Nordstil is the order fair of northern Germany for living, gifts, kitchen, jewellery and fashion. Retailers come to Hamburg in January to put together their range for spring and summer. We photograph your collection on the stand true to colour and in series — material for lookbook, online shop and the retailer newsletter that goes out right after the show.

A Nordstil collection consists of dozens of individual pieces: ceramic vases, candles, textiles, jewellery, porcelain. The retailer buys by colour and feel — and that is exactly where hall snapshots fail, because mixed lighting turns white yellowish and pastel grey. We work with a grey card, our own light and a small tabletop set on the stand. In two hours this produces 40 to 60 product shots with a consistent white balance that you can put into shop and catalogue without post-production.
We also photograph the stand styling: laid tables, dressed shelves, colour stories. These images show your retailers how the goods can be presented in store and are often the most convincing sales argument.
At an order fair the individual item matters less than the overall picture: retailers walking through the stand, picking up samples, filling in order pads. A 30-second clip from these scenes — with detail shots of the collection cut in — is the material you use on Instagram and in the retailer newsletter over the show weekend. We film in available light without interrupting conversations.
For exhibitors in the GenussGipfel we photograph bottles, packaging and tastings with backlight and reflection control — labels stay legible, glass stays clear.
Nordstil opens on a Saturday. Opening day and Sunday are the strongest order days; Monday is quieter and closes earlier. For product and stand shots we use the hour before opening on Saturday, when the styling is fresh and no samples have been moved yet. Conversations and stand life we film on Saturday morning or Sunday.
Two hours are enough for one collection and the stand, four hours for collection, stand life and short statements from your head of sales. Images are delivered within 24 hours — your follow-up mailing to retailers goes out on Tuesday.
40 to 60 product shots with consistent white balance in two hours — shop-ready.
Laid tables, shelves and colour stories as a presentation template for your retailers.
Bottles, packaging and tastings with legible labels and clear glass.
Stand architecture before opening on Saturday, with no visitors in frame.
30 seconds of stand life and collection details for Instagram and retailer newsletters.
Statements from your head of sales and selected retailers with radio mics.
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.
