Corporate photography at 110 North Wacker

Fifty seven floors on the river, opened in 2020 and the tallest office tower built in Chicago since 1990. If your team is in this building, this is how a session here runs.

110 North Wacker, also known as the Bank of America Tower, is the 57 floor building on the river at 110 North Wacker Drive in the Loop. It opened on October 14, 2020, and it is the tallest office tower built in Chicago since 1990, which makes it one of the newest large floor plate addresses downtown. A building of this generation is the easy case for a session: the conference rooms are current, the glass is generous, and the service arrangements were designed for tenants moving in and out rather than retrofitted into an older frame. The river frontage gives the upper floors a view worth planning a few frames around.

Bank of America anchors the building and lends it the name it is often given. Around that anchor the tower holds the multi tenant mix a new Class A Loop building attracts rather than a single company's campus, so a session here can serve more than one organization on separate floors. A finance anchored roster usually wants portraits on the conservative end, and that is a lighting and wardrobe decision worth settling before the date.

A 2020 building makes most of this simple. Conference rooms tend to be well proportioned with real glass, and the service procedures are clear and recently written. Confirm dock hours, certificate of insurance requirements and freight access with building management the week before, because a newer tower is usually stricter about paperwork rather than looser. Book a room on your own floor, ideally one facing the river, and we will meter the glass on arrival before balancing the studio light to it. The kit moves up in one cart trip.

We photograph on site, in your own office. If your team is in this building, the notes below are what the day looks like. Nothing here is a claim to a past session in it, and no tenant named is a client unless it says so elsewhere on this site.

Working in 110 North Wacker

The practical side of a shoot in this building, so the day runs on schedule.

A new building is the easy case

Conference rooms in a 2020 tower are usually well proportioned with a real window wall, which is the room we want. Tell us what is bookable on your floor and we will pick from the list.

River light

River facing glass moves with the day and with the weather off the water. We meter the room on arrival and balance the studio light to what is actually there, so the first portrait and the last one match.

Paperwork first

Newer towers run tighter on access. Confirm the dock window, the certificate of insurance and the freight elevator with building management the week before, and put names on the desk list ahead of the morning.

The view frames

Upper floors on this stretch of Wacker look down the river. It is worth three or four leadership frames on a clear day, planned as an addition to the seated portraits rather than as a replacement for them.

Schedule

A typical day covers forty to sixty people without rushing anyone. Where two tenants in the building both want a session, it runs as one booking with one setup standard across both floors.

Video on the same visit

Executive interviews and brand film can share the visit, and the river windows give a background worth using. Filming at 4K means the same day yields a still library as well.

110 North Wacker questions

What teams in this building usually ask first.

Is a river facing room better than an interior one?
Usually, because the glass gives a background with depth and a soft fill to work with. The full studio setup covers an interior room just as well, so book whichever room you can hold for the whole session.
Can you photograph two tenants here on the same day?
Yes. Separate floors, one setup, one standard. Each company gets its own schedule and its own gallery.
What does building management need?
A dock window, a freight elevator time and usually a certificate of insurance. Ask your office manager for the contact and we will send what is needed.
Can you match headshots made for our other offices?
Yes, and it is the reason to use one photographer across locations. Send the existing set and we match the lighting, framing and finish so the Chicago team sits beside the rest without reading as a different company.
How far ahead should we book?
Two to three weeks for a guaranteed date. Send the date you have in mind and you will have an answer within one business day.
