Updated Meeting Spaces -

We recently had the opportunity to photograph a local advertising agency that recently revamped their office meeting spaces. The design beautifully blends industrial elements with modern comfort. The exposed brick and open ceiling of the "locker room" area immediately draw attention, highlighted by the unique bleacher seating that invites collaboration and casual conversation.

The ceiling’s I-beams and the textured finish—achieved by sandblasting years of paint off various surfaces—add a raw, authentic charm to the updated facility. The weathered details create a striking contrast against the contemporary furnishings, reinforcing the space’s creative and dynamic environment.

Below are some of our favorite shots capturing the distinctive character and thoughtful design of this inspiring workspace.

The Future of Shopping:

The future of shopping has arrived.  We shot this high-tech supermarket just before stocking and opening.  All looks plain and ordinary, except that there are no checkouts and hundreds of ceiling mounted cameras.  Just pick up your groceries and leave.  Amazing.  Some favorites below.

Shooting Stone Gate:

Earlier this year, we had the opportunity to photograph Stone Gate reception hall. A new addition to the already expansive facility was the highlight of the shoot. We focused on capturing the exterior to showcase how seamlessly this addition was integrated into the existing complex. Below are some of our favorite images from the project.

Shooting Sushi Grove:

We recently photographed Sushi Grove, a popular local restaurant renowned for its super fast service and outstanding cuisine. This spot is ideal for satisfying sushi cravings during a busy lunch hour. Below are some of their standout dishes captured through our lens, showcasing the quality and freshness that keep customers coming back.

Shooting Sky Zone Westmont:

 Often, large commercial spaces undergo transformation to meet new market demands, as was the case with this outdated Walmart. Once considered too small for the modern shopper, the space found new life as a Sky Zone indoor amusement park. Capturing the scale and energy of such an expansive interior presented a unique opportunity and challenge for architectural photography. 

Utilizing super wide-angle architectural lenses was essential to fully convey the vastness of the environment. In post-processing, the focus was on enhancing clarity and vibrancy, ensuring the colors pop and the dynamic atmosphere of the amusement park comes through vividly. Below are some of our favorite shots from this project, showcasing the successful repurposing of commercial architecture into an exciting, engaging space

Exceptional Reception Space:

Stepping off the elevator one is immediately greeted by this beautiful contemporary reception area, featuring artistic privacy glass, sculpted, dimensional partition behind the functional spacious curved receptionist desk.

The waiting are contains a large sculpted sectional couch with circular coffee / meeting tables.  Above the couch is a modern sculpted soffit with bespoke lighting.   The highgloss floor reflects the custom design of the custom furnishing and the large bamboo art balances the pop of colors.  A truly stunning design by Debby Hill of Key Interiors.   

Smart Commercial Breakroom:

Highlighting a recent photoshoot for Chicagoland’s finest commercial design-build studio, Key Interiors, featuring the exceptional work of interior designer Debby Hill. The space perfectly embodies the principle of form following function, enhanced by bold splashes of color that bring energy and personality to an often-overlooked area.

Break rooms and similar spaces are frequently dismissed, yet for those spending long days at work, these areas become essential sanctuaries. It’s the thoughtful details and intentional comfort that make all the difference—creating a place where people can genuinely unwind and recharge.

Looking forward to sharing more from this inspiring shoot. Some favorites from the session are showcased below.
