Photo & video for Arbeitsschutz Aktuell 2026 in Stuttgart

Arbeitsschutz Aktuell is the trade fair for safety and health at work, organised by HINTE Expo & Conference — in 2024 more than 230 exhibitors took part, and in 2026 the whole show fills hall 1. Protective gloves, high-visibility clothing, fall protection or respiratory equipment only show their value on a person; we photograph your products in use, your live demos and your conversations with safety professionals.

Protective equipment only works on a person

A protective glove on a shelf is a glove. Only on a hand holding a cutting edge does it show what it is made for. That applies to almost everything at Arbeitsschutz Aktuell: high-visibility clothing, safety shoes, hearing protection, harnesses, respirators, fall arrest systems. So we photograph your products worn and in motion — on your staff, on demonstrators and, with permission, on visitors trying the equipment at your stand (booth).

Technically that means: retro-reflective stripes without flash, so they do not overpower the whole picture; fluorescent yellow and orange in true colour instead of tipping into neon; natural skin tones even under cool hall lighting. For catalogues and tenders we add clean product shots with label, standards marking and workmanship details.

Live demos, Safety Trails and stages

Arbeitsschutz Aktuell lives on demonstrations: drop tests on fall protection, exoskeletons while lifting, extinguishing demos, measuring instruments in use. We film these moments from two perspectives, cut a 30-second highlight for LinkedIn and deliver vertical clips with which your sales team reaches safety officers in companies. Statements by your product managers or your safety specialist are recorded with a wireless microphone and delivered with subtitles.

If your company speaks on the EXPO Stage, in the Praxiskonferenz or in one of the hazardous-substances seminars, we photograph talk, audience and panel — pictures that trade associations and accident insurers like to use in their reports.

Three days, every two years

Arbeitsschutz Aktuell takes place only every two years. Your material from Stuttgart therefore accompanies two years of sales, tenders and social media — and replaces staged catalogue photos with real pictures of real safety professionals at work.

Tuesday is opening day; the show is open from 9:00 to 17:00 on all three days. Wednesday brings the densest technical conversations and suits conversation pictures and interviews. For stand overviews without visitors we use the time before opening; Thursday is quieter and good for worn product shots with your team and for portraits. You receive the highlight video and first images on the evening of the shooting day.

For exhibitors

Arbeitsschutz Aktuell 2026: what exhibitors should know for photo and video

Arbeitsschutz Aktuell takes place entirely in hall 1 at Messe Stuttgart from 20 to 22 October 2026, open 9:00 to 17:00 daily. These formats from the organiser HINTE matter for your shoot.

Everything in one hall

Stands, stages and experience areas are all in hall 1. Walking distances are short, so stand shots and a talk by your team fit comfortably into the same time slot without dead time in between.

EXPO Stage in 20-minute slots

The EXPO Stage runs compact 20-minute talks. That suits short-form video: record the whole slot, then cut two or three key statements into vertical clips for LinkedIn.

Silent Stage with headphones

The Praxiskonferenz runs as a silent stage, with the audience listening on headphones, so there is almost no room sound to record. Arrange an audio feed in advance or put a wireless microphone on the speaker.

Safety Trails and Live Experience Areas

Four themed visitor routes, for example PPE and workwear or exoskeletons and robotics, steer visitors to relevant stands. In the Live Experience Areas people test solutions in context. Both give you pictures of products actually in use.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at Arbeitsschutz Aktuell 2026 cost?

From €990 plus VAT for two hours of photo and video on site with at least 30 edited images and a 30-second highlight video. Four hours from €1,490, a full show day from €1,990. Travel to Stuttgart and any overnight stay are stated separately and transparently.

Our high-visibility clothing reflects strongly — how do you avoid blown-out stripes?

We photograph without flash and in available light, so reflective stripes remain visible without dominating the picture. Fluorescent colours are matched on the stand so yellow and orange look like the product.

Can visitors trying our equipment be in the pictures?

Yes, if they agree — we ask briefly and respect every no. For catalogues we also recommend shots with your own team, which you can use without restriction.

We show a fall arrest system with a drop test — will you catch the moment?

Yes. We coordinate the timing with your demonstrator, shoot with short shutter speeds and film in parallel, so the arrest is visible in both photo and video.

Do you work in English?

Yes. Interviews, briefing and the entire engagement run in English — a large share of our trade fair clients come from outside Germany. Invoices with VAT ID for EU companies, no German VAT for companies outside the EU.
