SHOP Closed

05/02/2025

Regrettably, we are announcing the imminent closure of Sheffield Photographic Centre, Hickmott Road. It’s been fun over the last 38 years, meeting and helping all of you fantastic people. We’ve seen and helped many people become professionals in this industry, but now it’s feet up time.

We truly are so grateful for all our customers who have supported us over the years. Thanks to all the students and younger crowd who’ve nurtured the interest in all things photographic. This has given us a great feeling of love towards all of you. We will miss you!

The shop will close mid to end of March, but we will keep you informed in ‘Jens Blog’ up to the end.

There will be price reductions on most items in the shop, so please pop in and ask for a bargain.

Cheers, John and Jen.

Shop is open this week as normal. However I am still quite ill, and mot sure when I will be working. Ring to check if you need Canadian passport photos taking. Poor me (and poor John for having to take my place) 😪🤧🤕😷🥴

After 20 years of UK passport/driving licence photos priced at £4.00, we have finally had to put it up to £4.50. Still a bargain though!

Just had a phone call from someone obviously very medically vulnerable and scared of catching Omicron whilst getting a passport photo taken here. My advice for anyone scared is to come in at 11am when we open up, as we will have had a 'UV3 Ozone' lamp on after closing the shop the previous day, so you will be coming into a sterile environment with only either me or John attending. The only hazard you may face at that time of the morning is one of us: if we've not had enough coffee before work, and are grumpy!

I also take 'Lateral Flow' tests before coming in to work every week. I work on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Saturdays (usually)

Please note that due to the rampant nature of he new Omicron variant, and the staff being 'of an age-challenged, triple jabbed but nervous older generation' (old gits), we will be closed from Saturday 25th Dec until Tuesday 3rd January. Plesse try and pick up your 35mm developed films before this.
