SINCE 1971

We've been the store for photographers. We work hard to find the best gear, oversee every detail, and invest in the people - from amateur to professional - that bring photography to life.

West Photo has you covered, from what camera to choose to what paper to print your photos on. We'll handle from your simplest to most advanced photography needs. We carry the full line of DSLRs and Mirrorless cameras from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and Fujifilm; and we have the expertise to help you select the model that best suits your shooting style. Our professional quality lenses and accessories help you complete any system perfectly.

We carry strobe and continuous lights to fit the style and budget of any photographer, from on location to in the studio. Different situations require different lighting solutions. We have softboxes, umbrella and bounce reflectors to fit most any light. To hold those lights you'll need stands, booms, clamps, sandbags and more. We've got it all. Come visit us!
