6 years of Photodom. What started as an idea I had back in college has become a real destination — a place for photographers who wanted more than just a camera shop.
Along the way, we’ve hosted workshops and classes that brought people into the studio, into the craft, and into each other’s lives. That community is everything this was supposed to be about.
Building this as a Black business owner in Brooklyn came with real challenges especially in spaces that weren’t built with us in mind. But every step forward made Photodom stronger and more rooted in who we are.
To the team, past and present — thank you for pouring yourselves into this. To our customers — thank you for showing up, trusting us, and building this with us.
Here’s to 6 years, and to year 7. 📸
