Corporate photography at 1111 Main
Thirty eight stories at the northeast corner of Twelfth and Main, rebranded from Town Pavilion, with a sky bridge over Walnut to 1201 Walnut. Floors here are still being fitted out, so which one is finished gets confirmed before the date.
1111 Main is the tower long known as Town Pavilion, thirty eight stories and 802,071 square feet at the northeast corner of Twelfth and Main. It was completed in 1986 and is the second tallest building in Kansas City and the third tallest in Missouri. A sky bridge crosses Walnut Street to 1201 Walnut next door, so the floors of two towers connect without anyone going outside. The building sits in the Class A core on Main inside the Downtown Loop, a block from the Power and Light District and a short walk from the Crossroads.
On public record the building holds Bank Midwest, the FDIC and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. HNTB is moving its national headquarters here from 715 Kirk Drive in a phased relocation, with one floor completed in January 2026 and the remainder targeted for the middle of 2026. That mix of a national engineering headquarters, a bank and two regulatory bodies gives the tower a wider range of brand standards than most single industry buildings.
A tower in transition takes a little more confirming than a settled one. Floors are being fitted out, so we check the floor, the freight elevator and the dock hours with your office manager the week before rather than assuming last year's arrangement still holds. Names go to the security desk in advance. On the floor, a conference room of roughly ten feet by eight with an outlet is enough, and the sky bridge makes a program that spans this building and 1201 Walnut a single indoor day.
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.

Working in 1111 Main (Town Pavilion)
The practical side of a shoot in this building, so the day runs on schedule.
Names to the desk
Give the security desk the crew names and the arrival window before the day. A tower this size does not improvise a visitor list, and an unannounced crew spends the first half hour in the lobby.
Freight and loading
The freight elevator and the dock hours get confirmed with building management or your office manager the week before. Everything moves up in one trip on a cart.
Fit out in progress
Floors here are still being finished and occupied. We ask which floor is ready and which is not, because a half built floor is a noisy neighbor for an interview recording.
One room, all day
A conference room of about eighty square feet with one power outlet. Ask for a room on the outside wall, and on these floors there are plenty to choose from.
Across the sky bridge
Teams in this building and in 1201 Walnut can share a production day without anyone going outside, which is the practical argument for scheduling them together.
One visit, two deliverables
A brand film or an executive interview records alongside the portraits rather than on a second date. The floor is disturbed once and the day returns both a cut and a still library.
What we make for 1111 Main 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.
See headshot programsExecutive portraits
Leadership portraits with the weight the business expects, for annual reports, press and the board page.

Directed, filmed and edited by one person, from the first scope conversation through final delivery.

Culture photography and video made in the building people would actually work in, for careers pages and hiring campaigns.

A marketing team's image library for the year, so the next campaign does not start with a stock search.

Sessions, keynotes, booths and headshot stations, photographed and filmed in the same visit.
See event coverageHeadshots are often one piece of a larger photo library. The same visit can also cover leadership portraits, recruiting content, workplace photography, video, or event coverage, and when one photographer handles all of it, the library looks like it came from one company.
