Making powders, liquids and samples visible

A protein powder in a glass jar and a starch powder in the jar next to it look almost identical to a camera. What ingredient exhibitors at Fi Europe need are pictures that show texture, colour and application: the powder next to the finished bar, the extract next to the drink, the tasting with the visitor's reaction. We photograph sample ranges with our own light and a neutral background so colour nuances stay true, and add application shots right on the stand.

Glass jars, stainless steel dispensers and tasting counters reflect heavily. With a polarising filter and side light we get contents rather than reflections into the picture — a detail that noticeably improves data sheets and product pages.

Tastings and application demos on video

Fi Europe is tasted. Live tastings, show kitchens and application demos on the stand are the moments that work best on video: the moment a buyer tries and nods. We film such scenes with two cameras, cut a 30-second highlight and vertical clips for LinkedIn — the channel the ingredients industry buys on. Short interviews with your application technologists or sales directors are delivered with subtitles, in English or German.

Three days — our recommendation

Tuesday is the strongest day for technical conversations and buyer meetings. For clean stand overviews, sample ranges and team portraits we use the hour before opening. A four-hour package on Tuesday or Wednesday covers product shots, stand life and one interview; if you have a tasting series or a presentation on the stand stage, schedule it inside the time window. Images and highlight video are delivered in the evening — for exhibitors flying home on Thursday the finished material is already in the inbox.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at Fi Europe 2026 cost?

How do you photograph powders and liquids that all look alike?

With our own light, a neutral background and a polarising filter for glass and steel, plus always an application shot next to the sample. Colour nuances stay true and the viewer understands what the ingredient is for.

We are travelling from abroad — how does the engagement work?

Entirely in English, from briefing to delivery. We invoice as a German GmbH; companies outside the EU pay no German VAT.

Can you film our tasting?

Yes. We film the show kitchen or tasting counter with two cameras and cut vertical clips for LinkedIn. Audio is recorded with radio mics.

Do you work in English?
