Photo & video for Fastener Fair Global 2027 in Stuttgart

Fastener Fair Global is the leading trade fair for fastening and fixing technology: in 2025 around 1,000 exhibitors from 40 countries showed screws, nuts, rivets, anchors and manufacturing technology in four halls to some 11,000 trade visitors from 84 countries. Small, shiny metal parts in large numbers are photographically tricky — we photograph your products so that thread, coating and head shape are recognisable, and your stand as a meeting point for an international audience.

Small parts, lots of shine, large quantities

A screw is a difficult subject. It is small, it shines, and a stand holds a thousand of them. Zinc-plated, nickel-plated and bright surfaces mirror the hall lighting so thread and head shape vanish in reflections; black phosphated parts sink into shadow, stainless steel tips into blue. We photograph fasteners with soft side light and controlled white balance, in macro for thread, drive and coating and in groups for ranges — so that distributors and buyers recognise what they are buying.

With special parts and assemblies we show the part in context: the blind rivet nut in the sheet, the anchor in concrete, the fixing in the component. And for exhibitors with manufacturing or testing technology — cold formers, thread rollers, sorting machines, tensile tests — we photograph machine and product together, with legible display and open guarding.

An international audience on video

Fastener Fair Global is a trading fair with visitors from 84 countries; conversations take place in English, Italian, Turkish and Chinese. We film your stand as a walk-through, your products in close-up and short statements by your management or export sales with a wireless microphone — in English if you wish — and cut a 30-second highlight for LinkedIn plus vertical clips for your distributors in Europe and Asia that work without language.

If you travel in from abroad, our service is available entirely in English; we invoice with VAT ID for EU companies or without German VAT for companies outside the EU.

Three days in April, every two years

Fastener Fair Global takes place every two years; the next edition after 2027 is in 2029. The material from Stuttgart therefore accompanies two years of catalogues, website, trade shows in other countries and social media. Tuesday is opening day with a high international share; Wednesday brings the most technical conversations and suits conversation pictures and interviews. Thursday is quieter and good for product shots with time for lighting and for team portraits.

Stand overviews without visitors are taken before opening. You receive the highlight video and first images the same evening, the complete material within 24 hours.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at Fastener Fair Global 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 Stuttgart and any overnight stay are stated separately and transparently.

Our products are shiny small parts — how do they become usable pictures?

With soft side light, a macro lens and controlled white balance so thread and coating are visible instead of disappearing in reflections. A few sample parts we are allowed to arrange deliberately help.

We are a manufacturer from Italy or Turkey — does everything run in English?

Yes. Briefing, interviews and the engagement are available in English; many of our trade fair clients come from abroad. We invoice with VAT ID for EU companies or without German VAT for companies outside the EU.

Which day works best?

Wednesday for the most technical conversations and interviews, plus the time before opening for clean stand shots. Thursday is quieter and good for product shots and team portraits.

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.
