Erasmus+ conference 2025
The Erasmus+ and European Solidarity Corps stakeholders’ conference, in a former industrial hall in Brussels: plenary, workshops, foyer.
Conference, Brussels, February 2025
The challenge
European programme, Brussels
The conference of the people behind Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps, in a former industrial hall. There was a plenary, but above all many small-group workshops. Showing the stage alone wouldn’t do.
The shoot
The venue helped a lot. In the foyer, the steel roof structure lit in cyan gives the whole day its colour, and I kept it in the wide shots. Some workshops took place behind a gridded glass wall. I photographed them through it, without walking in, which keeps the feeling of work in progress. In the auditorium, a wide angle brings the panel on its sofas and the packed seating into one frame. Those choices are made on site, by reading the venue, as with any professional event.
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 for the programme’s organisations across Europe. They show a community at work, in the hall and in the workshops alike.
