\"photographe<\/a><\/p>\n

Earlier this month, I was invited to act as the event photographer for a three-day event celebrating sustainable development hosted at The Pass<\/a>, a scientific museum in Frameries. Called \u201cThe Feast of Sustainable Development,\u201d this event was both very interesting and personally enriching because it focused on a theme in which I try to be involved: the environment and the attention to waste. I consider myself fortunate to have been asked to provide the event photography for this fun three-day festival.<\/p>\n

Wallonia Event Photography: Feast of Sustainable Development<\/h2>\n

Broken out into three days, each day brought new and interesting speakers, forums and introductions. As an event photographer I tried to provide a glimpse into the exchange, sharing and interaction between the attendees. It is important for this style of event to highlight the relationships between people and the interaction of the attendees. It was therefore important to mix both broad and close-up shots, and sometimes blurring the background to highlight certain moments, speakers or actions. This allowed me to capture the essence of the event and all who attended.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to showcase the atmosphere of the beautiful site, The Pass. This unique venue was once a coal mining site, but has now been converted into a museum and scientific discovery site. The Pass allows both children and adults to experiment and discover the scientific community with hands-on experiments and displays. The Pass provides a place for visitors to embark on a journey of discovery, enjoying science in multiple exhibits, displays and films. It was the perfect venue choice for this event!<\/p>\n

Day One: Associative Forum<\/h2>\n

The first day hosted the Associative Forum: 145 Walloon companies and associations shared their experiences and explored possible solutions to further install sustainable development and ecological transition within their sectors. The different workshops of the day were organized by associations21<\/a>, specialized in the organization of events highlighting the sustainable. One memorable moment of the first day was when the Walloon Minister of the Environment, Carlo Di Antonio<\/a>, inaugurated a new wind turbine that will allow The Pass to create green energy. It was wonderful to see how technology continues to evolve. Multiple success stories and inspiring testimonials were shared. Documenting the interaction and proposals was very interesting for me, after all, it\u2019s not every day I get to see so many people collaborate towards the betterment of the environment. There was even a graphic artist<\/a> who took graphic notes over the course of the day, providing another visual to capture the day. It was inspiring to see how many different associations wanted to embrace sustainable development.<\/p>\n
