Trade show photography is one of the best ways to capitalize on the events your company hosts or attends throughout the year. Any type of trade show, convention, or special event is all about showing off new products, breakthrough technology and exciting company growth. Our professional trade show photography is perfect for creating stunning displays, providing additional company exposure, and doubles the benefits from one event by creating marketing material for years to come.

Exhibit, Display and Booth Photography

You only have a few precious days to display all your hard work and you want it to pay off in a big way. Exhibit photographers can help with every angle, every detail, and every moment of your event.

Create a Stunning Booth: Trade show photography is the best way to make your logo jump out of the booth and make an impact on the audience. Professional photographers can use images to create an eye catching, stylish trade show display. From a small kiosk to a multi-story exhibit, photography displays make a big impact. Draw attention from across the room with something that is beautiful and exciting. The best trade show designers have a background in both photography and design to help you look your best.

Keep it Forever: The time and money involved in the design, preparation, and building process can be extensive and we ensure that your exhibits, display, and booths for tradeshows and conventions are the start of the show. Sure, you can snap a few shots from your phone and put them on Facebook yourself, but having a photographer on your side gives you the peace of mind knowing that your event will be documented beautifully. Professional photography also gives you the ability to use the photos later in posters, billboards, or other oversized productions.

Company Exposure  

Whether you are hosting or attending, corporate events are designed to create exposure for you and your company. There are numerous ways you can utilize event photography in creative ways to increase exposure, capitalize on your investment and get more for your money.

• Photography Giveaways: If you have a celebrity or models coming to your tradeshow, ask for permission to have a few photos taken to give away as prizes. Some photographers will have the ability to print photos on the spot, which gives you an option to offer autographs.
• Company Portraits: Use the trade show as a great opportunity to get both group and individual photos of your staff looking their best. These photos can be used in the office and on marketing materials.
• Gifts: Prints can be given out as a thank you gift with a follow-up letter to extend the value of your event.
• Prints: Prints of your event can be displayed in offices and hallways, added to annual reports, company yearbooks and social media to empower your team to work together and add a professional edge to your brand.
• Brand Awareness: Spread your brand by using social media platforms to go live at your events. Post, tag, tweet, share, and spread the word with beautiful images that show off your brand to thousands of followers.

Marketing Material

Getting the perfect picture isn’t always easy. Just because everyone has a camera phone doesn’t make everyone a photographer and if you plan to use photos in future promotional materials, they need to be high enough quality to enlarge and print in a variety of ways.

We have both trained photographers and state of the art equipment that only come with experience to understand the needs of the client and make your best side shine.

Choosing A Trade Show Photographer

Trade show and convention photography is not wedding photography, and it is important to remember that not every photographer can do everything. Conventions may have a key note speaker, meet-and-greets, awards, and other coinciding aspects of one event you want to capture at the same time. When selecting a photographer, you must find one that is familiar with handling the demands of producing oversized, exciting, captivating and crystal-clear trade show images. Before hiring, look for the following credentials:

1. Knowledge of Photoshop.

Because you want to use these photos in printed marketing materials, you need to find someone who has a strong knowledge of Photoshop so the images look perfect.

2. PDF Portfolio

They should have a strong portfolio of recent conventions. Not weddings or graduations or family photos. The portfolio should have a mixture of general photos of the event as a whole, opening reception images, as well as group and candid photos. If the portfolio is a general company portfolio, be sure to get the name of the actual photographer who took those images.

3. Equipment

Ask about backup equipment in case something goes wrong. Trade shows can be stressful and include lots of changes, so ask about having plenty of backup equipment and vehicles when necessary to ensure you won’t have to worry about any type of last minute liability.

4. Image Size

Because trade show photography should be larger than life, you want to ensure the photographer’s raw images are large enough to print as big as you’d like. The size of the digital file should be at least 12, preferably 16 or more megapixels. The digital image should be a raw file that has does not need to be compressed to avoid pixilated images. A large, raw photo is the best way to create an image that is sharp and beautiful.

5. Color Profiles

An experienced trade show photographer should be able to attach a color profile to the digital images, which allows you to select and print the true color. This is essential for brand awareness and makes it much easier to accurately color match your website and collateral materials seamlessly.
