This new Chicago educational development is described as hotel-esque, collegiate, and upscale for affluent children with tuition noted at incredible $30,000/year per pupil.

This isn’t our first project photographing an education building architectural photography photos shoot.  During this project, our image focus was on the skyscraper school, high-rise building construction and architectural pictures of the finished building. We captured architectural pictures of the state-of-the-art school building in Chicago showcasing the building’s primary entrances and angles on the south & west elevations. Each side of the property’s facade has a playful mix of glass, metal, and unique use of bold colors. As a Chicago Architectural Photographer specializing in new construction and unique architecture building photography, we travel the Nation photographing buildings and shooting photos of many of the United State’s best architecturally designed buildings. We enjoyed the modern & strategic use of material details within this building’s design. The modernist facade elevations of Gems World Academy utilizes eye-catching primary colors.  Our client requested day time exterior building photography showing off the building’s unique curtain wall and color filled exterior facade panels. The distinctive mid-rise building stands out within the Chicago skyline with modern interlacing and stripes in red, yellow and blue.

An incredible list of locations to photograph, we were impressed upon reviewing the list of 15 buildings to photograph all remarkably constructed and engineered by the Construction Company, so we simply couldn’t wait to get started.  For each exterior building photo shoot, our client’s primary shoot desires were to showcase each building as one attention grabbing image for the company’s impressive construction marketing portfolio and feature those 15 best shots and images of the buildings as framed prints on the walls of their office.  The company’s new Chicago headquarters had blank walls, so they desired to showcase past construction projects as wall art through the hallways, boardroom, and executive staff members offices.

“The development department of this private school contacted us mentioning their need to incorporate up to date and captivating visual pictures of their campus within their redevelopment of the school’s marketing materials.  Most importantly they wanted to provide strong imagery with a captivating and lasting first impression.

Many organizations, hospital, nursing homes, churches, universities and schools are looking to increase each year their visitors, attendance and new student population.  Marketing departments, recruiters and new development persons are becoming more aware that in this technological age we all live it, consumers respond best to strong visual images found within marketing materials.  Online, printed and press release communications in conjunction with strong images, help to provide visually an organization’s place in their region.  Images can highlight recent renovations, or more simply as we were hired as photographers for this shoot, we provided a photo tour of the existing established campus.  The campus photo tour not only included these exterior building and interior chapel photography, but also the pictures of classroom  such as science lab, the library, halls, community and lunch room spaces, computer labs, art rooms, the auditorium, and both established exterior building and the campus’s recently renovated buildings.  We also highlighted photos of the campus’s track, stadium and sports fields.”
