Victor was very responsive and patient. He also gave good recommendations on how to get our print on canvas mounted on a wood frame. As i had absolutely no idea how things are done etc , his expertise helped make this job seamless! Thank you so much! To top it all, his prices are transparent and reasonable!read more

Wonderful experience. I first went into the store very tentatively, not sure if I ‘needed’ a custom made frame, however, having Victor’s consultative input on the different frame designs and customisable feature was so valuable. In the end Victor helped create a beautiful frame for my father in law’s memorial service sheets. As you can imagine, this was a sensitive thing to put in someone else’s hands but the team treated everything with such care and the finished product looks amazing.Thanks guys, would 100% recommend.read more

#aboveandbeyond Victor and the Photoland team produced the most fantastic framed photo gift for me to surprise my partner with. They combined the half marathon medal and number with a photo from the finish line - the end product far surpassed my expectations . Real customer service, great communication - no wonder they are the only photo framing place in the CBD. I cannot recommend them highly enough. Thanks again Victor.read more

Victor and Photoland are the best people I deal with - incredibly friendly, professional and good value. It's always such a pleasure to visit them. They've done so many jobs for me personally and professionally and there's never been a single mistake. Absolutely wonderful service. Plus they are good at rushing things through last minute. They have never let me down. Best service and range you can get. They totally know what they are talking about when it comes to framing.read more

I can throughly recommend the service at Photoland. I had a large canvas print done a couple of years ago which was of excellent quality, and now have returned to get a large format print that was particularly special to me. On both occasions I found the team knowledgeable, informative, friendly and prompt and have been totally happy with the prints.

I used their services twice. The first time I had no complaints, the printed photos came out well and were of good quality. On the second time I left an old camera with them with an old film still inside. Both the person who served me and I saw them film inside when I dropped the camera off. Well - they somehow managed to lose the film, and tried to convince me that I must have been mistaken and no film was left in the camera. Very disappointed I will not use their services again

I have always bought my photo albums and refills from Victor and his team. Sometimes that is in person and often remotely by email from NZ. The service I receive is outstanding. Prompt and courteous and it is never too much trouble for the team to complete my order, parcel it up and take it to the Post Office, just charging me the cost of the items plus postage. I would highly recommend Photoland.

After two miserable attempts at officeworks and aus post, I took the initiative to take my own photo of my 3 week old for her passport. I then was able to email photoland with my attempts where Victor came back to me within the hour advising that one of the photos he could use to comply with passport regulations. The pictures were then ready 24 hours later. What an absolute service! Couldn't recommend them highly enough and Victor specifically.

Great service, professional and friendly! had my wedding photos printed, framed and delivered within a very reasonable amount of time. Victor and his team are very professional and made the process of choosing borders and frames easy and fun. The results are fabulous! There is no substitute for quality! I will be using them again. Thank you Photoland!

We thought our aim was simple. To digitally restore and enhance an old analogue photo of a loved one for a memorial plaque. Initially, we scanned and emailed the photo to three self-proclaimed specialists online and paid lavishly. The results were poor. Next, we purchased (Photoshop clone) software and attempted to restore in-house; again the outcome was inadequate. Finally, in desperation, we rang Photoland and luckily for us, Darren answered.Straightaway we knew this is a photographic expert, confident in his technical ability, knowledgeable, helpful, efficient and, importantly, patient. Experiencing Darren’s service over the phone and in-person, we believe his customer relations ‘mantra’ can be summarised as listen, advise, assist and, consequently, provide what the customer desired/envisioned.After receiving our restored photo digitally and in print, we were impressed by how Darren surpassed our expectations, both in quality and artistic improvement. Therefore, with the utmost honesty and without hesitation, we highly recommend Photoland’s services.

Great service, quick and fine job.I was in a hurry to get a proper photo for my passport which was rejected to renew at the embassy 30 min ago because of the quality of the photo I took myself was not good enough. (though I thought it was...)Anyways, when I rushed to this shop (which the staff at the embassy recommended), the front door of the shop was locked and there was a sign on the door.I thought "Uh-ho, of course. it is corvid -19..." I was hesitating if I should call the number on the sign because the time I had was very tight. (there was only about 40min till the embassy closed) But when I was about to get my phone, the gentleman inside the shop showed up at the front door and unlocked it!I explained him what I needed and that I did not have enough time too ...etc (in my not good enough English)I think It would not work in that way especially because of on this virus situation.However !! the gentleman ( I think he must have felt sorry for me because I must have looked desperate) let me in and had a quick job for my photo without any extra charge which apparently they normally did.So I could make it in time.I was lucky to get there ;) They were so helpful.

Outstanding service and quality. These guys really know their stuff and use that knowledge to ensure you get a top quality product. Darren and Victor spent heaps of time with me running through options for a photo enlargement.Yes, they're more expensive than the online stores, or Big W/Kmart, but they're not playing in the same market and the results are a world apart.

I have used Photoland a number of times for large-scale photos of my family, and the work and service have always been outstanding. I have also referred several family members there, for passport photos and old photo restoration, and everyone I have referred has been hugely impressed with the quality of Photoland's work. My go-to spot for anything photographic in Sydney CBD.

We were having a lot of trouble getting our Visa Photo's for China , We live in Batemans Bay so there is not a great number of Photographers to choose from and none were able to help . We rang around Canberra and the same story . I was looking on Tripadvisor China Forums and found a recommendation for Photoland in Elizabeth st Sydney , I gave them a call and they were so helpful . We dove to Nowra and got the Train to Martin Place and a few minutes later we were in Photoland . Just a few minutes and our Photo's were taken . An hour later and we had collected them and our troubles were over . Thank you Photoland .Highly recommend Photoland .
