Trade fair photographer Hannover for industry, stand & event

HANNOVER MESSE, Agritechnica, LIGNA, Domotex, EMO: Hannover is about industry — large machines, technical subjects, an international specialist audience. We cover your appearance with photo and video.

Large machines need distance — and there rarely is any

Industrial fairs in Hannover share a recurring problem: the exhibits are large and the aisles comparatively narrow. A five-metre production line can hardly be captured completely and attractively from the aisle.

So we work with wide-angle lenses and corrected perspective, keeping lines straight so the machine does not appear to topple. Alongside that we shoot details — controls, material transitions, tooling in engagement. Those detail images are, in our experience, used more often than the wide shot.

Halls, light and metal

Hall lighting in Hannover is usually high, cool and uneven, and glossy metal surfaces reflect everything above them. Left alone, that produces harsh highlights and colour casts.

We add light deliberately and choose angles where reflections support the form of the machine rather than destroying it. With running equipment we also make sure movement is visible without the image looking simply blurred.

International audience and long days

The Hannover fairs are international and technical. Many conversations run in English and the days are long. We work in both languages and coordinate at the stand briefly and unobtrusively.

Because travelling from Essen consumes part of the day, we generally recommend a full day rather than a short block for Hannover. Travel and any overnight stay are stated transparently in the quote.

Practical points to settle beforehand

Exhibitor pass: An exhibitor pass via the exhibitor service portal is normally sufficient for your own stand.Safety requirements: Running machinery involves safety distances and sometimes protective equipment. Let us know in advance and we will bring what is needed.Confidential technology: If prototypes or details must not be shown, tell us beforehand.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What does a trade fair photographer in Hannover cost?

From €990 plus VAT for three hours with 60–100 edited images. Photo and video combined from €1,950, full-day coverage with a second camera operator from €3,490. Travel and any overnight stay are stated separately.

Can you photograph large machines and plant?

Yes. We use wide-angle lenses and perspective correction so large exhibits are rendered cleanly even in narrow aisles — complemented by detail shots of controls and assemblies.

Do you also work in English?

Yes. Coordination at the stand and interviews are handled in German and English.

Is a single show day worthwhile?

Because of the journey we usually recommend a full day for Hannover. On multi-day bookings reduced rates apply from the second day.
