interbad is the trade fair for swimming pools, saunas and spas: almost 450 exhibitors on 26,800 m² and visitors from 64 countries, accompanied by the Congress for the Pool Sector of the German Society for the Pool Industry (DGfdB). Water, stainless steel, glass, timber and steam are beautiful but difficult subjects — we photograph your stand so that pool operators, architects and hoteliers recognise the quality.

Hardly any fair gathers as many reflective surfaces as interbad: filled pools, glass walls, polished stainless steel, mosaic tiles, chrome fittings. Each of them throws the hall lighting back, and a stand photo taken from the hip shows mostly reflections. We work with a polarising filter and chosen angles so that water stays clear and glass transparent, and with a white balance that keeps pool blue from tipping into turquoise and keeps light timber in the sauna warm.
The second task is the contrast between the worlds on your stand: the dark, timber-clad sauna cabin with its accent lighting next to the brightly lit stainless steel pool. We expose both separately and photograph the details that count in the sales conversation — weld seams, overflow channels, heater controls, jets, filter systems and the control displays of the water treatment, legible instead of blown out.
Counter-current systems, massage jets, steam, coloured light, automatic infusion: much of what makes your installation special moves. We film your stand as a walk-through and the functions in operation, complemented by short statements from your management or planner with a wireless microphone. The result is a 30-second highlight for LinkedIn and vertical clips for Instagram that your dealers and hotel clients can reuse.
If your company gives a talk at the Congress for the Pool Sector, we photograph speaker, audience and slides — for the show report and for LinkedIn.
interbad takes place every two years; the next edition is not until 2028. The material from Stuttgart therefore carries through two seasons of catalogues, website and show reports — a good reason to choose the shooting day with care.
Tuesday is opening day with many congress participants; Wednesday usually brings the densest technical conversations. For stand overviews with still water and no visitors we use the time before opening, when the pools are not yet in motion. Thursday is quieter and suits team portraits and detail shots of the technology. We deliver the highlight video and first images the same evening.
Basins, overflow channels and jets photographed with a polariser — clear water, no hall reflections.
Timber, coloured light and steam warm and without noise, cabins from inside and outside.
Filters, controls, pumps and displays legible and tidy for planners and operators.
Your stand before opening with still water and no visitors in frame.
Walk-through, functions in operation and a 30-second highlight, cut on the show day.
Management, planners and congress speakers with wireless microphone, delivered with subtitles.
A post with your stand while the show is still running gets seen and shared. That is why every package includes finished photos and video within 24 hours after the event ends — first images usually the same day. Two revision rounds included.
A sample from our production: the event recap for your website and LinkedIn — below it, native 9:16 footage for Reels, Shorts and Stories, shot in parallel with the main coverage.
