Event photography is always unpredictable, and at the Partij voor de Dieren congress it was truly put to the test. From the main hall, where harsh sunlight poured through a massive skylight, to side areas lit only by artificial lamps, and the congress floor itself bathed in dim color lights, every corner presented a new challenge. The main stage stood out with relative brightness, but even that demanded constant adjustments.
Then came the performance by Pussy Riot after the first break — high-energy, fast movement, and the unexpected splash of water from the lead singer turned the moment into a photographer’s adrenaline rush. Capturing sharp frames in those conditions required patience, flexibility, and a willingness to adapt instantly.
Armed with my Canon 5D Mark IV paired with the Sigma 100–400mm, and my Canon 5DsR with the Sigma ART 24–70mm, I was able to balance reach and flexibility. One lens let me get close to fleeting expressions, the other captured the atmosphere of the stage and hall.
It was a demanding but rewarding experience, reminding me why I love event photography: it’s about chasing light, freezing energy, and telling a story that words alone cannot capture.
