Our next blog post features photos from a MILLER + MILLER Architectural Photography Wisconsin interior architectural photography project shoot for Flad Architects – Sentry Insurance Corporate Headquarters Lobby Renovation. Our second corporate headquarters refresh. See both of the lobby interior renovation shoots by our client and friends at Flad Architects. Flad Architects is located in Madison and booked us for this cost shared architectural photographer shoot which took place at the Sentry Insurance Headquarters building in Stevens Point, Wisconsin located on the SentryWorld Campus.

A few of our interior photography objectives for the Wisconsin architect’s photo shoot was to capture photos of the renovation’s architectural details, new room layout designs, and the stunning custom lighting’s essence by highlighting the luminous centerpiece — a radiant chandelier. The lobby’s large lighting masterpiece installation captivated everyone the moment they entered the corporate building on our shoot day.

The Sentry Insurance Headquarter’s office lobby features the stunning, custom Yellow Goat Design acrylic blue, Floe chandelier centerpiece light. The light design & installation was a custom collaboration between Flad Architects and YGD to create an iconic light installation that reflects the insurance company’s brand colors featuring blue acrylic slices suspended to form a three-dimensional shape interpretation of Sentry’s corporate logo. The LED bi-pins lights added sparkle and glow to the hanging acrylic panels and lobby room. According to Yellow Goat Design, the company says the light “successfully represents a feeling of warmth for all that walk through the doors – inspiring trust, inspiration, conversation and vibrancy.”

The corporate headquarters office’s revitalization photographs shoot included both on the ground and photographing aerial drone photography exterior building images. As an exterior architectural photographer, with the option for requesting drone aerial images, the ability to photograph the entrance canopy connecting the parking garage to the building, and the landscape architecture improvements on the terrace completed by Flad Architect’s landscape experts, allowed for a variety of both ground eye-level and drone elevations.

We captured a variety of portfolio imagery angles showcasing the architect’s enhancements to the inner courtyards and multi-tiered terrace below. Building design improvements by the architect and photographs included photography of the building’s new exterior glass curtain wall facade and a reimagined landscape architect design on the terrace featuring pergolas, new pavers, stylish lounge seating, and uplighting—creating a serene garden retreat for employees, customers, and visitors to enjoy. Our last photograph of the shoot was featuring the light installation, glowing through the lobby’s glass at night after dark.

The iconic, award-winning original Sentry Insurance Campus facility building, located in central Wisconsin, was originally designed by Flad in the late 1970s, and was a progressive work of architecture for its time. The described by many as sci-fi looking stone building has a figure 8 design, and centrally located 6-story atrium, allowing for natural light inside, and is raised above multiple levels of parking providing for an open, interior lush courtyard, plus beautiful surrounding views being perched high with viewing vantage points across small-town Wisconsin. Continuing to work with Flad today approximately 25 years later, Flad and Sentry have been enhancing and modernizing their corporate building facilities with construction completion across multiple buildings in Wisconsin, Stevens Point, and Goldsboro, North Carolina.

University College Prep School Exterior and Interior Photography

“Above our a few samples from our two day photography session with this university and college preparatory high school, located in the Northern Illinois and Chicago area. The day capturing architectural photography included not only campus exterior architectural photography, but also interior room photography of the old and new sections of the school, and time outdoors beyond the education section of the campus where we photographed the school, university and college sport stadium, parks and fields.

After discussing with the school’s marketing department their communication and visual needs, they booked more than one day with us and we captured pictures of the building’s recent additions and renovations to campus academic buildings, classrooms, lecture halls and more providing photos for the school’s public relations, press, development needs. The campus tour photos were incorporated into the school’s recent web design update and printed brochures. Today a year later after the shoot, our contact at the school replied saying “Thank you Sarah and Ryan. Your photography has helped our school’s marketing pieces and website standout. ”

With several public and private educational institutions in the Chicago suburbs and the metropolitan Chicago area the development department decided to updated the school’s design materials by enhancing the designs with not only a new up to date logo, information and web site, but they also contacted us for commercial photography of the students and interior and exterior building photos helping to enhance the image of the campus inviting future students to visit and enjoy the school.”
