CMS Berlin exhibits drive. Scrubber-dryers, sweepers and autonomous cleaning robots do their rounds on demonstration areas — on wet floors that mirror the hall lighting. We photograph with short exposures in the rhythm of the demonstration, from a low viewpoint, so machine and cleaning result sit in the same frame: still dull on the left, already clean on the right.
Chemicals, cloths, workwear and dosing systems need a different light: even, true to colour, without reflections on bottles and film. We photograph ranges as a line-up against a calm background on the stand, with a polarising filter, so labels and colour codes stay legible — material for catalogue, online shop and tender documents.
A cleaning machine explains itself on video. We film demonstrations with a gimbal and high frame rate, follow the machine across the floor and show brush head, squeegee and tank in detail shots. With autonomous robots we film navigation and obstacle detection so the sequence is understood in 30 seconds — as a highlight for LinkedIn and as a longer sequence for dealer training.
Digital facility management shows on screens. We photograph dashboards in conversation, with a legible interface and your consultant in frame. Short statements from site managers and buyers in building cleaning, hospitals or hospitality are recorded with radio mics — delivered with subtitles, in German or English.
The first two days bring the decision-makers from building cleaning, facility management and public institutions with appointments. We recommend a four-hour package on Tuesday or Wednesday: the hour before opening for clean stand and machine shots on a still-dry floor, then demonstrations, conversations and interviews. Thursday and Friday are quieter and suit team and range shots.
CMS takes place only every two years. The material from September 2027 supports your sales team until 2029 — in tenders, in the dealer portal and at regional events.

A post with your stand while the show is still running gets seen and shared. That is why every package includes finished photos and video within 24 hours after the event ends — first images usually the same day. Two revision rounds included.
A sample from our production: the event recap for your website and LinkedIn — below it, native 9:16 footage for Reels, Shorts and Stories, shot in parallel with the main coverage.

Yes. We photograph with short exposures in the rhythm of the demonstration and choose the viewpoint so the reflection of the wet floor shows the result rather than distracting. Demonstrations are additionally filmed with a gimbal.
Tuesday or Wednesday: the decision-makers with appointments and the hour before opening for stand and machine shots on a dry floor. Thursday and Friday suit team and range sessions.
Yes. Bottles, canisters and cloths are photographed as a line-up against a calm background right on the stand, in consistent light and with a polariser. For cut-out product shots we recommend a separate studio session.
