Mr Sanders said newer cameras allow for a lot more control and flexibility which puts the user in full control of what they want to get out of a picture.
He said: “You get more creative control and it allows for nice and better results than smartphones.
“As good as [smart phones] are, there are limits to what they can get depending on subjects or light conditions.”
Over the pandemic, the store developed its online presence and as a result, has found a new way of connecting with different customers.
