NDV Media | Event Photography & Reportage | Milan, Italy – 5 November 2026
There are events that bring together an entire industry, and then there is EICMA. Every year, Milan becomes one of the world’s most important meeting points for motorcycle enthusiasts, manufacturers, professionals and everyone who shares a passion for two wheels.
On 5 November 2026, I had the pleasure of spending an entire day at EICMA Milano, the 83rd International Two-Wheeler Exhibition, held at Fiera Milano Rho. Attending with an official Press Pass, I had the opportunity to explore the exhibition, photograph some of its highlights and, above all, meet many familiar faces along the way.
It was a day full of motorcycles, photography, conversations and encounters.
EICMA 2026: A world of two wheels
EICMA continues to demonstrate why it holds such an important position in the international motorcycle industry.
The 2026 edition reaches a new milestone in the exhibition’s history, bringing together 754 exhibitors and 2,120 brands from 52 countries. With more than 300,000 square metres of exhibition space, the event offers an impressive overview of the present and future of two-wheel mobility.
Walking through the exhibition halls means discovering an extraordinary variety of motorcycles, from superbikes and naked machines to adventure bikes, scooters and innovative mobility solutions.
Major manufacturers, specialist companies and emerging brands all contribute to an environment where technology, design and passion meet.
But EICMA is much more than a motorcycle exhibition. It is also an opportunity to experience the atmosphere of an industry that continues to evolve, attracting people from all over the world.
Beyond the motorcycles: The people who make EICMA special
For me, one of the most interesting aspects of EICMA has always been its people.
The exhibition models play an important role in the visual identity of the event. Their presence, personality and interaction with the motorcycles help create the atmosphere that visitors encounter throughout the exhibition.
As a photographer, this is naturally an aspect I particularly enjoy capturing.
During the day, I photographed several models across different exhibition stands, surrounded by some of the most interesting motorcycles presented at the show.
From powerful sports bikes to striking new designs, every setting offered a different photographic opportunity.
Some images were built around the contrast between the models and the motorcycles, while others focused more on expressions, poses and the atmosphere of each stand.
The result is a photographic collection that brings together motorcycles, fashion, beauty and the visual energy of EICMA.
Familiar faces, friendships and moments behind the camera
There is also a more personal side to my experience at EICMA.
Among the many models I photographed during the day, several were familiar faces and friends I have had the pleasure of meeting and working with over time.
These encounters always make an event more enjoyable.
Beyond the photographs, there are conversations, smiles and moments of genuine connection. Sometimes, meeting someone you already know in the middle of such a large international exhibition makes the experience even more memorable.
For me, photography has never been exclusively about the final image. It is also about the people, the relationships and the experiences that happen along the way.
And EICMA 2026 offered plenty of those moments.
A photographic look at EICMA Milano 2026
I wanted to bring together a selection of my favourite photographs from the day, focusing particularly on the exhibition models and their interaction with the motorcycles.
The gallery includes different brands, settings and personalities, with each photograph offering its own interpretation of the event.
From the striking colours and designs of the motorcycles to the elegance and character of the models, this collection represents my personal photographic perspective on EICMA.
Every image is part of a day spent exploring, observing and capturing the atmosphere of one of the most important events in the international motorcycle calendar.

Until the next EICMA
EICMA remains an extraordinary event, not only for the motorcycle industry but also for photographers, media professionals and everyone who appreciates the combination of design, technology and human creativity.
I am glad to have been part of the 2026 edition, camera in hand, meeting old friends and discovering new faces along the way.
A special thank you to all the models who made the day even more enjoyable, and to everyone I had the pleasure of meeting during the exhibition.
See you at the next one!
