Photo & Video Coverage: Capturing the Essence of Your Event
A congress or a trade show only lasts a few days, but its impact must endure for months. The professional photos and videos I produce become strategic assets for your post-event communication: website, social networks, commercial brochures, annual reports, and sponsorship dossiers.
Full Event Coverage: Your Session’s Energy in Images
Your event lives, breathes, and interacts. I capture the dynamics that drive your congress or trade show. From speaker presentations in the Amphithéâtre 3000 to participants discovering your innovations, live demonstrations, and constructive exchanges during breakout sessions.
My discreet yet proactive approach allows me to blend into the atmosphere of your event while remaining alert for key moments. I document the activity from all angles: wide shots showing the attendance in the auditorium, medium shots highlighting interactions between participants, and close-ups revealing the details that make the difference.
Each image tells the story of your success and proves to your sponsors, prospects, and partners that your event is a must-attend date in your sector.
Group Photos: Uniting Your Teams and Partners
An event is also an opportunity to gather your teams, celebrate partnerships, and immortalize the presence of VIPs on your stand. The group photos I create are not just static shots, but portraits that reflect the cohesion, pride, and professionalism of your collaborators.
Whether it is a small organizing committee, a full team photo of your entire delegation, or a shot with your keynote speakers, I compose harmonious images where everyone is showcased. These photos strengthen your teams' sense of belonging and demonstrate the strength of your collective.
They are also valuable for your internal communications: annual reports, newsletters, professional social networks, and contribute to valuing your employees' engagement.
Event Video: Dynamic Footage for Your Digital Communication
While a still image captures a moment, video tells the story. I produce video captures that bring your event to life: plenary sessions, practical workshops, demonstrations, testimonials from satisfied participants, and the general atmosphere of your spaces.
Depending on your needs, I can provide raw footage ready to be edited by your communication team, or produce a complete highlight video of your day or event. This video content has become essential for energizing your social media, enriching your website, and maintaining audience interest between editions.
Short formats for LinkedIn, Instagram, or X ; long formats for YouTube or your website: I adapt my shooting to your distribution objectives to maximize the impact of your video content.
Focus Stacking: Sharpness on Every Level
Your equipment embodies your expertise. It deserves impeccable technical presentation. The focus stacking technique I use during your events provides exceptional depth of field, impossible to achieve in a single shot. (From an optical standpoint, such a photo simply cannot exist otherwise).
By combining several photographs taken with different focus points, I create images where every detail of your equipment, from the foreground to the background, appears perfectly sharp. This technique is particularly suited for scientific congresses and technical trade shows where the complexity of your devices must be visible and understandable.
The result? Visuals that highlight the quality of your equipment and offer new communication perspectives. These images become powerful sales arguments for your catalogs and website.
Live Photo Studio Animation: Attract and Engage Your Visitors
In a congress or trade show where dozens of exhibitors compete for attention, how do you stand out?
My live photo studio transforms your stand into an unforgettable experience that generates qualified traffic and creates a strong bond with your visitors.
Professional Photo Studio Installed on Your Stand
I set up a genuine professional photo studio directly on your booth: premium photographic backdrop, multi-point studio lighting, and high-end equipment. This installation instantly transforms your space into an attraction that intrigues and draws in visitors.
The setup is designed to integrate harmoniously with your scenography while remaining visible enough to create a draw. Visitors are naturally attracted to this unusual proposal, which sets you apart from traditional automatic photobooths.
The studio becomes a commercial argument in its own right: it positions your brand as innovative, attentive to the visitor experience, and ready to invest in offering something exceptional.
Live Professional Portraits: A Premium Souvenir for Your Prospects
Every visitor who passes by your stand benefits from a portrait taken by a professional photographer.
Unlike automatic photobooths that produce standardized results, I direct each shot to obtain a portrait that showcases the individual with a natural pose, an authentic smile, and crafted lighting.
These professional-quality portraits are printed immediately in 10x15 cm or 15x20 cm formats. The visitor leaves with a genuine branded gift that they will keep, perhaps display in their office, and which will remind them of your company and your generosity long after the event.
It is a gift with high perceived value, far superior to a pen or a USB stick, and it creates a lasting positive emotion associated with your brand.
Staff-Visitor Interaction Photos: Creating Connections
Beyond simple individual portraits, I also offer to photograph your sales reps with their prospects and clients. These interaction photos capture the moment of connection, the handshake, and the smiling exchange between your team and your visitors.
These images create a unique shared memory.
For the visitor: It is a concrete testimony of their visit and the quality of the welcome received.
For your sales team: It is a valuable relationship follow-up tool: "Hello Mr. Smith, here is the photo we took together during the congress. I am following up regarding your project..."
This approach humanizes the commercial relationship and facilitates post-event follow-up by creating a natural and warm pretext for re-contacting.
Live Printing: The "Wow" Effect that Generates Traffic
Instant printing creates a spectacular effect. Visitors see their photo come out of the printer just seconds after the shot. This immediate gratification generates enthusiasm, smiles, and conversations.
The viral effect is powerful: visitors leave with their photo in hand, show it to their colleagues in the aisles, and talk about it. "Did you see the stand with the real photographer? They're offering professional portraits!" Your stand becomes a talking point, a destination, and an attraction.
This organic word-of-mouth generates a constant flow of qualified visitors who specifically come to discover your stand, curious about this original animation, and discover your products and services at the same time.

Why Choose a Professional Photographer for Your Event at the Lyon Convention Centre?
Measurable ROI: Content That Works for You After the Event
A congress ends, but your investment must continue to produce results. The professional photo and video content you obtain becomes lasting assets for your communication.
These visuals feed your social media for months: LinkedIn posts highlighting your event presence, Instagram stories showing behind-the-scenes, YouTube videos documenting your expertise. They enrich your website, illustrate your newsletters, and energize your sales presentations.
Every use of this content extends the visibility of your event and continues to generate interest, inquiries, and business opportunities. The cost of a professional photographer quickly pays for itself when you measure the value created by this infinitely reusable content.
Furthermore, the database of qualified contacts built through the photo studio animation (with GDPR consent) becomes a valuable commercial asset for your sales teams.
Premium Brand Image: Stand Out
In the demanding environment of a congress or trade show where your image matters, your visual communication must be impeccable. Professional visuals immediately position your organization as a serious, high-quality player that takes care of its communication.
Conversely, blurry smartphone photos, poorly framed with mediocre lighting, send a negative message about your standards. In certain B2B sectors where trust and credibility are essential, these details can make the difference.
The photo studio animation on your stand also sends a strong signal: you are an organization that innovates, dares, and invests to offer an exceptional experience. This premium perception reflects positively on your entire offering.
Event Expertise: Technical Mastery Adapted to Constraints
Photographing at a congress or professional trade show requires specific skills. Conference room lighting is often mediocre and creates color casts that are difficult to correct. The environment is dense, with space constraints that limit framing possibilities.
The pace is intense:
- You must be reactive to capture key moments.
- Know how to anticipate highlights.
- Work quickly without disrupting the activity.
- Professional discretion is essential so as not to disturb speakers during their presentations.
My proven experience at major events at the Lyon Convention Centre — from the Lumière Festival to medical congresses, trade shows, and corporate seminars — allows me to navigate these demanding environments effectively.
I know the constraints, I anticipate difficulties, and I adapt in real-time to guarantee professional results regardless of the conditions. My high-end professional equipment (fast lenses, cobra flashes, video stabilizers) is specifically chosen to perform in difficult conditions and guarantee consistent image quality.
