Used Gear
Outdoorphoto is a well-known and trusted buyer and reseller of used photographic gear. You will find everything from entry-level to professional cameras and lenses – even used accessories like lights, camera flashes and video gear. We also have an alternative option. Trade in your used gear and upgrade to new gear, or bring in your gear for us to sell on your behalf.
Rentals
If you’re not interested in buying new gear, or maybe need some extra gear for a shoot, ODP Rentals offer a wide variety of photo and video cameras, lenses, studio equipment and on-location accessories from all of the top brands in the industry.
Workshop Space
We’ve recently introduced a beautiful open space available to photographers and brands who wish to use a safe facility for workshops, photographic shoots and meetings. It can comfortably host up to 20 guests depending on the seating arrangements and studio/photo setup.
RAW
Coffee has always connected photographers. With the addition of our coffee shop, RAW Coffee, there’s now an even stronger force that connects Outdoorphoto clients and coworkers. Nestled between the Outdoorphoto and Art of Print, we aim to create a cosy and modern space to meet up and snack on something fresh while talking photography and printing. Our Barista Percy also bakes the most delicious cheesecakes and his breakfasts are amazing!
Fujifilm SmartPrint
While enjoying a smooth cup of coffee, we urge you to take advantage of our Fujifilm SmartPrint Lab. Simply use the Print a Photie app to print straight from your phone to our printer and collect them in-store when ready. You can even order your prints from home and then come and collect whenever you’re in the area.
Blogs
We want to keep the community alive and inspire photographers of all walks of life to explore, experiment and create more. That’s why we offer you advice with regards to gear, “How To’s” and interviews with industry leaders as well as inspirational, feel good blogs to keep that fire alive.
Our biggest goal is to simply create a fun, educational environment for like-minded content creators. Whether you’re a newbie vlogger or a seasoned professional wedding photographer, we’re here to help you with all of your photo and video needs.
