Photo & video for electronica 2026 in Munich

electronica is the world's leading trade fair for electronics: around 3,400 exhibitors from almost 60 countries and some 80,000 visitors, every two years in Munich. What is on show is small and hard to photograph — semiconductors, connectors, circuit boards, power modules, test equipment with screens. We photograph components so engineers can read packages and contacts, and film your stand while your customers are standing on it.

Components smaller than a fingernail

A connector, a chip in a QFN package, an SMD capacitor: electronica exhibits are tiny, mostly black plastic that swallows light, with gold-plated contacts that mirror it. Under hall lighting what remains is a dark speck. We bring a macro rig with our own light and a neutral background to the stand and photograph whole product families in the same setup — images that belong together in data sheet, distributor shop and catalogue.

Populated circuit boards, power modules with heatsinks and cable assemblies are photographed in side light so solder joints, markings and component heights are legible. On request we add a shot with a scale or in the hand that makes the size immediately clear.

Displays, demos and four show days

Almost every stand has oscilloscopes, evaluation boards and screens running a demo. We match shutter speed to refresh rate so traces and menus come out without banding or flicker, and film demos as short clips: signal on, reading appears, board responds. These 15-second sequences are what application engineers later drop into webinars and product pages.

electronica is international: exhibitors from almost 60 countries, visitors from more than 100. We conduct interviews with your field application engineers and customers in English or German, with radio mic and subtitles in both languages.

Every two years — when to book us

Tuesday and Wednesday are the strongest days; Friday closes at 15:00 and is quieter. We recommend a four-hour package on Tuesday or Wednesday: the hour before opening for stand architecture and product ranges, then demos, conversations and interviews. For large stands with several product areas a full show day makes sense.

Because electronica is held only every two years, the material stays current until the next edition in 2028 — and because we take on no more than four exhibitors per show day, the Tuesday and Wednesday windows go early.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at electronica 2026 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.

We show components of a few millimetres — can you do that on the stand?

Yes. We bring a macro rig with our own light and a neutral background and photograph a whole product family in the same setup in about 20 minutes. The images match across data sheet and distributor shop.

Can you photograph oscilloscope and display readouts without banding?

Yes. We match shutter speed to the refresh rate of the device and film demos at a suitable frame rate. Traces, menus and readings stay legible.

Which of the four show days is best?

Tuesday or Wednesday: the most technical conversations, and the hour before opening for clean stand shots. Friday closes at 15:00 and suits team and interview sessions.

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.
