The two blokes who run the shop are really passionate about photography, full of advice not just on the products they sell but on where to go for other services such as processing. They also take a genuine interest in what you're working on, and if they're not able to help when you next visit they'll be full of questions about how you got on. Example stock - 35mm film, 120 film, wide range of papers to print onto, chemicals to develop - basically anything an analogue photographer could need. They're currently in the process of developing their own darkroom facilities, and rumour has it they may offer membership to those who're interested in using such a service. Eg - ME! Exciting! (Hurry up, I'm impatient! :)

Located on New Street, these photo and digital masters are a great addition to Birmingham city…read morecentre. They know everything there is to know on photography. I found they sell some very unique items that would make ideal gifts. For example, you can have your photo digitally produced on mugs & cushions. They also offer personalised photo frames, and what I really noticed was the frames collection with poetry inscribed! The personalised specialist service is only available in branch, not online I was told, however, you can email ideas and suggestions in, which is clever. Worth a visit for any photography enthusiast, and if you have any photo, imagery or digital needs, these offer a great and wonderful service.

Dunns are a professional print company, to the public if you go to their store near Cradley Station…read moreyou'll be greeted by a receptionist and thats it. This is mainly an online service with the option of picking prints up locally. I've seen prints done here and they are to a very high standard, they also offer book blinding and more novelty orders such as calendars and framing. Its sad this is all going on in the depths of a warehouse as you never get to speak to the people working behind the curtain without a reason, and you'll need a good reason too. Better off going online and using their software to create your order and submitting it there and then.

Between myself and my other half, we have quite a lot of camera equipment that cost us rather a lot…read moreof money. We know nothing lasts forever, but that said - we need to be able to rely on our equipment, and make it last as long as we can before replacing. Lots of places offer servicing of cameras - but normally they're mail order services where you post your camera off and cross your fingers it'll come back in one piece. (Yes, I'm paranoid!) We've been lucky as (touch wood) nothing serious has ever happened.. so as yet, we've just been in need of sensor cleans to get rid of those annoying bits of dust that can get trapped inside the body. That's where HPC comes in - when we discovered this local place where we can take the equipment and see who we're giving it to, it was a massive weight off our minds. Over the past few years we've regularly taken our cameras for sensor cleans here, and everything has always come back as good as new! Brilliant!

As you do, my partner and I both failed to do anything about getting our camera fixed for a long,…read morelong time.. But with our holiday fast approaching, we realised we had to get it fixed, quickly. I'd only heard good, if not brilliant things about John and the Halesowen Photo Centre, so I decided to head on down with my camera, having no idea why it was being so temperamental, to see if John could fix it. With over a week before we left, John politely asked if we were in a rush and to rate the urgency of the matter. Despite admitting it wasn't of the up most importance, he had it fixed in a few days and I collected it, yet to experience any problems four months later. Everything about this place is fantastic, anyone with a camera predicament, see John.

I use a lot of photo studios these days, but back when I was 15 it was pretty hard to find a studio…read morethat would let a young person use it freely. This was long before Fotofilia but the owner David Rann was the guy who first let me loose in a studio environment in his very first studio, and too this day one of the most upstanding professionals I know in the Birmingham photographic scene. Skip forward 7 years and here I am, still using David's studios, now known as Fotoflia. Fotofila is a studio/exhibition/photography education centre based in the Jewellery Quarter in Birmingham. Though simple it is all it ever needs to be. From the front door your are greeted by a constantly changing exhibition which expands into a separate room and the hallway that leads into the studio. The studio is where all the training sessions are also held, sometimes with live shoots. Fotofila offer courses to people at all levels and the prices are insanely good for how much time and effort David puts into his classes. Now the studio it's self is basic with a black and white background on roll and the room is set up for a few different sets but all you will be using is the rolls I imagine. Depending what your into Dave keeps a stock of costumes an a few props in the makeup/changing room. What I like about the space is that if your like me and use long telefocal lens's, the room is perfect to standing way back and sniping those perfect shots at 150m in. Everything can now be booked in advance online including classes and studio time. Check it out guys.
