#WCEU2026 - Photography - The secret workflow

In the third episode of WordCamp Europe Insights, Kasia Janowska talks with Nilo Vélez, team lead for WordCamp Europe’s photography team in Kraków. They explore how a group of volunteer photographers turns a 3000‑person WordPress conference into a visual story shared in real time, published openly on Flickr, and reused by the whole community. Nilo reveals how the team works with multiple photographers, coordinates real‑time shots for social media, selects the best images from thousands of frames, and creates galleries that speakers, sponsors, and attendees can use freely. He also shares what it’s like to be a photographer at WordCamp Europe, from access to backstage areas to the joy of capturing iconic moments with a global team. If you’ve ever wondered how those stunning WordCamp Europe photos come together - or whether you could join the photography team yourself - this episode is your inside look.
