For those of you who may not be so familiar with the international professional soccer scene…Mr. Bakary Soumare, is a Malian born professional soccer player, who played as a defender for the Chicago Fire during the 2008 and 2009 seasons and currently plays in Europe for the US Boulogne in France’s Ligue 1.
Bakary called me the other day and was wondering whether I would photograph his condominium that has been in the making for the past year in Chicago’s Wicker Park area. My eyes started clicking as he described it to me and his dwelling turned out be a very slick, functional space with a very contemporary design. Despite the rain and dreary looking conditions outside, representative of the rainy spring we have had this year in Chicago, the space shows very nicely and the rooftop terrace is absolutely phenomenal. A very nice place for a very nice person.
So without further ado, here is a multimedia show from the shoot, stills are below. Enjoy.

Nice shots of a beautiful apartment! Great video presentation as well.
Thank you kindly Courtney. It was a very nice place belonging to a very nice young man who has a gift from heavens in navigating a ball on a large field and good taste on top of it.
Wow! What beautiful work, both the photographs as well as video presentation. Looks like a unique space well captured.
Awesome work, love the shots and the video presentation, first class work. You are the best. Thanks so much!!
It was my pleasure Baky, thank you much. I look forward to meeting you on the squash court.
Thank you Tara. Yes indeed, it was a very nice living space. Very comfortable to move around… and I am certain to live in.
