Corporate photography at BMO Tower
Fifty one floors at 320 South Canal Street, beside Union Station, completed in 2022. If your team is in this building, this is how a session here runs.
BMO Tower rises fifty one floors at 320 South Canal Street, on the west bank of the river immediately beside Union Station. It was completed in 2022, which makes it one of the newest large office buildings downtown, and it was built with BMO as its anchor. In 2024 Molson Coors moved its global headquarters here from 250 South Wacker Drive on a long term lease that began that summer, and the building now carries two well known names rather than one. The address sits in the West Loop commuter core, so a team arriving by rail walks over from the station concourse instead of crossing the Loop, and a photographer arriving from out of town can do the same.
BMO anchors the building and gives it its name. Molson Coors relocated its global headquarters here from 250 South Wacker Drive under a long term lease beginning in the summer of 2024. Both are large organizations with communications and marketing groups of their own, which usually means a house brand standard already exists and a portrait program is asked to match it rather than to define it. If your team is in this building, that existing standard is where we start.
A session here happens on your own floor. A conference room of roughly eight by ten feet with one power outlet is enough, and the full lighting kit moves in on a single cart. A building finished in 2022 will have a modern freight elevator and a managed dock, but the rules are particular to each property, so confirm dock hours, freight elevator booking and any certificate of insurance requirement with building management once the date is set. Tell us the floor and the room number and we handle the rest of the arrival.
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.






Sample work, photographed at other clients' offices rather than in this building. It is the standard a session here would be held to.
Johnson + Krol, a Chicago labor firm, and IWR North America, which lists a Chicago satellite office, are both clients.

Working in BMO Tower
The practical side of a shoot in this building, so the day runs on schedule.
Loading and access
Union Station next door keeps the walk in short, but a tower of this size runs a booked dock and freight elevator. Confirm the hours and the insurance paperwork with building management the week before, and give us the name of the person meeting us in the lobby.
The room
One conference room of about eight by ten feet with a power outlet. A room with a window wall is preferred over a windowless interior one, and on a floor in a 2022 building there is usually a choice.
Light
Upper floors on this side of the river get open western light. We bring the full studio lighting either way, so the schedule does not depend on the weather or the time of day.
Schedule
Forty to sixty people in a normal day without anyone feeling rushed. Larger groups run over two days with the same setup and the same standard on each, so the final set matches end to end.
Matching an existing set
Two anchor names in one building usually means two established brand standards. Send the existing portraits and we match the lighting, crop and finish so new hires sit beside everyone else.
Video on the same visit
Executive interviews, recruiting pieces and brand film can share the day. Filming at 4K means the same visit hands back a still library alongside the finished film.
What we make for BMO Tower teams
A headshot program is usually the first project. It is rarely the only one, and the same photographer handles the rest.
Corporate headshot programs
Whole teams photographed in one or two days, to one standard that holds as people join and leave.
Learn MoreExecutive portraits
Leadership portraits with the weight the business expects, for annual reports, press and the board page.
Learn MoreBrand films and campaign video
Directed, filmed and edited by one person, from the first scope conversation through final delivery.
Learn MoreRecruiting and employer brand
Culture photography and video made in the building people would actually work in, for careers pages and hiring campaigns.
Learn MoreCommercial and facility photography
A marketing team's image library for the year, so the next campaign does not start with a stock search.
Learn MoreConference and event coverage
Sessions, keynotes, booths and headshot stations, photographed and filmed in the same visit.
Learn MoreMost of this work is booked together. A team that needs headshots usually also needs the recruiting film, the facility library and the conference coverage, and running it through one person is what keeps the whole set looking like it came from one company.
