Event photography and video at Exhibition halls during build-up

Build-up is the day or two before a show opens, when stands are constructed and the halls are full of contractors, forklifts and work lights. It is also the best time to plan a stand shoot and to photograph a custom build clean for the stand builder.

Exhibition halls during build-up, event venue in the UAE
The venue

Spaces and how they are used

The same halls as show days, but unlit in places, noisy and without carpet in the aisles until the last hours. Access is on contractor badges with high-visibility vests and closed shoes required by the venues; some organisers restrict photography to the exhibitor's own stand during build-up.

Production notes

Light, sound, access and timing

Light. Work lights and partial hall lighting; stand lighting is switched on late in build-up, which is when the clean shot for the builder is taken. Sound. Not a time for interviews. Access. Contractor badge, vest, closed shoes; the walk-through takes fifteen minutes. Timing. The last evening of build-up, after the stand is finished and before the aisles are carpeted, is the builder's photograph; the morning before opening is the exhibitor's.
