Products and animals in one picture

A saddle on a stand is a product photo. A saddle on a horse being stroked by a visitor is content people share. At Hund & Pferd exactly these moments happen on every stand — if someone is there who reacts fast enough. We photograph with short exposures and wide open, without flash, so animals are not startled and the pictures look natural.

The clean product shots — food ranges, equipment, displays — are taken before opening with our own colour-neutral light so packaging colours are right. Then comes the stand with visitors, consultations and sales.

Shows and demonstrations

The show lives on rings and stages: breed show, agility, riding demonstrations. If your brand sponsors a demonstration or a brand ambassador appears, we film it at high frame rate for slow motion and cut vertical clips that go online the same day — the format shared most in this audience.

Three days — our recommendation

Friday is quieter and suits product and stand shots. Saturday brings the full halls. A full day on Saturday covers both: product shots before opening, then visitors, animals, consultations and shows. If you only need a short presence, book four hours on Saturday morning.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at Hund & Pferd 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 Dortmund is included.

Do you also photograph with animals on the stand?

Yes. We work without flash and with short exposures so animals are not startled and movement stays sharp. Shots with animal and product are the most valuable material at this show.

Which day is best?

Friday for quiet product shots, Saturday for full halls. A full day on Saturday with product shots before opening covers both.

Can you film the demonstration we sponsor?

Yes. We film at high frame rate for slow motion and cut vertical clips with your branding that can go online on the show day.

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.
