First time visitor to the camera shop (wow, they still exist?)…read more Very large, clean, well organized and fully stocked store.

My high school photography teacher gave me my first film camera in 2018. It was a Pentax P30t and I…read morehad no idea how it worked. The only camera shop close by was Powell Camera so I came in and was immediately greeted with a smile and the shop "Employee of the Month." I grabbed a new battery, and bought my first roll(It was Portra 400). From there, it was all routine: shoot a roll, turn it in before 1pm on Tuesday to get it returned by the end of the week, ask what worked and what didn't get exposed correctly(which happened a lot my first year). Mark and Frankie fielded all of my questions and conversations with wisdom and grace, about the Mamiyas that cycled through the shop, about how to correctly use an off-camera flash on a film camera(though I've failed many a time), about how quickly film was coming back and how many new shooters began to pursue celluloid dreams. I'm not so close by anymore but I'll always remember what this place has given me and countless others. What Mark has left behind in Powell Camera is something that stands beyond its store walls. There's millions of memories here developed, scanned, printed, and returned all over. While I may have been just one of thousands of passing faces, Mark to me was a steward of the craft, someone so unforgettable and tied to the medium here that won't soon be forgotten. Now is no better time to support brick-and-mortar shops like this one. Shoot film, change the world, let light keep your memories tangible.

A friend of mine used to know the previous owners so recommended this place for camera repair. Then…read morewe found out it was bought out by the guy who runs the VERY small cluttered "shop." I understand they outsource their work but the "shop" was very unprofessional looking. The price was relatively cheap though so I took my chances. I turned in a professional Sony digital camera to get the screen fixed so we can see the pictures we were taking on display. That was July 31, 2014. I hadn't heard anything for a while so I called in to check the status. They had to order a part and we're waiting for it to arrive. A month plus passes and still no word so I call again. The part came but it was the wrong one so they had to order another one. Well, needless to say I went in to that store in December and picked up the camera (still not fixed!). I didn't have the credit card I used to put the $50 deposit down on it so the guy wrote us a check MINUS the 5% fee that HE was charged initially when I paid. It was less than a $3 fee and he was making a big deal about it. If it were me, and I was truly sorry and wanted my business again, I would've taken the less than $3 hit and paid the $50 deposit back in full. With my experience, I will never go here again nor recommend them. Communication was nil, I kept having to call. Im pretty frustrated that after 5 months they couldn't get the camera screen fixed.

Sandra helped us narrow down our idea for our engagement session. We got engaged in 2020 which limited a lot of the fun couples normally get to experience. We shot with Sandra in June of 2021 and it made our experience finally feel real! She made our love come to light and brought tears to my eyes. She selected two locations for us after we told her what we had in mind and it was spectacular. She has the most creative eye and is a true artist. She is easy to communicate with and is very clear in her pricing. She is incredible. I have made sure everyone that will listen knows Sandra Flores is who they need to capture their beautiful life moments. I look forward to many more sessions with Sandra!

In 1991, as a news photographer in Carpineria Calif. i was covering a major train…read morederailment....after shooting a few frames I suddenly felt symptoms of headaches and firefighters from Ventura County said I had been contaminated and exposed to a rocket fuel. This image by David Sprauge was in just about every newspaper in the world via Associate Press and Reuters. The image was also on the cover of the trades "The Hazards of News Photography". I had saved the photo from the magazine and really wanted a PROFESSIONAL + to mat and frame so I may put on my wall. Rick, at photoworks by Rick did an INCREDIBLE job. He carefully noted colors and literally created a work of art using the best archival materials available. The result is truly amazing. Thanks, Rick...you really are best photo framer on the planet. cheers , Terry

