After graduating from Columbia College Chicago in 2003, I pursued my dream of becoming a professional photographer.  I have had the privilege of working as a freelance and staff photographer in the Detroit, New York, and Chicago markets.  I currently live in Chicago with my wife and two children.  My clients include Northwestern University, the University of Chicago, Loyola University Chicago, Heitman, United Technologies Inc., Exxon/Mobil, PR Newswire, and others.  My works have appeared in the NY Times, Washington Post, NY Magazine, USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, and other nationally recognized publications.  I am a regular contributor to The University of Chicago and other nationally recognized editorial and corporate clients.  I can be reached at (312) 320-9446, or joel@joelwintermantle.com.
