Pulse is a new 6,000-square-foot gas station and offers unique, convenience store, food and specialty items to purchase, different than other gas stations in the Elkhart / South Bend Indiana area.  The station has a brick-oven pizzeria readily available for customers to craft order their own pizza’s toppings for a custom made pizza pie, a large self-service candy wall, 15 different flavors of frozen yogurt available, specialty grocery foods, large flavored coffee bar, frozen foods section, a larger variety of the typical station foods, and drinks.  Truly a creative and different style of gas station/convenience store concept that provides for a small dining seating area on-site too. 

The Elkhart / South Bend Indiana Pulse Gas Station Photography shoot incorporated interior photography inside of the Elkhart retail commercial gas station store included photos in the sections graphically called U Craft Woodfired Pizza, U Brew Coffee Bar, U Twirl Frozen Yogurt, Treat U Self to the gourmet candy sweets wall, and the restaurant seating area inside.  Outside, drone and the exterior photography of the gas station property included a couple of angles of the building and photos both with and without the gas station pumps & canopy.  We photographed creative angles and real estate photography capturing the gas station architecture during the daytime, and in dusk night photos.  The developer says plan are in the works to build four or more locations in the coming years.  

Discussing the building’s commercial construction exterior and interior photography project with the client, due to the photography shoot’s property being open to the public, customers would be utilizing the photographed space 24-7.  For the highly public, real estate photographed spaces, our client appreciated we are photographers with an ability to incorporate interior photography of the gas stations and interior retail convenience store with marketing photos to include a lifestyle component to the shots, whereas the customers and people of the public will be blurred and moving throughout the interior retail architectural photography building’s photoshoot. Customers and employees within the photographs add life, movement, and people which help to provide a sense of scale within the composition of each photograph taken.  

A highly-focused and unique gas station incorporating a strategic marketing business concept, the Pulse Gas Station design incorporates a culture based around concepts of delivering “awesome”.   That culture is carried throughout not only graphically and visually within the Elkhart building’s retail store, but in the company’s philosophical branding.  Pulse is selling not only awesome retail products, but also providing a culture of delivering awesome service too!  Environmental graphic design by Treebird Branding.

Nationwide architectural photographers, we shoot a variety of structures and construction.  For this project, Miller+Miller had the opportunity to capture photography of the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge, canopy, and plaza restoration photographing the toll road’s infrastructure construction completion in photographs.  Not long after the Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge & Plaza restoration’s construction completion, we scheduled photography of the famous iconic, neon sign gateway and high-bridge entrance into the city of Chicago. 

The marketing department from the Skyway inquired to Miller + Miller, looking to hire an architectural photographer to capture structural photography with photos showcasing the site’s update which preserved the original vintage art-deco design of the toll plaza structure and infrastructure photography highlighting the modern day new technological improvements. The architectural photography project incorporated a variety of shots including aerial drone photos, day, dusk images, and night photographs of the historic restoration of the Chicago Skyway plaza, LED toll lane signage, modern signs along the roadway, stainless steel tollbooth, steel canopy, neon letter signage, portraits of employees working in toll lanes, and scenic pictures of the high-bridge from the roadway for the organization’s press releases, marketing, website, and advertising photo needs. 

The project included photographing one of the Chicago area’s major transportation route and travel hubs.  The Skyway serves a link between roadways, tollways and expressways within Illinois, Indiana and Michigan midwestern states while traveling to downtown Chicago from the Southside.   The Chicago Skyway is a 7.8 mile long toll road built by the city of Chicago in 1958 to connect the Dan Ryan Expressway to the Indiana Toll Road.  In 2005, Chicago’s Skyway became the first U.S. privatization of a toll road in the country.  The Chicago Skyway Tollway is currently operated & maintained by the Skyway Concession Company, LLC and was purchased in 2016 by three Canadian Pension Funds – OMERS Infrastructure, CPP Investment Board, and Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan.  

Since 2005, the Skyway Concession Company, LLC has invested over 120 million dollars on transportation industry improvements to the Skyway, including an expansive technology build-out to allow for electronic payment of tolls and ability of E-ZPass / I-PASS payment.  The ability to combine the sixty-year-old architecture of the canopy with the latest tolling technology is “a testament to the progressive and versatile nature of the original toll plaza design,” said Skyway Concession Company CEO in a statement to Curbed Chicago.  The Chicago Skyway canopy restoration project, led by SOM, carefully returns the structure to its original form while modernizing its tolling technology. Old cameras, antennae, and other attachments are replaced by new, streamlined technology for more convenient and efficient toll services, plus LED lighting, and easy-to-read digital signage.  According to SOM, the canopy design incorporates photovoltaic panels to provide 100 percent of the renewable clean energy required to run the toll plaza. As communications and transportation technology evolved, the toll plaza had been continuously retrofitted with new devices and fittings.  This recent modernization no longer was impeding service speed and traffic flow.  

The original 1958 construction design of the Skyway’s toll plaza canopy was described as “ultra-modern”. Architectural photographs of the renovation not only included highlighting infrastructure, but also architectural structural renovation design which kept the familiar toll plaza eye-catching mid-century design elements from the historic, original construction design. Car drivers along the roadway today are still invited with the 1958-styled, historic, classic red sign mounted neon letters which spell out “Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge” atop the historically modernized piece of elegant midcentury infrastructure.

In addition, the architectural photography shoot project included capturing day images and night photos of the 1⁄2-mile-long steel truss bridge, known as the “High Bridge” crosses the Calumet River and Calumet Harbor.  A major harbor for large-sized industrial ships, the Skyway bridge’s construction is an impressive 650 feet long and provides for 125 feet of vertical clearance. The photography shoot focused on angles of not only the Skyway’s soaring very HIGH overhead steel bridge & roadway, but also artistic road, expressway and infrastructure pictures with shots of the bridge incorporating the area views of the Lake Michigan shoreline, the Chicago skyline in the distance, and creative aerial drone photographs of the roadway transportation system.

Learn more about The Chicago Skyway at www.chicagoskyway.org.  The Skyway project’s architectural renovation design was led by Architect SKIDMORE, OWINGS & MERRILL LLP. Project engineer and civil engineering of the famed Chicago Skyway Bridge’s design and construction by contractors Beier Engineering. Miller + Miller Architectural Photography was thankful to photograph the renovation project providing marketing construction images of the updated Chicago Skyway Toll Bridge & Plaza Restoration project.
