CPhI Worldwide — today CPHI Frankfurt — is the meeting point of the pharmaceutical supply chain: 2,400 exhibitors and 67,000 participants from 166 countries at the last Frankfurt edition. Most exhibitors travel in from India, China, Europe and the USA and have no machine on the stand, but a team and a portfolio. That is exactly what we photograph and film — in English, delivered before your flight home.

An API manufacturer has no exhibit on the stand. It has a team, a wall of certificates, product lists, perhaps sample vials and a model of the plant back home. What a buyer should take away from this presence is trust: a clean stand, competent faces, full meeting schedules. So at CPHI we photograph people above all — your team in consistent light as a portrait series, meetings at the tables without flash and from a distance, the busy stand from an elevated position.
For packaging, machinery and lab technology exhibitors there are product shots as well: blister lines, filling systems, analytical instruments in directional light so stainless steel and displays stay legible. Sample vials and capsules we photograph with a macro rig against a neutral background.
The real value of show pictures comes after the show: in the email to the buyer in Boston, in the sales director's LinkedIn post, in the presentation at the next audit. We film short statements from your management and your technical leads with radio mics on the stand — two minutes on capacity, approvals, supply capability — and deliver them with subtitles in landscape and vertical format. A 30-second highlight of the stand shows your customers worldwide that you were in Frankfurt.
Briefing, interviews and engagement run in English; for companies outside the EU we invoice without German VAT.
Tuesday is the day with the most pre-arranged meetings and the busiest stand; Thursday gets quieter from midday. For stand overviews and team portraits we use the hour before opening, then come meetings and interviews. A four-hour package on Tuesday or Wednesday covers stand, team, meetings and two statements. Images and video are delivered in the evening — if you fly home on Thursday, the finished material is in your inbox before then.
Consistently lit portraits of your sales and technical team, right on the stand — for website and LinkedIn.
Conversations with buyers and partners — wide open, no flash, from a distance.
Vials and capsules in a macro rig, packaging and lab systems in directional light.
Architecture, certificate wall and lighting before the doors open, with no visitors in frame.
30-second recap and vertical clips for LinkedIn, cut on the show day.
Management and technical leads with radio mics, in English, delivered with subtitles.
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.
