500, 510, 520 and 540 Lake Cook Road, Deerfield, IL

Corporate photography at Corporate 500 Centre

Four buildings on Lake Cook Road, a minute's walk from the Metra platform, and one of the North Shore's standing headquarters addresses. If your team is in one of them, this is how a session here runs.

Corporate 500 Centre is four office buildings on Lake Cook Road in Deerfield holding 697,673 square feet between them. The buildings at 500 and 510 run four stories; those at 520 and 540 run six. What sets the property apart on the North Shore is access. It stands one minute's walk from the Lake Cook Road Metra station and the bus station beside it, and only a few miles from both I-294 and I-94, so staff can reach it by train from the city and by car from anywhere in Lake or north Cook County. That commuter reach is part of why the address has drawn corporate headquarters rather than only branch offices.

The property has housed the corporate headquarters of Fortune Brands, and the North American headquarters of Beam Suntory and of Horizon Pharma. Those come from the property's leasing history rather than a statement about who is in the buildings today. Tenancy on Lake Cook Road turns over as companies grow and consolidate. If your team is in one of the four buildings now, the session happens inside your own suite.

The Metra platform a minute away changes how a day can be scheduled. Staff who commute by train arrive on a timetable, so appointment slots can be built around the inbound trains rather than assuming everyone is at their desk by nine. Four and six story buildings mean short elevator rides and a schedule that holds. A conference room of about eight by ten feet with a power outlet is enough, and we confirm loading, freight elevator times and the certificate of insurance with your office manager the week before the visit.

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 Corporate 500 Centre, Deerfield

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

Build around the trains

The Metra station is a minute away and a good share of the staff arrive on it. We can start slots after a specific inbound train so nobody is booked before they are in the building.

Which address

The four buildings run 500 through 540 and are not interchangeable. Give us the number and the floor so load in goes to the right lobby.

The room

About eight by ten feet with one power outlet. Four and six story plates here usually have a conference room with an outside wall available for a day.

Leadership separately

Executive portraits usually want more time than a staff slot allows. We book those either side of the main block, in the same room and with the same look.

Short elevator rides

Nothing here is taller than six floors, so the queue problem that taller buildings create does not arise. Appointments run closer together as a result.

Video on the same visit

Brand film, recruiting pieces and executive interviews can share the day. Filming at 4K means one visit yields a still library alongside the footage.

Corporate 500 Centre, Deerfield questions

What teams in this building usually ask first.

Can you photograph teams in more than one of the four buildings?
Yes. They sit together on one property, so a program across them runs as a single booking with one setup standard, and we move the equipment rather than the people where that is faster.
Is there a way to include people who commute by train?
Yes, and it is worth planning for. The station is a minute's walk away, so we build the slot list around inbound arrivals instead of assuming a nine o'clock start.
How much space do you need?
A conference room of roughly eight by ten feet with one power outlet. Higher ceilings help the lighting, and a window is welcome but not required.
How far ahead should we book?
Two to three weeks for a guaranteed date. Send the building number and headcount and you will have a reply within one business day.
Can you match headshots from our other offices?
Yes. Send the existing set and we match lighting, framing and finish so the Deerfield team sits beside the rest of the company cleanly.

Your team is in Corporate 500 Centre, Deerfield?
