Smaller. More Personal. Different. Since 1998, back when Digital SLR's were 1.3 megapixel, $20,000 giants that only the biggest newspapers could justify, we were here, the very first all-digital camera store in Canada! We knew then, and know now, how important product knowldege and personal service can be — knowledge that can only come from hands-on experience with the products we offer. While we respect that you have many choices as to where you will get your digital photography equipment, we also know that once they have discovered us, our customers never turn back. Why is this? Well, I guess it is mostly the personalized customer-service and industry leading practical advice & customer-care standards that has made us the #1 destination-business in DSLR's, lenses & accessories. The Pro's trust us. You can too! While we do cater to consumers, our market is more the small-business owner and Professional Photographers plus the advanced-amatuer shooter. In fact, we have a loyal following among Canada's biggest newspapers and professional photographers, mostly because we know their needs from a unique first-person perspective: Owner Jeff Chevrier was a PRO shooter for 10 years before starting Photocreative inc. Experience: Jeff Chevrier. Jeff Chevrier was an accomplished full-time pro-shooter for many years before launching Photocreative inc. in 1998. His images and finished digital prints have toured Canada with the HP 'Real Life' road show, and have been published in: Since 1992 Jeff Chevrier was scanning film and transmitting his images over a BBS and then later via the Internet. He was fortunate in that he got started in Photoshop almost at the beginning, at Version 2.0 on the Mac. This gave him a great edge over his competition, and he was learning how to convert analogue (film) Images to digital, how to colour-correct and the amazing power of the Digital Darkroom, years ahead of most others. Then, in 1994, Chevrier negotiated the exclusive Canadian rights to the very first Digital SLR aimed at photojournalists, the AP / Kodak NC2000 and later, the NC2000e. This was a $22000,00 Camera that produced 1.3 megapixel images, but with only a 1.5X crop factor like modern DSLRS. Chevrier's much larger competitors only had a Kodak camera with a 2.0X crop factor (DCS 420) -- so their solution was not usable for most PRO's since a 20mm ultra wide became an almost standard 40mm lens. Chevrier is onbe of the very few in Canada who has experience with digital from almost day one. |

What our customers say about us: “I have had the pleasure in dealing with Jeff and his staff at Photocreative since my first digital SLR purchase in 2001. Since then the service and attention to their customers has been second to none. They really do know digital!” “Need a creative solution? Call Photocreative!” - David Cooper, Chief Photographer Toronto Star “Hey guys: Just wanted to drop you a line and say thanks for all the help… I can always count on Photocreative to come through in a big way. And Jeff, as for the printing problem with the Epson 2200… I reloaded all of the ICC profiles, reinstalled them into their particular folders and rebuilt new profiles with the Epson software. That seemed to cure the problem…” - Jeremy “The Service is great and I find the prices are better. Since discovering Photocreative i rarely bother going to downtown Toronto.” - John B. “Photocreative is smaller, and has a more sophisticated approach to customers, they focussed on me.. Just what I needed!” - Linda T. “No line-ups....No Parking hassles....No big-box salespeople...Just what I was looking for!” Try Photocreative.
