Photo & video for JAGD & HUND 2027 in Dortmund

JAGD & HUND is the largest hunting fair in Europe: six days in Dortmund with equipment, optics, clothing, firearms, hunting travel and off-road vehicles, plus dog demonstrations, birds of prey shows, a 4x4 off-road course and the German deer calling championship — and FISCH & ANGEL alongside. Here hunting dogs stand next to riflescopes, and both are photographically demanding: one moves, the other reflects.

Glass, wood, loden and fur

A riflescope or binocular is a tube of black metal with glass lenses — under hall lighting a dark cylinder with white reflections on which neither engraving nor coating can be seen. We photograph optics with a polarising filter and side light that draws the contour of the housing, and for detail shots look through the glass itself. Hunting firearms demand the same: dark metal, oiled wood, engravings visible only in raking light. Clothing in loden and camouflage is photographed on the form and worn, with light that does not pull greens and browns towards grey.

And then the dogs. A hunting dog on the stand, a puppy in the arms of a visitor, a pointer in the ring — we work without flash and with short exposures so animals are not startled and movement stays sharp. Shots with dog and product are the material shared most at this show.

Demonstrations and course

The show lives on its programme: dog demonstrations, birds of prey in flight, off-road vehicles on the course, deer callers on stage. If your brand sponsors a demonstration, has a vehicle on the course or a dog handler wears your equipment, we film at high frame rate for slow motion and cut vertical clips with your branding that go online on the show day. Statements from hunters, dog handlers and your team are recorded with radio mics.

Exhibitors from Austria, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and overseas — hunting travel operators, optics manufacturers, clothing brands — are briefed in English.

Weekday for products, weekend for crowds

Tuesday to Friday are the quieter days: time for product shots of optics, firearms and clothing with our own light, for team portraits and interviews. Saturday and Sunday bring the full halls, the families and the big demonstrations — the pictures that show your stand pulls a crowd. A four-hour package on Wednesday or Thursday covers product and stand; a full Saturday with product shots before opening covers product, crowds and demonstrations in one day.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does a photographer at JAGD & HUND 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 Dortmund is included.

Can you photograph optics without reflections?

Yes. We work with a polarising filter and side light that draws the contour of the housing, and photograph details such as engraving and coating in raking light. A riflescope then appears as a precision instrument, not a black cylinder.

Do you also photograph with dogs on the stand?

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

Which day is best?

Wednesday or Thursday for quiet product shots, Saturday for full halls and demonstrations. A full Saturday with product shots before opening covers both.

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.
