R+T is the world-leading trade fair for roller shutters, doors, gates and solar shading and takes place only every three years: in 2024, 1,017 exhibitors and 61,155 visitors came to Stuttgart, 81 percent of them in management positions. Awnings that extend, doors that open, slats that tilt — your products reveal themselves in motion, and that is exactly how we photograph and film them.

A closed roller shutter is a surface. A retracted awning is a cassette. Only in motion do the products at R+T show what they can do: the folding-arm awning extending under motor power, the sectional door running up silently, the external blind tilting its slats, the pergola opening its roof. We photograph the moment of movement with short shutter speeds and in several positions — closed, halfway, open — so your catalogue later shows the function and not just the product.
The materials are photographically demanding: powder-coated aluminium in anthracite and white that reflects the hall lighting, awning fabrics with fine stripes prone to moiré, glass and stainless steel on pergolas and doors. We choose angles and white balance so anthracite stays anthracite, fabric colours are right and profiles keep their edges. Plus details for the trade: drive, guide rail, end cap, control, weather sensors.
No product at R+T explains itself better in a picture than on video. We film the complete travel of your awning, door or shutter from two perspectives, plus close-ups of drive and control, and cut a 30-second highlight for LinkedIn as well as vertical clips your dealers and installation companies can use in their own channels. A statement by your product manager or managing director with a wireless microphone is delivered with subtitles.
If your product is nominated for the R+T Innovation Award or the Future Skins Award, or your company speaks at the Archikon congress, we photograph ceremony, talk and audience as well.
R+T takes place only every three years; the next edition after 2027 is not until 2030. The material from Stuttgart is therefore unusually long-lived: it accompanies three years of catalogues, dealer training, website and social media. Few fairs justify the investment in good pictures so clearly.
Monday is opening day with the Innovation Award and a lot of press; Tuesday to Thursday bring the densest trade conversations and international visitors — the days for conversation pictures and interviews. For stand overviews and product runs without visitors we use the time before opening. Friday is quieter and suits team portraits. You receive the highlight video and first images on the evening of the shooting day.
Closed, halfway, open — the function in several positions, slats and profiles with clean edges.
Fabric colours without moiré, folding arms and roof in motion, anthracite stays anthracite.
Sectional, roller and industrial doors in travel, drive, control and sensors in detail.
Your stand before opening, every product in the desired position, no visitors in frame.
The complete travel from two perspectives, cut to 30 seconds for LinkedIn and the trade.
Product managers and management with wireless microphone, 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.

Yes, at R+T that is the core. We photograph several positions with short shutter speeds and film the complete travel from two perspectives, so catalogue and video show the function.
We know the issue and choose distance, focal length and resolution so stripes are rendered cleanly. For critical patterns we take a control shot directly on the stand.
Especially then. The material from Stuttgart accompanies three years of catalogues, dealer training and website until the next R+T in 2030.
