We served Toronto's professional photographers and photo enthusiasts for thirty five years. As their needs changed so did we. One thing that never changed is the priority we placed on quality service, be your medium of choice digital or non-digital. With that in mind we had an extensive rental department with professional cameras and lighting for both the digital and analog customer.
We had unparalleled colour selection of cored seamless, a wide range of EpsonĀ® ink jet papers and cartridges, lighting and camera filters, and all manner of accessories.

We thank all that have done business with us and that we could help with your photographic ambitions.

Not to be too sentimental, but for my own trajectory, a huge part of me having an opportunity to work professionally is to your credit. No hassle rentals, fair prices, advice without motive - these are things you visit good stores to experience. I want to stress the impact that your culture and policies have made on a city of fledgeling artists and small business owners, and it's something that I've tried to carry on to others who show interest in the analog...
