Studio Bombay Photo Stores

Our shop is right in the middle of the bustle on Park Street. If you know the Park Center Market, you probably know where we are. We're up on the first floor. It’s always busy around here, especially in the evenings when the lights come on. We handle a lot of different things related to photography. Some days people come in because they need a simple passport photo, and other times they’re looking for a specific lens or maybe just want to talk about an old camera they found in an attic. It gets pretty cramped inside sometimes with all the gear and boxes. Kolkata is a city that loves pictures, so there's always something going on. We have been in this building at number 24 for a long time. The stairs can be a bit of a climb if you're carrying a heavy tripod, but it’s worth it. We don't have a fancy showroom. It’s more of a functional space where we keep our stock and talk to customers. Sometimes the air conditioning struggles a bit in the summer heat, but we manage. You’ll see prints hanging on the walls and stacks of paper here and there. It's a lived-in space. Most of our regulars have been coming to us for years. They know we'll give them a straight answer about whether a camera is worth fixing or not. It's a decent place to spend the day, right in the heart of South Park.
