Photo report: 40 years of Handicap International

Contact us to document your event with professional photography.

Organising an event is central to your organisation’s or company’s communications strategy. To mark its 40th anniversary, an international organisation has commissioned a photographer to cover the event.

Handicap International celebrated its fortieth anniversary of working to support people with disabilities around the world. Since its inception, the organisation has evolved.
A unique event took place in Brussels, in the European Quarter, on Google’s premises, which were kindly made available to the NGO for this one-off event. We were there to provide the photo report.

Workshops, an exhibition, an interactive game and video screenings were organised to showcase the many facets of Handicap International to the public, who were able to meet experts from the organisation who were happy to answer any questions.

The story behind our photographic coverage of Handicap International

During our photo shoots, we aim for images that are spontaneous, authentic and resonate with your audience, thanks to the expertise of a professional photographer with extensive experience in event photography. When covering an event for an NGO such as Handicap International or for a company – whether an anniversary, the opening of new premises, a press conference, a cocktail reception, etc. – the photographer captures speeches and portraits while recording the emotions of your guests and staff. The corporate photographer conveys the atmosphere of your event through images, for example by highlighting both the major and minor details of your occasion.

Our event photographers deliver retouched images almost immediately, sending them in near real time so you can update your social media channels as the event unfolds.
