Just returned from Photo Bootcamp 3 with Steve and the St. Louis School of Photography. Exceptional day - 5+ Stars! We spent 6+ hours with Stephen and his team photographing sites around downtown St. Louis - not the "typical" St. Louis photos (looking east through the arch), but different perspectives and things that make great photos that are unique (and very cool) that you need a "Photo Pro" to find. Highlight of the day was photographing dirt bikes at Archview MX motocross park!Steven and his team are great instructors, very patient but always providing "focused" instruction to his students. Even if you know your way around your camera, you'll learn new techniques from them. Well worth the time and cost.

Just had some photos restored. Great service...VERY FAST...Derek is wonderful. All took less than one week. My mother will love her photos from almost 85 years ago and the family will have copies to hang up. Family history preservation at the finest level!

No more buying from the other camera store or online. I feel like small camera stores have one major advantage over online stores and that is customer service. If you don't have great customer service, there's no reason for me not to order online and not have to make a 45 minute drive. I haven't found a camera store that has near the great customer service that this place has. Been in twice and had nothing but great interactions from 3 different employees so far. Way to go! I can be intimidated very easily and I haven't felt that at all!

Owned by the same dishonest and arrogant guy who ran Creve Couer Camera out of business. You'll get better instruction for better prices from literally anyone other than this creep and the people who stuck with him. At CCC they regularly told staff to lie to customers about what they had in stock and when more would be coming. Looks like they're still doing that here too. Avoid this place. There are MUCH better options for every single thing this business offersEdit to reply to their comment: what does not knowing who I am have to do with anything? And you know exactly what I'm referring to. This company is owned by S.W., who is dishonest and sleazy.

went to Stephen about a year ago for a new camera for an upcoming trip to Iceland. He recommended an Olympus camera (specifically the EM-5 MK III). Couldn’t have been a better recommendation. The pictures turned out amazing and it faired perfectly in the harsh Icelandic weather. I also went here to get my pictures printed (did the metal prints) and they turned out great. Stephen was extremely helpful throughout the process and even helped me pick the best pictures. The whole staff is great. Not only do they have the most knowledgeable staff, but they provide the personalized service you only get with a small business. I would highly recommend them for any of your photography needs whether it be hobby (like me), or professional, and would definitely recommend any Olympus camera.

I've used them to print small pictures like 4×6 & 5×7 and they always turn out nice. Their turn around time is pretty good too.

I have learned so much from everyone at The Photo Pros & St. Louis. My first experience was the Buttons, Dials, and Levers with Sam who was a fantastic instructor. My second experience was senior shoot with Stephen and Dave, both taught at every level and shared their knowledge. I took private sessions for classes with Stephen twice. Stephen gives it to you straight but you pay for that learning, experience, professional information, and it truly is helpful. The store manager Mark, is so nice and helpful with equipment. I highly recommend the classes, tours, trips, and store.

I enjoyed the privilege of getting a private photography lesson from Stephen. I own a small business and wanted to take better and more engaging photos of my product. Stephen came to my home and showed me exactly how to improve my set up and improve the quality of my photographs. He also shared inspiring ideas on how I can increase my sales and improve my business. It was a very great experience, and I would highly recommend This group. I am very careful where I spend my money as I am a small business owner, but I definitely consider the fee I paid for this private one on one lesson to be worth every dollar and I am certain that it will yield a very big return in my business is future. Thank you kindly.

Steve the owner is a great guy and a wealth of knowledge. He is willing to help anyone with any kind of camera or photo problem. His staff are all friendly and knowledgeable as well. I’m taking the photography bootcamp 101 course and it’s an absolute bargain for the amount of instruction and level of help that’s provided. Their store is well stocked with the very best photography equipment and supplies and it’s all priced extremely even beating the big online retailers pricing.. Can’t say enough good things about this place. So happy to have found it!

I’ve attended classes & trips with The Photo Pros for the past few years. They have helped take my photography to a new level. The instructors are awesome. Each sharing their knowledge with their own creative style. No matter what your skill level, beginner to pro, there is something for everyone here. Plus, it’s just fun??

The owner is an idiot. Enforcing wearing mask for customers but not employees. I would have worn a mask if he had any. No wonder ccc had to change names.

Not a bad store for someone starting out in photography. Has entry level through pro gear, more than enough lighting, cameras and accessories to get you going.
