Bottles, glass and little light

At Bar Convent Berlin stands are deliberately dark: bar lighting, backlit shelves, candles. For the camera that means high sensitivity, a wide aperture and a photographer who does not destroy the mood with flash. We work with available light and add only spot fill, so bottle and label are legible and the stand looks the way it does for your guests.

Bottles and glassware are the second task. They mirror every light source in the hall. We choose position and angle so label and liquid are visible without distracting reflections, and additionally photograph your range as a line-up against a calm background on the stand — for price lists, distributor decks and your online shop.

Tastings, drinks and bartenders on video

A drink comes together in 30 seconds — exactly the length of the highlight video we deliver on the show day. We film your bartender mixing with attention to hands, ice and pour, vertical for Instagram and LinkedIn and horizontal for your website. Tastings and masterclasses on the stand are documented without interruption, focusing on reactions and conversation.

If your master distiller or brand ambassador speaks on one of the stages, we photograph talk and audience and take audio from the mixing desk on request. Short statements from bartenders and importers in different countries, recorded with radio mics, are the material your sales team uses to approach new markets.

Three days — Monday and Tuesday until 19:00

Monday and Tuesday run until 19:00 and bring the most trade visitors and importer appointments; Wednesday closes at 17:00 and is quieter. We recommend a four-hour package on Monday or Tuesday, starting in the hour before opening for clean stand and range shots, then tastings, conversations and interviews. If you need the evening mood with a full counter, place the time window in the late afternoon.

The highlight video and a first selection of images are ready in the evening — your post goes live while the show is still running.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at Bar Convent Berlin 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 Berlin and any overnight stay are stated separately and transparently.

Our stand is deliberately dark — does that work without flash?

Yes. We photograph at high sensitivity and wide aperture in available light and add only spot fill so labels stay legible. The mood of your stand is preserved.

Which day is best for the shoot?

Monday or Tuesday: the most trade visitors, opening until 19:00 and the hour before opening for range and stand shots. Wednesday is quieter and suits team and product sessions.

Do you also photograph our range for the online shop?

Yes. We photograph your bottles as a line-up against a calm background right on the stand, in consistent light and angle. For cut-out product shots we recommend a separate studio session.

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.
