Where and when

Where you can book last-minute

Our office is at Messeallee 26 in Essen, 30 seconds from the entrance of Messe Essen. That is why the offer applies there on every show day, as long as a time slot is free that day. At other fairs it applies on the days our crew is on site anyway.

In short

What is a last-minute trade fair photo shoot?

A last-minute trade fair photo shoot is a short photo session at your stand that you book while the show is running, even on the same day. At Pixer it takes 30 minutes, gives you 20 edited photos, costs €199 plus VAT and is delivered by download link the same evening.

The offer is made for exhibitors who travelled without a photographer, whose photographer dropped out, or who realise on the stand that phone pictures will not do for the website, the press release and LinkedIn. Thirty minutes are enough for the pictures almost every exhibitor needs after the show: the stand as a whole, the team, two or three products in detail and a conversation with a customer.

The last-minute reel follows the same idea for video: a 30-minute shoot, cut into one finished 20-second reel that you can publish while the show is still open. If you need photos and a reel, book both as Trade Fair Express for €390.

For full coverage with a highlight video, interviews and several hours on site, the regular trade fair packages from €990 are the better choice. The table shows the difference.

FAQ

Questions about the last-minute shoot

How much does a last-minute trade fair photographer cost?

At Pixer the last-minute photo shoot costs €199 plus VAT: 30 minutes at your stand and 20 edited photos, delivered the same evening. The last-minute reel also costs €199, both together as Trade Fair Express €390.

Can I book a trade fair photographer on the same day?

Yes, as long as a time slot is free that day. At Messe Essen we are especially fast, because our office is 30 seconds from the entrance. WhatsApp is quickest: +49 171 117 16 16.

At which fairs is the offer available?

At every fair at Messe Essen on every show day, for example Essen Motor Show, IPM ESSEN, E-world and SPIEL. At other fairs in North Rhine-Westphalia it applies on the days our crew is on site anyway. The current dates are listed on this page.

When do I get the pictures?

The same evening. You receive a private download link with the 20 edited photos or the finished reel and can publish while the show is still running.

How do I pay?

By card at your stand with our card terminal, or in advance by payment link. The invoice arrives by e-mail. Companies outside the EU pay no German VAT.

What is the difference to the Trade Fair Basic package?

Trade Fair Basic for €990 means two hours on site, at least 30 edited pictures, a 30-second highlight video and one social media clip. The last-minute shoot is the short version: 30 minutes and exactly one result, photos or a reel.

Do I need a permit for the photographer?

For pictures of your own stand usually not. We work as your contractor on the stand. Pictures of other stands or of the hall are regulated by the organiser, and we clarify that in advance if needed.

Do you speak English?

Yes. We work in English and German; interviews and subtitles are also possible in Arabic and Persian. Most of our trade fair clients come from outside Germany.
