About Photorama USA in Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Cleveland
Where Photographers and Collectors Connect Through Camera Shows
You deserve a place where you can evaluate gear in person, connect with fellow photography enthusiasts, and find equipment that matches your creative vision. Photorama USA brings photographers and collectors together through dedicated camera show events designed for buying, selling, and trading photographic equipment.
We focus on used photographic equipment with an emphasis on both digital and film photography, creating spaces where you can hold a camera, test its weight, inspect its condition, and make confident decisions.
Our events are built around accessibility, in-person evaluation, and genuine community interaction—connecting people who value quality gear and the stories behind it.

Photography Events Established Across Five Major Metro Areas
We created Photorama USA to serve the vibrant photography communities across Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Cleveland—cities where film and digital photography continue to thrive side by side. Each city brings its own character, from Chicago's architectural elegance to Philadelphia's historic streets, and we're proud to create gathering spaces that reflect the energy and passion of local photographers.
Our shows are structured to support direct transactions between attendees and vendors, removing barriers and giving you the freedom to negotiate, ask questions, and build relationships with people who share your interest in photography.
We're proud to support homeowners and businesses across these communities, helping photographers at every level find the tools they need to keep shooting.
