One Haworth Center green roof
Architectural photographers are often asked to capture photographs from an elevated vantage point. Planes, helicopters, scissor lifts, boom lifts and even the roof of an adjacent building can all be used to capture such images.
When planning the photography at One Haworth Center, one of the priority photographs was an elevated view of the building that would show the new green roof as well as the glass curtain wall.

Shooting from a helicopter would give us the most flexibility in terms of vantage point but would be costly and tricky to schedule due to the rapidly changing weather that we were facing. Turner Construction had a 60-foot boom lift on site and offered its use for the shoot.
On the second day of our 3-day shoot we contacted the boom lift operator and asked him to move the lift into position for the shot. Within 15 minutes he had me over 50 feet in the air and I was able to get a shot that showed both the green roof and the glass curtain wall of the LEED-NC Gold certified building.
