A Portrait of a Company.

For the 20th anniversary of Synthon, I was asked to do a portrait of who they are... I then asked who are you--!? Synthon is a "privately" owned pharmaceutical company with its head office in Nijmegen, Holland. They have laboratories and factories in the USA, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Spain, Czech Republic as well as in Holland. My job was to visit all locations and get to know them... I had 3 key words: Science, People & Affordable Medicines. The result- We made a photo book, a video, updated their web site and decorated walls in offices in all the locations. Bellow is a random collection of images from the project. PS: Remember, whatever the people in the photos are wearing, I wear the same!

A new Chapter- Food Research (Work in progress):

I am currently working on a project about food research. It is important and fascinating understanding what work happens behind the food we consume. Also important is the distribution and access to the food... More to come.
