Photographer & Filmmaker Patrick Schmetzer
I photograph and film for companies, hotels and couples. For more than twelve years.
Photographer and filmmaker in Frankfurt and the Rhine-Main region
For more than twelve years I have photographed and filmed for companies, hotels, restaurants and private clients: corporate events and concerts, weddings, portraits, food, products, interiors and architecture. Stills and film come from one hand — the same visual language for the photographs and the trailer that goes with them, in the studio as well as on location.
I am based in Rüsselsheim am Main, between Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Mainz. Most of the work happens here in the Rhine-Main region — bookings across Germany and internationally are possible.

Photographer & Filmmaker
I have been a photographer and filmmaker for more than twelve years.
Believing in my own potential is what fuels my creative energy and the drive to turn ideas into something real. Photography and film let me show everyday things as something worth looking at twice. That attention to detail runs through every project I take on.

Frequently asked questions
- Corporate events and concerts, weddings, portraits, food, products, interiors and architecture — for companies, hotels, restaurants and private clients. Stills and film come from one hand: the same visual language for the photographs and the trailer that goes with them, in the studio as well as on location.
- I am based in Rüsselsheim am Main, between Frankfurt, Wiesbaden and Mainz. Most of the work happens here in the Rhine-Main region — from Darmstadt and Hofheim to Hanau and Bad Homburg. Bookings across Germany and internationally are possible; hotels, editorials and events have led to Hamburg, Berlin, Cologne, Zurich, Dublin, Santorini and Marbella.
- By phone Monday to Friday from 10:00 to 18:00, Saturdays from 12:00, closed on Sundays. Shoots themselves are possible seven days a week, in the evening and on public holidays — and at short notice, as long as the day is still free: in an emergency the same day, with a few hours’ warning and an offer to go with it.
- There is no single answer — a number that fits a hotel walkthrough, a corporate event and a portrait at the same time would be the wrong number for all three. Every project is quoted on its own: the inquiry states the scope, the offer states the price, and both are settled before anything is photographed or filmed. A session starts at 250 euro plus VAT; day rates and package prices are quoted on request, matched to the scope, the usage rights and the date. Every inquiry is without obligation.
- Not inside the inner zone of the Rhine-Main region. In the outer circle it is a flat 25.00 euro; beyond that, 0.55 euro per kilometer plus the same flat fee. From 250 kilometers an overnight allowance is added.
- Via WeTransfer, Dropbox, Picdrop or Frame.io, as a password-protected link on request. The link is valid for three months by default and can be used as often as you like in that time; extended storage can be booked alongside.
- What the pictures are for is a field on every inquiry and therefore part of the agreement before anything is photographed — website, social media, catalog, menu, press or something else. Usage rights are one of the things the price hangs on, which is why they are stated in the offer.
