Corporate photography at Woodfield Corporate Center

Two Class A buildings at the Woodfield interchange, and the address more Schaumburg teams give than any other. If yours is one of them, this is how a session here runs.

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.

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 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.

The room

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

A typical day covers forty to sixty people without rushing anyone. Larger programs run across both buildings or across two days, with the same setup and the same standard 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.

Video on the same visit

Filming at 4K means one production day hands back a still library alongside the film. For a team that needs both, sharing the visit is usually the better value.

Woodfield Corporate Center questions

What teams in this building usually ask first.

Can you photograph teams in both buildings on the same day?
Yes. The two buildings sit beside each other and a program across both runs as one booking with one setup and one standard, which is the point of using one photographer.
Do we need to book a room or a lobby?
A conference room on your own floor is enough. We do not need the lobby, although it is worth asking building management if the brief calls for something more architectural.
How far ahead should we book?
Two to three weeks for a guaranteed date. If a trip to the Golden Corridor is already on the calendar, sooner is often possible.
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 Schaumburg team sits beside the rest without reading as a different company.
Can you film as well as photograph here?
Yes. Brand films, recruiting pieces and executive interviews can share the visit, and filming at 4K means the same day yields a still library as well.
