Video and Photography at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026: Stands, Cooking Demos and Talks
I’m Marcos Pérez, and I film and photograph stands, cooking demos and talks at Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026, from 2 to 4 November in Hall 1 at the Gran Via venue. I work with food producers, distributors and hospitality equipment makers, and also with brands and chefs who have no stand but cook or speak in the Auditori, the Taller or the Forum Lab. I’ve spent three years creating content for hotels, restaurants and culinary events, so I know what a chef or a foodservice buyer looks for: the product on the plate, its texture, the cook’s hands and the conversation that turns into an order. Video and photography Gastronomic Forum 2026 rates: from €199 for a 15-second video and €150 for a 10-photo pack, delivered within 24 to 72 hours.
Gastronomic Forum Barcelona 2026 moves to Gran Via
This year Gastronomic Forum Barcelona leaves Montjuïc for Hall 1 at Fira de Barcelona’s Gran Via venue, from 2 to 4 November. The 2025 edition closed with 350 exhibitors, 17,800 trade visitors, over a hundred cooking demos and talks, and 50 chefs holding 52 Michelin stars between them. The whole restaurant supply chain is there: food and drink, kitchen and refrigeration equipment, pastry and bakery, tableware, uniforms and software. The 2026 theme is “Revisiting tradition”, and the programme runs across the Auditori, the Taller and the Forum Lab, alongside spaces such as El Rebost de Catalunya and the Aula Makro.
At a live-cooking show, half the interest happens in front of the stand: olive oil tasted with bread, a ham being carved, a guest chef plating your product. Those minutes don’t come back, but once they’re filmed, your sales team can show them on every restaurant visit for the rest of the year.
I filmed the videos on this page at previous editions of the show for Horl, Caviar del Tíbet, TPB Tech with chefs Xavier Pellicer and Carles Flinch, Salomon FoodWorld, Bodega Atavus, Ad Olivetum, The Butcher Society and 20 Bananas, among others.
Food photography of products, plated dishes and tastings
I photograph your product the way the person cooking it would see it: the cut, the shine, the steam, the crumb, the pack next to the finished dish. On the stand I work with the hall’s light plus a small lighting kit so the colour of the food stays true, which is the first thing that gives away a rushed trade-show photo.
Cooking demo and product videos for food and hospitality brands
There are three lengths, from a clip of one plated dish to a piece presenting your full range. Filming, editing and HD delivery in vertical or horizontal format, with royalty-free use and an invoice for your company. Ready for Instagram, LinkedIn, your website and pitches to distributors and restaurant groups. To compare with other shows, see all my video and photo rates for stands at IFEMA and Fira Barcelona.

Images that help you get onto menus and into kitchens
Content made for chefs and buyers
Each piece is edited for the channel it will be seen on: reels for Instagram, clips for LinkedIn and horizontal versions for your website or a meeting with a restaurant group. It shows what drives the decision: taste, performance in the kitchen and presentation.
A first selection on the day of your cooking demo
You receive everything in high resolution with no usage expiry. If a chef cooks on your stand or you enter a product for the InnoForum Awards, ask for a selection that same day and post it while the show is still open.
Coverage in Hall 1 at the Gran Via venue
I film what happens on your stand: tastings, live cooking, visits from restaurateurs and conversations with distributors. If you like, I add short statements from your sales director or the chef who works with your product.
Material that keeps selling until next season
The show content keeps working in restaurant prospecting, on your website, in next season's catalogue and in pitches to purchasing groups. I invoice companies and work alongside your agency if you already have one.
Recipe videos that show how your product works in a kitchen
A cook is won over by seeing what your product can do in their kitchen, more than by a spec sheet. So I plan the video as a short recipe: the raw product, the preparation and the finished dish, with a quick explanation from whoever is cooking. You can then send it to every restaurant that left a card at your stand.
Reels and brand pieces for food, drink and foodservice
I edit short clips for social media and longer videos for your website or newsletter. Before filming we decide who each one speaks to: chefs and head cooks, restaurant owners, hotel buyers, foodservice distributors, or end consumers if your brand also sells in shops.
Product still life and portraits for the food press
Alongside stand coverage, I can shoot clean-background still lifes of your products and portraits of your spokespeople or the chef who works with you. They’re made for press releases, product sheets, catalogues and food and hospitality media.
How I plan filming around your tastings
Before the show we fix the schedule of tastings and cooking demos and decide which dishes deserve close-ups. I film the full preparation once and use the repeats for detail shots. When the aisle fills up I step aside so I don’t block anyone who wants a taste.
FAQ
Questions from Gastronomic Forum Barcelona exhibitors
Can you film the guest chef cooking on my Gastronomic Forum stand?
Yes, with their permission and yours. Tell me when they cook and I’ll film the whole preparation, the plating and a line from them about your product. That kind of piece works best afterwards with restaurateurs, because it shows your product in the hands of a recognised professional.
How do you make food look good under exhibition hall lighting?
I bring portable lighting and use the corner of the stand with the cleanest light for the dishes. I correct colour in editing so meat, fish or bread look as they really are. With food, a greenish or dull tone makes nobody want to try it.
Can I use the material for an InnoForum Awards entry?
Yes. If you’re presenting a new product, I’ll prepare clean product photos and a short clip explaining what it’s for, useful for the entry and for announcing the result. Anything you need that day can be ready in a few hours; the rest arrives within 24 to 72 hours.
Is this the first edition at Gran Via? Does it change anything for filming?
Yes, in 2026 the show moves from Montjuïc to Hall 1 at the Gran Via venue. Filming isn’t very different, but it’s worth checking the floor plan beforehand to see where your stand sits relative to the Auditori and the Taller, where most visitors move.
Can I use the videos on digital menus or my clients' screens?
Yes. The material is yours to use with no time limit on your website, social media, catalogue, point-of-sale screens and anything you share with hospitality clients. I issue the invoice to your company.
My brand is exhibiting all three days. Can I book just one?
Yes. Many brands pick the day of their cooking demo or a launch. The show runs on 2, 3 and 4 November, so book the day that matters most to you early, because I can’t be on two stands in the same time slot.
