Team Europe Democracy 2026
The annual meeting of a European initiative for democracy, in a former glass-roofed industrial hall: plenary, panels, group photo, portraits.
Conference, Brussels, June 2026
The challenge
European initiative, Brussels
The annual meeting of a European initiative for democracy, in a former hall with a glass roof. Around a hundred participants, and partners who each want to reuse the pictures in their own communication.
The shoot
The hall has long wrought-iron galleries. I used them to photograph the room lengthwise, from the back towards the stage. During the panels I stayed close to the platform to catch the answers, mic in hand. Between two sessions I took tight portraits of the speakers against a bright white background. The day ended in the inner courtyard, with a group photo from above where around a hundred people wave at the camera. It often closes the coverage of an institutional event.
What was delivered
- Full gallery, retouched, online.
- Speaker portraits.
- 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
Each partner in the initiative can reuse these photos in its own communication. The portraits are also there for the speakers themselves.
