Photographers Keep Full Rights to Their Images


IMPORTANT INFO: Unlike other competitions, we will solely utilize your photograph to promote our contest through our magazine and social media platforms. We always ensure proper credit is given to the photographer. Furthermore, our website employs right-click protection measures to prevent unauthorized duplication of images.

We acknowledge and uphold the ownership rights of all photographers, and no one is permitted to duplicate or replicate any material under any circumstances.

Other contests use images you entered with unlimited usage rights without credits. We DO NOT do that. We only use your image here in Photography Magazine Extra. If we ever use it for advertising elsewhere, including social media, you will receive credit for the image promoting your work. We may use your photo in our magazine or to promote our contest. That’s it—nothing More. We treat photographers the way we would like to be treated.

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 Jordon 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 it’s so much more than that for those who know its history and dedication. It’s a testament to photography’s enduring love and artistry, passed down from generation to generation.
