The Photo Center – Brick, New Jersey
A Real Camera Store – Family owned and operated
A quaint storefront in Brick, NJ, has a simple sign that reads “The Photo Center.” Stepping inside is like entering a photographer’s paradise. The walls are lined with rows of camera equipment, from high-end DSLRs to vintage film cameras. The store also offers expert photo enlargements and specialized film-developing services to cater to your needs.
For over 10+ years, Photography Magazine Extra has relied on this family-owned establishment for all its photography needs. We highly recommend traveling to the store. The original owners’ sons, John and Jeff, have upheld their family’s tradition of delivering exceptional service and top-notch products to their clientele. Their expertise is unparalleled, and they are readily available for purchase inquiries.
As you browse through the carefully curated selection of gear, you can’t help but admire the decades of knowledge and expertise stored within these walls. This isn’t just a camera shop—it’s a community hub for photographers of all levels to come together and share their passion for photographing life’s moments.
Amanda, Rodney, Lauren, Nicole, Faith and Jordan are creative individuals with a deep passion for photography and videography. Some of their time outside the store is dedicated to honing their craft, allowing them to develop knowledge and expertise. As part of the staff, their skills and knowledge are invaluable when making purchases. Whether you’re a photographer or videographer, this team is truly knowledgeable and always goes above and beyond to deliver exceptional service.
BEWARE: If you get Rodney talking about his Insta360, you will walk out with one to take home. Tell Rodney we sent you. :)
Some may see the Photo Center as just another retail store, but for those who know its history and dedication, it’s so much more than that. It’s a testament to photography’s enduring love and artistry, passed down from generation to generation.

General Information for Other Contests
Photography contests have become increasingly popular to showcase the creativity and talent of photographers worldwide. But when entering a photography contest, there are specific terms and conditions that you need to be aware of. In this article, we’ll delve into the details of entering a photography contest, including what the contest runners may do with your photos if you submit them and the legal implications of doing so.
Understand the Rules of the Photography Contest
First and foremost, before you enter a photography contest, you must read and understand the rules and regulations. Every contest will have its own set of rules. Still, they will usually include criteria such as the number of entries allowed per person, the timeline of the contest, the size of the photograph, and the type of photograph that will be accepted. Reading and following the rules is essential to ensure you aren’t disqualified.
When you enter a photography contest, you will usually be asked to provide a signed release form that gives the contest runner permission to use your photograph however they see fit. This is important to remember, as it can include using your photo for advertising, marketing, or other promotional purposes. Read and understand the release form before signing it, as it can have legal implications if the contest runner uses your photograph you weren’t expecting, or you disapprove of.
Photography Contest Release Form
Besides a release form, you might be asked to provide proof of copyright ownership. This is important to remember, as some photography contests may require entrants to prove that their photograph is original and that they are its sole creator and owner. This means you could face serious legal implications if you submit a photo that is not your own or a picture you did not create.
It is also essential to be aware of the potential legal implications of entering a photography contest, as the consequences can be severe if you do not adhere to the rules and regulations.
When entering a photography contest, it is essential to research the background of the contest and its organizers. Make sure that they are trustworthy and have a solid reputation. Examine the prize structure; some contests may require you to pay an entry fee or other fees before claiming the prize.
