After buying a vintage Cadillac in
California and driving it home to
Toronto in 2006, Shax fell in love
with the urban and rural landscapes
of America. After his first exhibition
entitled NYC in CONTACT 2008, Shax
decided to take on Chicago in his next
photographic exploration of the United
States. He is a self-proclaimed fan of
chromatic aberration, saturation and
grain, applying his favourite digital and
film characteristics into his images.
