Our story

A family business. A Cardiff constant.

Our story began with Doug’s father, a professional photographer with his own studio. Doug went on to take over a camera shop, and our family’s connection with photography has continued ever since.

The names above the door have changed, from Camera Centre Cardiff through Photo Vision and Photo Market to Camera Centre UK. The independent spirit has stayed the same.

Today Doug’s sons, Nick and Terry, run the business, with Nick’s son Mason part of the Cardiff team. We help first time film shooters, students and experienced photographers alike.
