Why Choosing a Local Camera Shop is Better for Printing Your Photos

When it comes to printing your photographs, it can be tempting to go with a larger company that may offer more convenience or cheaper prices. However, choosing a smaller, local camera shop like us can provide a number of benefits that you may not find with a larger company.

Time and Care

First and foremost, a smaller camera shop like us is more likely to take the time and care to properly handle and print your photographs. We understand the importance of your images and will work to ensure that they are printed to the highest standards. This is because we are not only a printing lab, but also a photography shop, so we know the care and attention that photographers put into their shots. We understand how important it is to get the best possible print, so we take the time to ensure that your images are printed correctly and to your satisfaction.

Our Printing Equipment

In addition to the care and attention that a smaller camera shop like us will give to your images, they also have access to better equipment. For example, we use Noritsu V30 for C-41 scanning and Ilford chemistry and Paterson equipment for Black and White. This means that your images will be scanned and printed using the latest technology, resulting in a higher quality print. With a larger company, you may not have access to the same level of equipment and technology, which can result in a lower quality print.

Another advantage of choosing us is that we offer a wide range of printing options. With a larger company, you may be limited to a few standard options, such as standard prints or canvas prints. However, we can offer a wider range of printing options, such as fine art prints, metal prints, or even 3D prints. This allows you to choose the best option for your image and your personal style.

Another advantage of Wanaka Camera Shop is the personalisation, we can help you select the best paper and finish for your images, and they can give you the right advice on how to get the most of your photos. They also have a good relationship with their customers, so they are more likely to be responsive to your needs and concerns.

Support Local

Finally, choosing a smaller camera shop like us also supports your local community. By choosing a local business, you are helping to support a small business owner and the local economy.

Choosing a smaller, local camera shop for your printing needs can provide a number of benefits over a larger company. They are more likely to take the time and care to properly handle and print your photographs, have access to better equipment and technology, offer a wider range of printing options, and offer personalized service. By choosing a local business, you also have the added benefit of supporting your local community.
