Photographing learning spaces and screens

At didacta exhibitors show classrooms, nursery furniture, interactive boards, lab equipment and learning software. Much of it is a screen — and screens in trade fair photos are often dark, striped or burnt out. We balance exposure between display and room and photograph software so the interface stays readable and your brand is recognisable in the picture.

With furniture and room concepts it is the overall impression that counts: colours, materials, ergonomics. We photograph model rooms empty before opening and then in use, with visitors sitting, reaching and testing. Both series together show school authorities what the room looks like and how it works.

Trying out, workshops and stage

didacta is a hands-on show. Teachers sit down at the microscope, tap the tablet, assemble the robot. These are exactly the moments we film for your social channels — short vertical clips in which a product is understood in five seconds. Where you run workshops on the stand, we document the session and participants, with consent and without disturbing it.

If your author or managing director speaks in the lecture programme, we photograph speaker and audience and, on request, record the talk with audio from the room's mixing desk. That gives you quotes for the website and newsletter and a recording you can send to education providers.

Five days including Saturday

didacta runs from Tuesday to Saturday. The weekdays bring head teachers, authorities and buyers with appointments; Saturday belongs to individual teachers and families and is correspondingly full. For clean stand and product shots we recommend the hour before opening on Tuesday or Wednesday; for pictures of a busy stand with lively trying-out, Friday or Saturday.

A four-hour package on one of the first days covers stand, products, conversations and interviews. The highlight video is ready in the evening, so your followers see it before they travel to Hannover themselves.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at didacta 2027 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 Hannover and any overnight stay are stated separately and transparently.

Are you allowed to photograph children and teachers on the stand?

Only with consent. We speak to visitors before they appear recognisably in frame and otherwise work with back views and hands on the product. For your own staff and invited testers we clear releases in the briefing.

Which day is best for the shoot?

Tuesday or Wednesday for stand, products and conversations with school authorities; Friday or Saturday if you want pictures of a full stand with lively trying-out.

Can you photograph screens without banding and reflections?

Yes. We match shutter speed to the refresh rate and choose position and light so displays stay readable. Software interfaces are additionally photographed head-on for your product pages.

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.
