Corporate photography at Accenture Tower

Accenture Tower is the 42 story, 588 foot building at 500 West Madison Street in the West Loop, and it sits directly atop Ogilvie Transportation Center, the Metra terminal that brings commuters in from the western and northern suburbs. It took the Accenture name on July 10, 2019. The transit position is the defining practical fact about working here. People who commute by train walk up into the building rather than across the Loop from another station, which makes early morning slots realistic in a way they are not in most downtown towers, and it makes a suburban colleague coming in for the day a short ride instead of a drive.

Accenture keeps its Chicago office in the tower that carries its name, which sets the tone for the building as a professional services address. Beyond that the tenancy is the multi tenant mix a Class A West Loop tower holds rather than one company's campus, so a program here can involve more than one organization on different floors. The consulting and professional services register tends to want portraits that read current and consistent across a large headcount.

The Metra terminal below is the thing to schedule around. An early start catches people as they arrive, before the first meeting block takes the day, and it means a colleague riding in from the suburbs can be photographed and back at a desk by mid morning. Confirm dock hours, certificate of insurance requirements and freight access with building management the week before, since a building over an active rail terminal has its own service routing. The kit moves on one cart to a conference room on your floor.

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.
