Innovation in a Historic Setting: NFON’s Frankfurt Roadshow at Jagdschloss Platte
Maintaining a consistent brand narrative across multiple cities requires more than just logistics; it requires a deep understanding of the client’s vision. In September 2023, after successful stops in Hamburg and Munich, our team arrived in Frankfurt to document the third leg of the national NFON roadshow. As a dedicated event photographer and videographer team in Frankfurt, our goal was to translate this unique architectural atmosphere into a compelling corporate narrative.
Professional Event Photography at Jagdschloss Platte: Where Heritage Meets Tech
The venue for the Frankfurt event was a showstopper. Jagdschloss Platte is a historic hunting lodge that combines neoclassical ruins with a breathtaking modern glass roof. For a cloud communication leader like NFON, this architectural blend of old and new provided a perfect visual metaphor for digital transformation.
"The lighting inside the Jagdschloss is a photographer’s dream and a technical challenge at the same time," says our photographer, Yana. "The vast glass ceiling floods the historic stone walls with natural light, creating a dramatic backdrop for the keynote speeches. My goal was to capture the scale of this 'open-air' feeling while keeping the focus on the intimate interactions during the workshops. The contrast between the rugged stone and the high-tech setup made every shot look cinematic."
Dynamic Event Videography: From Deep Dives to Workshops
The Frankfurt agenda was packed with energy, following a strategic flow from knowledge-sharing to celebration. Our event videographer focused on capturing the "red thread" of the day:
Strategic Sessions: We documented the high-stakes Keynotes and specialized Breakout Sessions where the company’s latest communication innovations were unveiled.
Interactive Workshops: Capturing the "thinking process" is key. Igor focused on the collaborative energy during the afternoon workshops, filming the hands-on engagement that defines a forward-thinking corporate culture.
The Human Element: A particular highlight was the guest inspirational lecture. Our mission was to capture the authentic reactions — the laughter and the 'aha!' moments — that show a team truly connected and engaged with the speaker’s message.
The Grand Finale: Sunset and Celebration
As the formal awards concluded, the atmosphere shifted. The Jagdschloss transformed into a vibrant party hub.
"When the sun started to set through that glass roof, the whole mood changed," Igor explains. "We transitioned from corporate storytelling to high-energy event filming. With the DJ set and the party in full swing, my focus was on the movement and the joy of the team. Having covered the previous cities, I knew exactly which moments to look for to ensure the Frankfurt footage perfectly complemented the roadshow's visual style."
Core Task: Documenting the contrast between historic architecture and modern tech culture, workshop engagement, and the awards ceremony.
