Nobody sells a device at DKM. What counts is trust, faces and conversation. So our focus is on people: your sales team talking to brokers, your board on stage, the atmosphere of a stand where something is happening. We photograph wide open and without flash, so conversations are not interrupted and the images look natural rather than posed.
Added to that are the shots your marketing department needs all year: team portraits in consistent light, the stand before opening, your logo in the hall. These pictures replace stock photos in brochures and on LinkedIn — with real colleagues instead of models.
DKM lives on its congress programme. If your board member or product expert speaks on a stage, we photograph speaker and audience from several positions and, if you wish, film the entire talk — audio straight from the mixing desk, so you have a recording for your distribution partners and short quotes for social media.
Tuesday is the stronger day. We recommend a full day on Tuesday: stand shots and team portraits before opening, then conversations, stage programme and interviews. On Wednesday two to four hours are enough for late appointments. Highlight video and first images are delivered on Tuesday evening — your post goes live while the show is still running.
Consultation and networking on the stand — wide open, no flash, no interruption.
Consistently lit portraits of your sales team, right on the stand — a year's worth of stock-photo replacement.
Speaker and audience from several positions, the talk filmed in full with desk audio on request.
Architecture, logo and lighting before the doors open, with no visitors in frame.
30-second recap and vertical clips for LinkedIn, cut on the show day.
Receptions and stand parties in available light — atmosphere instead of flash.
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.
