Midwest Photo is a family‑owned photography retailer and supplier based in Columbus, Ohio. The company originated in the early 1980s when a Ohio State University Ph.D. candidate began selling used cameras, growing from a home operation to a storefront and eventually adopting the Midwest Photo name. Today, it serves customers with a focus on quality photo, video, and printing products, maintaining a small‑business, community‑oriented profile that emphasizes personalized service and local engagement. With a history spanning more than three decades, Midwest Photo positions itself within the photography industry as a regional supplier and resource for imaging needs, supporting activities such as photography contests and educational opportunities in the community. A notable recent development is a collaboration announced in 2026 with MAC Group to form a larger distribution umbrella, reflecting strategic expansion while preserving the family‑run nature of the business.
