Heim+Handwerk is southern Germany's largest consumer show for living and furnishing: five days, around 785 exhibitors together with the parallel FOOD & LIFE, and visitors who come to buy. Wood, fabric, high-gloss kitchens and crafts made in front of the visitors. We photograph and film your stand so your online shop, your showroom and your Instagram feed live off it for a year.
All prices plus VAT · delivered within 24 hours · max. 4 exhibitors per show day · See all packages & details

At Heim+Handwerk the surface is what counts: the grain of a solid wood table, the weave of a wool fabric, the lacquer of a kitchen front. Under hall lighting oak turns grey and high gloss becomes a mirror for the ceiling lamps. We work with side light that shows texture, and with polarising filters and positions that keep kitchen fronts and glass calm. Lamps are photographed switched on with adjusted white balance, so warm light stays warm and the surroundings stay neutral.
What sets this show apart is craft made live: joiners, upholsterers, potters, glassblowers at the workpiece. We photograph those hands with short exposures and without flash — the images that move people most on Instagram and in your workshop brochure.
A consumer show has what no trade show has: people who touch, sit down, take advice and buy. That is exactly what we show — your advisers recognisable in conversation, visitors from behind or out of focus, so nobody ends up in the foreground unasked. For artisan makers with their own online shop we additionally photograph products against a neutral background right on the stand.
On video, craft works best: 30 seconds of plane, needle or wheel in vertical format, plus your stand team in conversation. A short statement on what sets your furniture apart from mass production is delivered with subtitles — to post while the show still has five days to run.
Wednesday and Thursday are the quieter days: free aisles, time for clean stand and product shots from 8:30 before opening. Friday, Saturday and Sunday the hall fills up — atmosphere, busy stands, buying conversations. We recommend a four-hour package on Friday: stand and products in the morning, public and live craft from midday.
If you prefer to separate the two, book two hours on Wednesday for product shots and two hours on Saturday for atmosphere. Heim+Handwerk is held annually; the material carries you through to the next edition.
Side light for grain and texture — oak stays oak, wool stays wool.
Fronts and glass without ceiling-lamp reflections, lamps switched on with correct white balance.
Hands at the workpiece with short exposures and no flash — joiners, upholsterers, glassblowers.
Stand and lighting before the 9:30 opening, with no visitors in frame.
Your advisers recognisable, visitors from behind or out of focus — atmosphere without privacy issues.
Short statements from your owner or master craftspeople with radio mic, 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.
