Security Essen is the leading trade fair for civil security — video technology, access control, fire protection, perimeter security. We photograph and film your appearance, minutes from our office.
Cameras, sensors, locking systems and control cabinets are functional, often dark and rarely photogenic. Shot flat from the front they produce catalogue images nobody shares. At Security Essen, the approach decides whether the material is usable afterwards.
We work with light, shallow depth of field and detail shots — and above all with people operating the technology. A hand on an access reader, a glance at the monitor wall, a conversation in front of the product display: those images explain your product faster than a cut-out on white.
One technical issue affects nearly every stand at this show: screens. Monitors and LED walls flicker at unsuitable shutter speeds, and hall lighting mixes with coloured stand lighting.
We set shutter speed and white balance accordingly, so displays stay clean and skin tones look natural. If your product demo runs on a screen, tell us — we plan the shots so the screen content is actually readable.
In the final hour before opening we take the clean stand shots — no visitors, no boxes in the background. Those are the images you need for your website, press pack and to promote next year's appearance.
Between roughly ten and one the footfall peaks — that is the time for lively images. Late afternoon suits team portraits and interviews, once the rush eases.
Overviews, architecture, signage and product details — shot before the doors open, while the stand is still tidy.
Real situations instead of staged handshakes: consultations, demos, busy stands, people in motion.
A 60–90 second film per show day, cut for LinkedIn and your website — same evening on request.
Statements from your management or customer voices, recorded with a lavalier mic and lighting in a quiet corner.
Consistent portraits of your stand team against a neutral background — ready for LinkedIn and your website.
A first edited selection during the show day, so your marketing can post while the fair is still running.
Your trade fair content should be ready while the attention is still there. We shoot the moments that matter, edit fast, and hand over finished photos and video the same day — depending on schedule, scope and the package you book.
Fixed prices, defined deliverables, predictable turnaround. All prices exclude VAT and include travel within North Rhine-Westphalia.
Tell us the date, venue, stand size and what the images are for. You normally get a fixed-price quote within 24 hours, with no hidden line items.
We arrive with our own equipment, work discreetly around your stand, and never interrupt a conversation or a demo. Shot list agreed in advance.
Edited photos and cut video via a private download link — same day on selected packages.
From €990 plus VAT for three hours with 60–100 edited images. Photo and video combined from €1,950, full-day coverage from €3,490. No travel costs apply for Messe Essen, as our office is on Messeallee.
Yes. Alongside stand photography we produce detail shots of individual devices and components — with additional lighting and shallow depth of field, so the images also work in a catalogue or datasheet.
We adjust shutter speed and white balance so displays appear without banding or colour cast. If screen content needs to be legible, we plan for it specifically.
Yes. For our event packages we deliver a first edited selection the same day, depending on schedule and scope.
