About

B&H Photo is an American retailer specialising in photo, video, audio, and computer equipment. Founded in 1973, the company has grown from a small photo and film shop into one of the largest electronics retailers in the United States. It operates as a privately held, family-owned business headquartered in Manhattan, with its flagship retail location on West 34th Street.

The company conducts most of its business through an award-winning e-commerce website, which offers over 400,000 products to a global customer base. This spans amateur photographers and content creators through to professional videographers. B&H maintains a physical retail presence alongside its digital operations, serving customers seeking hands-on expertise. The company positions itself as "The Professional's Source", emphasising knowledgeable staff, honest guidance, and competitive pricing.

B&H engages actively with its creator community through multiple channels.
