Photo equipment stores in Brussels
There are many photo stores in Brussels dedicated to both amateur and professional photographers.
Explore the city’s various stores, which offer a full range of new photo equipment, including digital cameras, lenses, flashes and lighting equipment.
1. Liva
Liva (formerly 50.8 Shop) is a photo shop located on Avenue Louise, in the heart of Brussels. It offers a carefully curated selection of photography equipment for photographers and photography enthusiasts alike.
The store carries premium camera and lens brands such as Leica, Hasselblad and Fujifilm, alongside a wide range of accessories from leading manufacturers including SmallRig, Artisan & Artist, Peak Design and many more.
One of Liva’s key strengths is the opportunity to try products before making a purchase. Thanks to its extensive selection of demo equipment, you can get hands-on experience with cameras, lenses and accessories in-store. The team also provides personalised guidance, helping you choose the equipment that best suits your needs and photographic style.
2. Photo Galerie
For many years, Photo Galerie has been a reference point for the purchase of professional photo equipment in Brussels. Renowned for its wide range of products (cameras, lenses, tripods, photo bags, etc.) and professional expertise.
Photo Galerie was recently acquired by Kamera Express, a chain of photo stores based in the Netherlands. While this acquisition has breathed new life into Photo Galerie, giving it the backing of a more powerful group.
It has also meant the loss of some of the authenticity and history that were Photo Galerie’s original charms, as it has turned its attention to the general public, leaving behind the professional photographers it historically targeted.
