2 – 5 November 2026 · ADNEC, Abu Dhabi

Photographer and videographer for ADIPEC 2026 in Abu Dhabi

ADIPEC is the energy week of the Gulf: four days at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi with national oil companies, service providers, technology suppliers and country pavilions. We photograph and film your stand (booth), signings, delegation visits and interviews, and deliver edited files within 24 hours. The crew is in the UAE for the Gulfood Manufacturing week in Dubai at the same time, so travel is shared.

ADIPEC is protocol-heavy. Ministerial openings, walkthroughs by national oil company leadership and scheduled country-pavilion visits set the rhythm of each day, and the signing of agreements in front of a backdrop is the image most exhibitors want first. The stands themselves are large, technical and often built with models, screens and simulators that need controlled light to photograph well.

We plan to be on site for ADIPEC 2026. Abu Dhabi is about ninety minutes by road from Dubai, and Gulfood Manufacturing runs at Dubai World Trade Centre in the same week, so the crew is in the UAE for several days and the travel share per exhibitor is small.

What we shoot at ADIPEC, and when

Day one, before opening. The stand clean: architecture, models, screens and simulators, technology exhibits and the meeting areas. Country pavilions are photographed as a whole and each co-exhibitor separately, scheduled in the same morning.

Days one to four, during show hours. Delegation visits and guided tours, signings with two angles, technical conversations at the exhibits, executive portraits in a quiet corner. For a planned signing, send the time and the names; we are in position early and deliver selected photos within the hour. We record short interviews with management, engineers and partners in English or Arabic.

Conference and evening. If one of your people speaks in the conference programme, we photograph and film from the audience where organiser rules allow. First selects and the day clip arrive the same evening, the full set and the recap film within 24 hours after coverage ends.

Booking from abroad, VAT and travel

ADIPEC exhibitors book from Europe, the US, Asia and the Gulf, and the process runs remotely: hall and stand number by e-mail or WhatsApp, a fixed quote within 24 hours, confirmation in writing. Invoices are in euro from a German GmbH. Companies registered outside the EU pay no German VAT; EU companies with a VAT ID are invoiced under reverse charge. Payment is by invoice or online by credit card; the details are in the quote.

Crew travel and hotel are quoted once per trip and shared between the exhibitors we cover in Abu Dhabi and Dubai during the same week, so your travel line is a share of one journey. Four to six weeks ahead is the comfortable lead time; a later request works if we are already in the UAE.

FAQ

Questions exhibitors ask about ADIPEC

How much does a photographer at ADIPEC cost?

€990 for two hours with at least 30 edited photos, a 30-second video and one vertical clip; €1,490 for four hours; €1,990 for a full show day with interviews. Plus VAT where applicable and a shared travel line.

We are a US service company. Do we pay German VAT?

No. Companies registered outside the EU receive a net euro invoice without German VAT.

How do you deliver within 24 hours from Abu Dhabi?

Footage is uploaded during the day and our editing team in Germany, two to three hours behind the UAE, edits while the show is still open.

Can you photograph a ministerial visit at our stand?

Yes, discreetly and within protocol. Tell us the expected time and we hold a position that does not block the route. Selected photos within the hour.

Which languages does the crew speak?

English, Arabic, German and Persian. Subtitles in English and Arabic.

How early should we book for November 2026?

Four to six weeks ahead, because the Abu Dhabi and Dubai week is planned around several exhibitors. Short-notice requests work if we are already in the UAE.

Do we need permission for a photographer on our stand at ADNEC?

For your own stand, the crew works under the exhibitor or contractor badges you issue. Filming in aisles, at other stands or in conference halls needs organiser media accreditation, which we request through you.
