All-Atlantic Forum 2025
An international forum in Brussels, in a protocol setting: delegations in the main hall, panels, arrivals.
Conference, Brussels, September 2025
The challenge
International forum, Brussels
An international forum in Brussels, with delegations at their desks and flags all around the main hall. Protocol sets the frame. I had to respect it without letting the pictures turn stiff.
The shoot
I arrived with the first participants, as the hosts were opening the registration desks. The welcome area and the glass façade with its banner are easier to photograph before the crowd. In the main hall I looked for wide shots that keep the delegations and the giant screen together. For the panels I stood behind the audience, who stay soft in the foreground and give the picture depth. That’s how I cover an institutional event without getting in anyone’s way.
What was delivered
- Full gallery, retouched, online.
- For an event, I usually allow for at least 100 edited photos for two hours, 225 for four hours and more than 300 for a full day.
- These are guidelines. Everything can be adapted to your project, and I’m happy to talk it through with you before the shoot.
How the images were used
The photos were mainly for people following the forum remotely. They show them the room and the discussions as if they had been there.
