For exhibitors at German trade shows
I photograph and film booths at all Koelnmesse events, from gamescom and Anuga to imm cologne and specialist fairs, as well as at Messe Düsseldorf and in Dortmund. Being based in Cologne, I can often step in only a few days before the show opens. For leading fairs such as gamescom or Anuga I recommend booking four to eight weeks ahead.
You get booth overviews and detail shots, people and conversations at the stand, and on request a time-lapse of the build-up from empty hall floor to finished booth.
Photo and video from one source
Booth photography and aftermovie come from one person: one look, no double coordination and a better overall price. Same-day highlights for LinkedIn and Instagram arrive while the show is still running, the finished aftermovie usually within one to two weeks.
Experience
Booth photography and trade show films in Cologne, Düsseldorf, Dortmund and Paris, including THE TIRE COLOGNE, InterTabac Dortmund, in-cosmetics Paris, imm cologne and gamescom. Most recently: product clips for 15 exhibitors in one weekend at spoga horse. Client names stay confidential.

Questions & answers
Which trade shows in Cologne do you cover?
All Koelnmesse events, from gamescom and Anuga to imm cologne and specialist fairs, plus Messe Düsseldorf and Westfalenhallen Dortmund.
How much does a trade show photographer in Cologne cost?
Photo coverage at Koelnmesse starts at €690 for half a show day. Photo and video together for a full day start at €1,490, including editing. There are no travel costs within Cologne.
Do we get images during the show?
Yes. Same-day highlights for LinkedIn and Instagram are delivered on the same show day, while the fair is still running.
Can you film the booth build-up?
Yes. A build-up time-lapse from empty hall floor to finished booth is one of the strongest storytelling elements of a trade show film.
Are drone shots possible in exhibition halls?
Where the venue allows it. I clarify permissions with the trade fair company in advance and plan gimbal and slider alternatives if drones are not permitted.
Can we work in English?
Yes. Briefing, coordination on site and delivery can run in English.
