Photographing an event such as the Stuttgart kick-off of the KlimaMobil competence network with Winfried Hermann (Green Baden-Württemberg Minister of Transport) offers the opportunity to show that, as a photographer, you have mastered the necessary mixture of thinking ahead, targeted action, composition and quick reaction. If, on top of that, you deliver the photos on site so quickly that the first publications go public while the event is still in progress, you will be rewarded as an event photographer by the fact that most of the work is already done when the last guests leave.
In order to be able to share it quickly, a photo of the cheque handover was taken before the start.
A staircase in front of the event hall served for a quick group photo of all participants.