I had a very disappointing experience here…read more I brought in two rolls of 35mm film simply to have them developed (no scans or prints, as I have my own scanner at home). When I was told they don't offer "develop only," I said "that's a shame, no problem" and began to leave. Instead of ending the interaction there, the owner questioned why it was "a shame" and began explaining that there's "no money" in just developing film and that it's not worth it for him. He implied that I wasn't bringing enough business and suggested I should just learn to develop film myself. When I mentioned I already know how but don't have the equipment at home, he continued asking what lab I usually go to and what scanner I use, then laughed at my setup. At that point the conversation felt condescending and unnecessary. I was not upset that he doesn't offer develop-only services -- that's his right. What upset me was being made to feel like I was doing something wrong simply by requesting a service and being willing to pay for it. After the exchange escalated, he then offered to do the developing anyway, and eventually even said he would do it for free. By that point, the interaction had already become uncomfortable and argumentative, and I no longer felt confident giving him my business. A simple "we don't offer that service" would have been perfectly fine. Instead, the interaction became unprofessional and dismissive. I cannot recommend this shop based on how customers are treated. Also check out the response the owner Rick gave to my review on Google on the image attached. His response tells us far more about him as a person. 1. "We do not offer Dev. only and our website reflects that." This is deflection. My review already acknowledged that it's his right not to offer that service. That was never the core complaint. He's reframing the issue into something easier to defend -- policy -- instead of behavior. That's a classic move when someone doesn't want to address tone or conduct. 2. "Established 1998... devotion and love of photography..." That's credential shielding. When someone leans on years in business or passion as a defense, it usually means they don't want to examine how they handled a specific interaction. Longevity good customer service. 3. "The rest of your review is just a personal rant..." That's the tell. He didn't: Acknowledge my experience Apologize for any misunderstanding Say he's sorry I felt uncomfortable Clarify his intent Offer to make it right He labeled my review as emotional and dismissed it. That's ego protection. What this tells me about him * He takes criticism personally * He reacts defensively * He reframes instead of reflecting * He likely believes he did nothing wrong * He prioritizes being right over being relational Zero accountability in that response. A business owner with strong emotional intelligence would say something like: "I'm sorry the interaction came across that way. That was not my intention. While we don't offer develop-only services, I regret that the conversation felt uncomfortable." That would have neutralized everything. Instead, he escalated by calling it a rant. "because of a short, first time interaction". In business, first impressions are everything Mr. Rafik Keshishi.

If you're looking for a photographer to capture memories from all kinds of events, Sam Fu is the…read moreone to go with. My husband and I got married on October 10, 2025, at the Hilton Lake Las Vegas. As you may recall, it rained quite heavily around that time. We were supposed to have an outdoor wedding, but due to the rain, we ended up having an indoor ceremony. However, Sam Fu is a very considerate photographer. He planned his shooting schedule so that we could take our first look photos while the weather was still good, before it started raining at the outdoor venue where our floral arch and decorations were set up. He also took us around the hotel to take many gorgeous photos! No matter if it's an indoor or outdoor shot, a portrait or landscape, a close-up or full-size shot, you will be amazed by his gorgeous compositions. He will guide you through all the motions when you're lost, and everything will turn out very well when you see the photos! During the ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception, he captured all the touching moments, such as my husband and me entering separately, saying our vows, putting rings on each other's fingers, people toasting, crying, hugging, cutting the cake, and giving gifts. My husband is very picky. After seeing Sam Fu's work, he chose him over many other photographers. Now, my husband is proof. Sam Fu is a magician who can preserve all your good memories. Thank you Sam Fu! You're the best!

I was frustrated that I was unable to get a hold of anyone to receive my two photo books. My husband and I moved and lost the digital copy of our wedding photos. Finally after calling and emailing, I drove to their studio and found his sister home. She called him for me, we set up a date to view and select photos for our wedding book. This man has dealt with so much in the past two years! His wife (partner in the photography business) left him, shortly after he had a stroke, has gone to therapy to gain mobility, and has dealt with the issues his wife caused their children that she abandoned. She's still no where to be found. He has some good days where he remembers more, but most days he's very forgetful. He says within one month he has multiple strokes and he falls at any given time. It's amazing that he is still able to design my wedding book and create my wedding DVD album. I know there are reviews that he hasn't gotten back to anyone, that he hasn't completed what he promised. Please, continue to try to contact him, with a heart of understanding. I honestly wish he was well enough to take photos of our baby boy, I know without a doubt I'd hire him again! His work is beautiful!
