Most of these stores are independently owned and operated, with employees who are passionate about photography. The Camera House Photography Competition, an annual event, showcases the skills of Camera House staff from various regions. This year, the competition featured nine categories: Action, Aerial, Animal, Architecture, Astrophotography, Landscape, People, Street, and Macro. Winners were announced for each category, with photos taken by Camera House employees from locations such as Bendigo, Broadbeach, Erina, Bunbury, Toowoomba, Hobart, Lismore, and Stallard’s Camera House.",
