Monumental images serve as potent tributes to collective unity, diversity, and profound impact, unveiling numerous individual narratives within each group.

While a cursory glance might perceive a large group photograph as a mere assembly of faces, beneath the surface lies a tapestry brimming with stories and personalities. Like any group portrait, these photographs bear the dual responsibility of showcasing the entire collective while honouring each individual participant.

What sets large group photos apart is their scale. To encapsulate the essence of the collective, they must be expansive enough to render each individual sharply and distinctly.

In the realm of Large Group Photography, size transcends mere aesthetics; it is the gateway to uncovering the true significance and resonance of the image. As the dimensions expand, every face, gesture, and emotion come into sharp focus. Within this grand scale, we grasp the enormity of the group, celebrate the diversity of its members, and acknowledge the contributions of each individual.

It is precisely because each individual occupies their own space and there is room for their individuality that the group can evolve into a monumental whole. The grandeur of the group underscores the beauty of diversity and the significance of the uniqueness of each individual.
Every One Counts.

A large group photo is the culmination of intensive collaboration. A single photographer cannot fulfill all the roles necessary to successfully complete the photo. Therefore, teamwork is essential. Through workshops, we train members of the group to become cameramen, lighting technicians, organizers, stage builders, and so on… so that ultimately, the group itself takes its own group photo. The group photo is a project executed by the group members themselves.

For this specific project, we enlisted the assistance of the photography students from the Department of Photography at the ‘Academie Kunsthumaniora Brugge’ (KSO). During a two-day workshop, they effectively executed the creation of the group photograph.
