About the Author
The career of Chicago-based photographer Bob Stefko spans almost 25 years in both editorial and commercial work. During that time he has photographed a diverse range of subjects including many of this country’s finest gardens, Fortune 500 CEOs, Olympic athletes, and some of the world’s most remote landscapes.
His work has appeared in hundreds of publications including Better Homes and Gardens, Forbes, Wine Spectator, and Midwest Living magazine, to name a few. Bob has completed two books on travel and food for Globe Pequot and Meredith Corporation and has received both Gold and Silver Media Awards from GardenComm.
When not snapping pictures you can usually find him living his secret life as a general contractor, being an urban gardener, wannabe chef, tinkering in his basement shop, hunting down mid-century modern treasures, or cycling the early mornings away on Lake Michigan. Bob and his wife Shelby live in their personally renovated two-flat building in the Rogers Park neighborhood of Chicago.
