institutions to tell the story of the amazing work they do by creating compelling images for marketing and editorial use.

I also work as an advisor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Career Center, where I help students and alumni with preparation for careers in Art and Design. I assist them with the development of employment, networking, and entrepreneurial skills needed to be successful in the creative world through individual advising, events, and workshops.
