How a Bologna booking works

Bologna Marconi airport is served from Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich, and the flight takes around an hour and forty minutes. The Marconi Express monorail reaches the central station in seven minutes, and the fairground is a short taxi ride from there. We arrive the day before your first shooting day and are at the hall before opening; cameras, lights and audio come in our own cases.

Travel and hotel are quoted once per trip and shared between exhibitors of the same show week, so over a two- or three-day booking the travel share is a small part of the total. The packages are the fixed prices we charge in Germany, €990, €1,490 and €1,990 plus VAT. Italian and other EU companies with a VAT ID receive a reverse-charge invoice; non-EU companies pay no German VAT. On the stand we work in English; German, Arabic and Persian are available for interviews and subtitles.

BolognaFiere and its shows

BolognaFiere lies north of the city centre at Piazza della Costituzione, ten minutes from Bologna Centrale by bus or taxi, next to the motorway ring. The halls are grouped around a central spine and a series of courtyards.

The calendar is built around a few very large international shows. Cosmoprof Worldwide Bologna in March is the leading cosmetics and beauty fair, with brands from Asia, the Gulf and the Americas that need images of their stand for distributors at home. Cersaie in late September covers ceramic tiles and bathroom furnishings, EIMA International in November of even years covers agricultural machinery, Marca in January is the private-label show for retail, and the Bologna Children's Book Fair in spring adds publishers and illustrators. The halls are mostly artificially lit, so we bring light for the stand architecture before opening.

What we shoot, day by day

The first morning is for the clean stand: wide views, graphics, product walls, display cases and detail. At Cosmoprof that means packaging and textures, at Cersaie surfaces and lighting, at EIMA machines large enough to need a step ladder. Once visitors arrive we follow your team in real conversations and demonstrations, and those images are online the same evening. On later days we record interviews with your leadership, agents or customers, shoot product close-ups in the quieter early afternoon and cover any dinner or launch in the city. Footage is uploaded during the day and cut in Germany while the shooter is still in Bologna, so a short recap goes out mid-show and the full film within 24 hours after the show day ends.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a trade fair photographer in Bologna cost?

€990 for two hours, 30+ edited images and a 30-second video; €1,490 for four hours; €1,990 for a full show day; plus a shared travel share for the trip.

Do I pay German VAT?

Italian and other EU companies with a VAT ID receive a reverse-charge invoice without German VAT. Companies registered outside the EU pay no German VAT either. All invoices are in euro.

How does the travel cost work for two or three show days?

Travel and hotel are quoted once per trip, not per day, and split between the exhibitors we serve that show week, so over two or three days the travel share is a small part of the total.

How early should I book for Cosmoprof or Cersaie?

Four to six weeks ahead is ideal, since Bologna hotels are scarce during Cosmoprof and Cersaie.

Do you speak Italian on the stand?

No. Our working languages are English, German, Arabic and Persian; on the stand and with venue staff we work in English. Interviews and subtitles are available in all four.

Do we need permission to photograph at BolognaFiere?

As an exhibitor you may photograph and film your own stand. We register as your stand contractor, keep to your stand and its aisle and follow the organiser's rules for wider shots.

How can you deliver in 24 hours?

The shooter uploads footage during the day and our editing team in Germany cuts remotely while you are still on the stand. Delivery is a private download link, first photos usually the same evening.
