Photographer for Automechanika in Frankfurt

Automechanika is the international flagship fair of the automotive industry — parts, workshop equipment, diagnostics, bodywork. We cover your appearance with photo and video and deliver the same day.

Technology that has to work in the image

Tools, lifts, diagnostic units and spare parts are functional products. Photographed flat from the front they produce catalogue images — useful for a datasheet, ineffective on LinkedIn or in a press pack.

So we work with light, detail shots and above all with people using the technology: a hand on the tool, a look at the diagnostic display, a conversation at the lift. Those images explain the benefit faster than a plain product view.

International audience, two languages

Automechanika is strongly international. A significant share of exhibitors and visitors come from abroad and many conversations happen in English.

We work in German and English — that applies to coordination at the stand as much as to interviews. If you want statements from international partners, we plan for it in advance.

How the show day runs

In the final hour before opening we take clean stand shots: architecture, signage, products, lighting — without visitors and without boxes in the background.

From roughly ten to one the footfall peaks; that is the time for lively images and demonstrations. Late afternoon suits team portraits and interviews.

Practical points to settle beforehand

Exhibitor pass: An exhibitor pass via the Messe Frankfurt exhibitor portal is normally sufficient for your own stand.Third-party brands: Workshop equipment often shows other manufacturers' marks. For advertising use we check together which shots are uncritical.Travel: We travel from Essen. Travel and any overnight stay are stated transparently in the quote.
