At NEWCAST foundries exhibit their products: castings in iron, steel, aluminium and magnesium, from engine blocks to delicate investment castings. Visitors are design engineers and buyers looking for a supplier. We photograph your parts so surface, wall thickness and precision can be read — and show the people behind them.

Photographically a casting is the opposite of a high-gloss product: matt, often dark surface, fine textures from the moulding material, machined faces next to raw ones. Under hall lighting it becomes a grey lump without depth. We set up a small product station on the stand — neutral background, raking light that brings out cast texture and edges, and for machined faces a second light with a polarising filter so the difference between raw and milled becomes visible.
Consistency matters: if you show twelve parts, you get twelve shots from the same perspective and in the same light. That way the images work side by side in the catalogue, in a grid on the website and in the quotation folder for the buyer who met you on the stand.
NEWCAST visitors are looking for a supplier, not a single part. So alongside the exhibits we photograph what builds trust: your team in conversation with design engineers, material samples and certificates, sample parts with machining marks, the stand as a whole. Short interviews with a radio mic — managing director or head of sales, two sentences on manufacturing depth — are delivered with subtitles, in English too.
If you present in the NEWCAST Forum or are nominated for the award, you get stage and audience from several positions; award ceremonies are filmed in full on request.
Many NEWCAST exhibitors have customers who are in Düsseldorf because of GIFA. Monday and Tuesday are therefore the densest days; we reserve the hour before opening for product and stand shots without visitors. A four-hour package on Monday or Tuesday covers product range, stand overview and first conversations. If you also want interviews and team portraits, book a full day or add two hours on Thursday.
Because the next NEWCAST is not until 2031, the material should last four years: every part you intend to offer in that time belongs in this session.
