Jon Lowenstein has been a photographer for more than ten years, and is based in Chicago. He specializes in long-term in-depth documentary photographic projects that question the status quo, and believes strongly in documentary photojournalism’s ability to help effect social change. Most of all, Jon loves people and he loves photography.

Both of these images are from one of Jon's projects: Chicago Funk - The energy and feel of Chicago. This series is a photographic exploration of Chicago , arguably one of the most archetypical American cities.
