• About Us

Founded in 2005, Photogear has grown into one of New Zealand’s leading destinations for all creative needs. The range of products, services and advice continues to expand based on customers feedback and imagination.

At the heart of Photogear's philosophy and approach is the absolute belief that Photogear exists to solve problems for customers. This approach is supported by a “never say no” attitude and a thirst to continually expand the skills, services and products needed to further the customers creative and business desires. This philosophy has resulted in Photogear becoming the go-to place for an increasing number of NZ creatives across all disciplines.

Early online success and increasing demand for a wider range of quality products backed by a different customer experience focusing on what the customer wants to achieve, rather than what products they want to buy, led to the first retail store being opened in 2011.

The range quickly expanded based on customer feedback and now spans everything from filters and tripods to professional still and video cameras. (and everything in between) 

To further support the vision of providing the very best customer experience Photogear opened a retail branch in Ponsonby early 2017 followed by relocation of the head office to Albany later the same year.

Photogear has built a reputation for outstanding customer service, expert advice and comprehensive solutions for everyone from those starting on the creative journey to the seasoned professional. We continue to explore and innovate to bring customers a unique experience whether in-store or online. 

In 2019 our range of services will expand to include professional printing on the very latest large format technology. We will also be launching new ways to explore and experience the products that will help you meet your creative vision.

Community and supporting the industry is also very important to Photogear and we are proud to be involved with a range of sponsorships, industry bodies and some of New Zealand’s to creatives.
