Photo & video for bauma 2028 in Munich

bauma takes place only every three years and fills halls and a large outdoor area with construction machinery, building material machines, mining equipment and construction vehicles. At that size a single stand easily disappears into the grounds. We photograph your machines so size, function and brand stay recognisable, and film them at work. Send us your stand (booth) location and we plan the rest.

What we produce for exhibitors

🏗️

Machine portraits

Excavators, cranes and wheel loaders with wide angle, our own light and a polarising filter — size and brand stay legible.

⚙️

Details & attachments

Buckets, hydraulics and cabs in a series of their own for brochure and product page.

🎬

Machines at work

Driving, lifting and digging from several positions, as a 30-second highlight and social media clips.

📷

Stand overviews

Shots in the early morning hours, while grounds and stand are still empty.

🎤

Interviews

Statements from sales staff and customers with radio mics, in German or English, with subtitles.

🌤️

Outdoor area

Shots in hard light and dust, planned with a polarising filter and the right time window.

Scale, dust and motion

A construction machine is the opposite of a shelf exhibit: a dump truck, a crawler excavator or a mobile crane is several metres high, often stands on gravel or crushed stone and cannot be captured as a whole from close range. On the outdoor area, dust, hard sunlight and weather come on top; in the halls it is mixed lighting and tight aisles. We work with a wide angle from a raised position, wait for the moment when people and vehicles move out of the frame, and use a polarising filter so paintwork and hydraulic parts keep their colour.

Details such as bucket teeth, hydraulic cylinders, cabs and attachments are shot in a series of their own. They show what the machine can do and sit next to the large views in your brochure and product page.

Machines at work

At bauma, demonstration is part of the concept: machines drive, lift, dig and tip. On video that is the strongest scene a stand can offer. We film travel and working cycles from several positions, record engine and hydraulic sound, and cut a 30-second highlight plus social media clips from it. In addition we shoot short statements from your sales team with a radio mic, in English as well for international customers.

The organiser laid out bauma 2025 with halls A1–A6, B0–B6 and C1–C6 plus the outdoor areas south, centre and north. The site plan for 2028 has not been published yet; once your stand number is fixed, we plan walking routes and light windows around it.

Seven days, one window per machine

With seven show days a plan pays off. Clean stand overviews and machine portraits are made early in the morning, when the grounds are empty and the sun is low. Conversations, customer visits and demonstrations follow. If you have demonstrations at fixed times, tell us the hours and we will be in the right place. A weekend day brings more visitors onto the grounds, a weekday more technical conversations on the stand.

Because the next bauma is not until 2031, the material from this week is your proof of presence for three years. Plan machine portraits, team and customer voices in a single booking.

We bring our own equipment, follow an agreed shot list and work discreetly, without interrupting conversations or demos. A first selection is ready while the show day is still running.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at bauma 2028 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 Munich and any overnight stay are stated separately and transparently.

Our machine stands outside on gravel — how does that look on camera?

We choose a raised viewpoint, wait for a clear view and use a polarising filter and low morning light. That keeps paintwork, hydraulics and logo recognisable, even with dust.

Can you film a demonstration at a fixed time?

Yes. Give us the time and position of the machine and we set up several cameras and cut the demonstration into a short film.

Which of the seven days works best?

For clean machine portraits, a weekday early in the morning. If you want full aisles and many visitors, a weekend day is the better choice.

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.
