There aren’t many family-owned businesses in Charlotte that have lasted nearly seven decades — even fewer that have survived in an industry as ever-evolving as photography and video, but @BiggsCamera has done exactly that.

Originally opened in 1959 as Hi-Fi Camera Center in Charlottetown Mall by photographer Neil Briggs, the business emerged during a period of major transformation in Charlotte.

As the city shifted after World War II from a manufacturing- and agriculture-based economy into a rapidly growing Southern banking hub, suburban consumer culture began to flourish, and Biggs Camera became part of that retail boom.

In the late ‘80s, Hi-Fi Camera Center transitioned into Biggs Camera and moved to its current location on South Kings Drive. More recently, the shop has started a social media series, “Film Fridays,” created by staff members Joey and Brandt, that highlights the work of local film photographers.

When customer-turned-employee Sarah Bush took over social media operations in May 2025, the shop expanded its digital storytelling, featuring more local artists with personal captions written in their own words.

“We just wouldn't be anything without our community,” Bush said. “And I feel like the best way to give back to the community is just by highlighting the different artists… which can be kind of difficult because there's so many. I just feel like that's the backbone of Biggs.”

The result is a visual archive of local talent — a sprawling collection of images spanning different film stocks, camera formats, and artistic styles that reflects the region’s growing photography culture.

Beyond the shift from analog to digital photography, general manager Troy Tomlinson has also witnessed major demographic shifts among customers. The Biggs team has embraced that change, encouraging photographers of all backgrounds to learn and develop their craft.

“In this day and age where we're at right now with the given climate where, you know, DEI and all that seems to be put onto the table — we are trying to actually be the opposite of that and help promote diversity and, you know, inclusion," said Tomlinson.

There aren’t many family-owned businesses in Charlotte that have lasted nearly seven decades — even fewer that have survived in an industry as ever-evolving as photography and video, but @BiggsCamera has done exactly that.

Originally opened in 1959 as Hi-Fi Camera Center in Charlottetown Mall by photographer Neil Briggs, the business emerged during a period of major transformation in Charlotte.

As the city shifted after World War II from a manufacturing- and agriculture-based economy into a rapidly growing Southern banking hub, suburban consumer culture began to flourish, and Biggs Camera became part of that retail boom.

In the late ‘80s, Hi-Fi Camera Center transitioned into Biggs Camera and moved to its current location on South Kings Drive. More recently, the shop has started a social media series, “Film Fridays,” created by staff members Joey and Brandt, that highlights the work of local film photographers.

When customer-turned-employee Sarah Bush took over social media operations in May 2025, the shop expanded its digital storytelling, featuring more local artists with personal captions written in their own words.

“We just wouldn't be anything without our community,” Bush said. “And I feel like the best way to give back to the community is just by highlighting the different artists… which can be kind of difficult because there's so many. I just feel like that's the backbone of Biggs.”

The result is a visual archive of local talent — a sprawling collection of images spanning different film stocks, camera formats, and artistic styles that reflects the region’s growing photography culture.

Beyond the shift from analog to digital photography, general manager Troy Tomlinson has also witnessed major demographic shifts among customers. The Biggs team has embraced that change, encouraging photographers of all backgrounds to learn and develop their craft.

“I’m Tim Irwin (@ringercreative) from Mooresville, North Carolina, and photography has always been part of my life. My dad was a professional photographer in the ‘70s, and when I was young he handed me his Olympus OM-1, showed me the basics, and told me to figure it out from there. That simple approach probably shaped my photography more than anything else and gave me the freedom to develop my own style and way of seeing things.

These days my Hasselblad 500C/M is my workhorse film camera, though I still regularly shoot with the very same OM-1 I learned on. Most of my photography lives somewhere between Americana, motorcycles, old cars, rural landscapes and backroad scenes. I’m always chasing atmosphere and cinematic light… Trying to create images that feel timeless, honest, and a little like a frame pulled from an old film. When I’m not shooting film, I pair my Nikon Zfc with various vintage lenses to create that same nostalgic, cinematic feel in my digital work.”
