Trope Chicago: Beyond the Loop, the eighth volume in the Trope City Editions series, celebrates the architecture, public artwork, and everyday beauty of Chicago. The collection highlights the photographic images of a group of talented photographers from Chicago and beyond who showcase the city in a new and exciting light.

This carefully curated and bound collection of over 200 previously unpublished photographs offers a new perspective on Chicago. Each chapter is accompanied by a map, along with the locations where the photos were taken. Going beyond the typical tourist attractions, Trope Chicago: Beyond the Loop shows what the "real" Chicago looks and feels like. Including photographs from all corners of the city, including Logan Square, Uptown, Hyde Park, Bronzeville, Streeterville, and Lincoln Park, these images command a strong point of view: digitally processed, filtered, toned, de-saturated, sharpened, for a very urban sensibility. Showcasing both the architectural significance and everyday beauty of contemporary Chicago, the images reveal distinctive and dramatic visions of one of the world's greatest cities.
