Behind the scenes at a startup company

Neuroventis is a young Belgian startup company operating in the rapidly expanding field of device-based healthcare support. Their first two product suites gather data from migraine and epilepsy sufferers and feed it securely to their doctors, making possible earlier and more tailored interventions. I was lucky enough to be asked to make portraits of the company’s team of 14 staff on the occasion of its fifth birthday. While I was there I also shot a series of informal ‘behind the scenes’ images for the website.

I absolutely love doing this kind of photographic reportage. A couple of times I did suggest something to a member of the Neuroventis team, or ask someone to hold a position for me for a couple of minutes. But mostly I just drifted around the company’s brick-lined office space snapping what was actually going on that afternoon.

They were very welcoming and cooperated eagerly in the entire process. I left them sharing a few beers at the end of the day to celebrate the company’s first five years of existence. I can’t wait to see how they use my photos on their website.
