Bode Helm Photographer louie ABellerA Photographer Credentials: Chicago- based editorial and wedding photographer Louie Abellera has traveled all around the world, photographing weddings in destinations like Scotland, Italy, and Hawaii. Behind the story: "I was amazed at all the really great cookbooks Julie ["Staying Strong," page 132] had in her home, and I wanted to incorpo- rate one in our shoot." His inspiration: "The people I'm photographing and the story they have to tell. Getting to know the people I'm photographing before I even turn my camera on is key." Chicago favorite: "The frozen Negroni at Parson's Chicken & Fish might be my all-time favorite drink, and their fried chicken is no slouch, either." Dream destination: "Morocco. The different colors, textures, and landscapes of the country are so unique and make it a dream for travel photography." Credentials: Since acting as Bill Clinton's personal photographer during his presidency, Bode Helm has received accolades for his work in the fashion world. A contributor to publica- tions like Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Elle, he has also worked with celebrities including Drew Barrymore, Chuck Norris, and LeAnn Rimes. Behind the story: "Tika ["First Lady," page 70] felt like an old friend—we instantly connected," Helm says of the starlet, with whom he bonded over ice cream. Chicago favorite: "I love a good old Chicago hot dog from Downtown Dogs." When in the Windy City: "I always have to visit Pippin's Tavern. It's one of my favorite dive bars!
