When a company turns 25, it is worth finding someone who will cover the event and also what lies behind it: the people, the place and the everyday work. Evan & Natalia Simon do photography and video for companies in Asturias. They are a good fit for that kind of brief. An anniversary like this is not just a dinner or a few speeches. It is a good excuse to record what the company looks like today, with today's faces. And in a few years those images will say far more than the menu from that night.
What can be photographed
What can be photographed is concrete. Professional portraits, of one person or the whole team. The offices, the workshop or the space where the work gets done. The processes, and people hard at work, not posing. The products, the details and the atmosphere of the place. Together, those photos give an honest picture of the company in the year it turns 25. They can be used on the website, in an anniversary brochure, sent to the local press or hung in the office itself.
The day of the event
The day of the event calls for something else. What happens then does not happen twice. A speech lasts as long as it lasts. A hug between two colleagues who have spent half their lives working together happens once. That is why it matters to be able to read the room as it unfolds and to be in the right place just before the moment arrives, not after it has gone. That is Evan & Natalia's job at corporate events: moving around without getting in the way, watching the room and staying one step ahead.

What video adds
Video adds what a photo cannot hold. The voice of the person who founded the company. The laughter during the toast. The noise of a factory floor running at full capacity. A short anniversary video can be shown at the celebration itself, sent to clients and suppliers, or kept for the next anniversary. That is why photography and video often go together on this kind of job. Each one covers what the other misses.
Splitting the work into two moments
There is an advantage in splitting the work into two moments. A normal working day, before the anniversary, for the portraits, the spaces and the processes, calmly and in good light. And then the event itself, with everyone dressed up, the guests and the nerves that come with a date like that. It does not have to be done this way, but many companies find it easier. On the day of the celebration, nobody has to stop and pose in front of the same old machine.

All over Asturias
Location is no obstacle. Evan & Natalia work all over the region, so it makes no difference whether the company is in Gijón, in Oviedo, in one of the mining valleys or in a coastal village. What matters is understanding what the company wants to remember about those 25 years and who it wants to show it to.
The next step
The next step is simple. Just write to Evan & Natalia Simon with three details: the planned date of the anniversary, the place and what you want to capture. It might be just the event, or also portraits of the team, the workspaces and the products. If that is not clear yet, that is fine too. A first conversation is there for exactly that: to put ideas in order and see what makes sense for that particular company. There is no need to have everything decided or a script ready. Knowing that the company is turning 25 and wants to celebrate is already enough to talk about.
