Video and Photography at Gastrónoma 2026, Feria Valencia: Stands, Cooking Demos and Contests
I’m Marcos Pérez, and I film and photograph stands, cooking demos and contests at Gastrónoma 2026, the Mediterranean Food Fair, from 26 to 28 October at Feria Valencia. I work with food producers, wineries, bakeries, distributors and hospitality equipment makers, and also with chefs, pastry chefs and baristas who don’t exhibit but cook, compete or speak on one of its ten stages. I’ve spent three years creating content for hotels, restaurants and food events and I’ve filmed previous editions of Gastrónoma, so I know how visitors move between the bars, the tastings and the main kitchen stage. Video and photography rates for Gastrónoma 2026: from €199 for a 15-second video and €150 for a 10-photo pack, travel to Valencia included and delivery in 24 to 72 hours.
Gastrónoma 2026: Monday to Wednesday, with "The voices of the sector" as its theme
Gastrónoma holds its eleventh edition from 26 to 28 October at Feria Valencia, with two changes: it now runs Monday to Wednesday and has a new hall layout. The organisers announce more than 250 exhibitors, over 200 speakers and more than 28,000 m², with ten stages including the Cocina Central L’Exquisit Mediterrani, the Fórum Be Sweet, El Aula, Wine Experience, Entreolivos, Pan de verdad, the Espacio Mediterráneo and the new Coffee Hub. This year’s theme, “Las voces del sector” (the voices of the sector), puts front-of-house transformation, team wellbeing, generational change and new ways of communicating on the table.
With a theme devoted to the people who work in dining rooms and kitchens, it makes sense for your video to include what your chef, your winemaker or the restaurateur tasting your product in front of the stand have to say. I film those statements alongside the tasting so your brand has real voices to show afterwards on social media, on your website and on every sales visit.
I filmed the videos on this page at previous editions of Gastrónoma for KM0 SlowFood, Parber (bakery and pastry equipment), the artisan cheesemaker 11grados, Ibéricos Langeal and JNS International Group with Ben Vol Gut Vermut and Restinga Gin, plus cooking demos by chef Carlos Julián and by Atún Fuentes. You’ll also see work for Fierro, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Valencia, and for Ad Olivetum, ComoEnCasa and Cuinats Jotri at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona.
Mediterranean product photography: rice dishes, cheese, Iberian ham and pastry
I photograph your product with the detail a head chef or buyer looks for: the grain of the rice, the rind of a cheese, the marbling of Iberian ham, the layers of a puff pastry. On the stand I combine the hall’s light with portable lighting, and I adjust colour in editing so each product looks the way it reaches the table.
Cooking demo, tasting and product videos for food and drink brands
There are three lengths: a 15-second clip of a plated dish or a toast, a 30-second piece with product and preparation, or a 45 to 60-second video presenting your range. Each video comes edited and in HD, vertical or horizontal, free to use and invoiced to your company. It’s made for Instagram, LinkedIn, your website and meetings with distributors and restaurant groups. I apply the same stand video and photo rates as at IFEMA and Fira Barcelona.

Stand, tasting and contest photos at Gastrónoma
I photograph what happens in your space across the three days: the product on the bar, the tastings, your team at work and visits from chefs and buyers. If you enter a contest or give a talk, I cover that too. For each pack I pick the best shots, edit them and deliver them in high resolution, free to use and invoiced to your company, for social media, catalogues, product sheets and the food press.

Images that keep you on restaurateurs' and distributors' minds after the show
Content for the dining room, the kitchen and buyers
I edit each piece for the channel it will be seen on: reels for Instagram, clips for LinkedIn and horizontal versions for your website or a distributor meeting. It shows what decides an order: taste, origin, kitchen performance and presentation on the plate.
A selection on the day of your contest or cooking demo
The full set arrives in high resolution, and you can use it with no expiry date. If you're competing in the MMAPE, the National Cooking with Wine Contest or the barista contest, ask for a first selection that same day and post it while the show is still open.
Coverage at Feria Valencia, travel included
I cover the stand from start to finish: the product on the bar, live cooking, restaurateurs stopping by for a taste and talks with distributors. If you like, I add short statements from your chef, your winemaker or your sales director, very much in line with this year's theme.
Material that works all season
What you film at Gastrónoma keeps working in restaurant and hotel prospecting, on your website, in your catalogue and in pitches to purchasing groups. I invoice your company and, if you work with an agency, I hand the material over in the format they use.
Preparation videos that show your product in a cook's hands
A restaurateur decides when they see how your product performs in a real kitchen. So I plan the video as a short preparation: the raw product, the key step and the finished dish, with a couple of lines from whoever is cooking. At Gastrónoma that could be a rice dish in the stand’s kitchen, bread fresh from the oven or a coffee served at the bar. Your sales team can send it by email or WhatsApp to the contacts they made at the show.
Reels and brand pieces for wineries, bakeries, coffee brands and foodservice
From a single day I cut short clips for social media and a longer piece for your website or newsletter. The first thing we agree on is who each one speaks to: head chefs, pastry chefs and bakers, sommeliers, baristas, restaurant owners, foodservice distributors, or end consumers if your brand also sells in shops.
Product still life and portraits of your spokespeople
Alongside stand coverage, I can set up clean-background still lifes of your products in a quiet corner, plus portraits of your chef, your master pastry chef or your winemaker. Use them for press releases, product sheets, catalogues and food and hospitality media, shot the same day with no separate studio session.
How I plan filming at a show full of tastings and cooking demos
Before the show you send me the schedule of tastings, cooking demos and contests, and we choose which moments deserve close-ups. If a tasting or cooking demo runs several times a day, I film the first one in full and use the others for details: hands, the cut, wine pouring into the glass. At peak hours I work from the side so nobody misses a taste.
FAQ
Questions from Gastrónoma 2026 exhibitors
Can you film my team at the MMAPE or the National Cooking with Wine Contest?
Yes, as long as the contest organisers allow filming from the public area. Before the show we confirm the time of your round, and I prepare a short piece with the preparation, the plating and the moment the result is announced. It works for social media, your press release and your website, with royalty-free use and an invoice to your company.
Do you also film away from the stand, at Entreolivos, Wine Experience or the Coffee Hub?
Yes. If your brand runs a tasting, a workshop or a talk on any of Gastrónoma’s ten stages, I film it and combine it with your stand coverage in a single booking. Send me the programme with the times and I’ll plan the day to cover both.
How can I use the "voices of the sector" theme in my stand video?
With short statements from real people: your chef, your winemaker, a distributor or a restaurateur tasting your product. I film two or three lines from each of them alongside the tasting and edit them with footage of the stand, in a 30-second or 45 to 60-second piece depending on how many voices you want.
Is travel to Feria Valencia charged separately?
No. Rates are the same as at IFEMA and Fira Barcelona, with travel to Valencia included: from €199 for a 15-second video and from €150 for a 10-photo pack. I invoice your company, and the material is yours to use with no time limit.
Gastrónoma runs Monday to Wednesday. Which day should I book?
The day something happens on your stand: a cooking demo, a tasting with guests, a product launch or your slot in a contest. If all three days look alike, Monday gives you more time to post while the show is still open. Book early, because I only cover one stand per time slot.
Can you deliver something on the day so I can post it during Gastrónoma?
Yes. If you ask when booking, I’ll send a first selection of photos and a short clip a few hours after filming, so you can post while the show is still open. The rest, edited and in high resolution, arrives within 24 to 72 hours.
