Corporate photography at Woodfield Corporate Center

Two Class A buildings at the Woodfield interchange, and the address more Schaumburg teams give than any other. The daylight on these floor plates beats a downtown tower, so the room does more of the work than the lights do.

Woodfield Corporate Center is the pair of Class A buildings at 425 and 475 North Martingale Road, a little over seven hundred thousand square feet between them, sitting at the full I-290 and Higgins Road interchange immediately south of Woodfield Mall. It is the core of what locals call the Golden Corridor, the I-90 business belt that makes Schaumburg the largest office market in suburban Chicago. The mall and the Streets of Woodfield next door carry more than three hundred retailers, which is why the buildings market themselves on amenity as much as on address.

The tenant base, as the leasing agents describe it, runs across technology and telecommunications, insurance, logistics and transportation, and manufacturing. That is a wider mix than most single-purpose corporate campuses, and it means a program here can involve two or three unrelated companies sharing one production day.

The practical side is straightforward. Structured parking, a proper loading route, and floor plates large enough that most tenants have a conference room with a window wall. The daylight in these buildings is better than in most downtown floors, which changes how the portraits are lit and usually for the better. The interchange location means a team driving in from Hoffman Estates, Rolling Meadows or Elk Grove is fifteen minutes away rather than an hour.

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 Woodfield Corporate Center

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

Loading and parking

Structured parking and a loading route sized for a corporate building. The full setup moves in one trip on a cart, and we confirm the dock and elevator arrangements with your office manager the week before.

What the room has to be

A conference room of roughly eight by ten feet with a power outlet is all it takes. Most floors here have a room with a window wall, and we would rather use that than a windowless interior one.

Light

The suburban floor plates give better daylight than a downtown tower. We still bring the studio light, but the room itself does more of the work, and the portraits are warmer for it.

Schedule

Forty to sixty people fit a normal day here without anyone feeling hurried. A longer list splits across the two buildings or across two dates, and the setup and the standard are held identical on each.

Outdoors

The landscaped grounds and the mall district give an environmental option for leadership portraits in the better months, if the brief wants something other than a backdrop.

Woodfield Corporate Center questions

What teams in this office park usually ask first.

Can you photograph teams in both buildings on the same day?
Yes. The two buildings sit beside each other, so a program across both is one booking, one setup and one finished standard rather than two separate sittings.
How far ahead should we book?
Three to four weeks is comfortable for most dates. If a trip to the Golden Corridor is already on the calendar, sooner is often possible, and you will have an answer within one business day.
Can you match headshots made for our other offices?
That is the main argument for keeping one photographer across a company. We work from the portraits you already have. The Schaumburg sitting copies their key light angle and their background tone and cuts to the same crop, so the two offices do not read as two businesses.
Can you film as well as photograph here?
Yes. Brand films, recruiting pieces and executive interviews can share the visit, and the same day leaves you with stills as well as footage.

Your team is in Woodfield Corporate Center?

Tell me the headcount, the floor and the dates. A proposal follows a short conversation, and questions are answered within one business day.
