Trackside Camera Supply

Trackside Camera Supply is a locally owned camera shop in Lafayette, Indiana, established October 15, 2025. It exists within a long tradition of photography shops in this community - places like Berry’s Camera, Camera Outfitters, and Camera Craftsman - that helped shape generations of photographers and built a deeply rooted local culture around the craft.

Trackside was created with an awareness of that history and a responsibility to carry it forward in a way that fits how photographers work today. Trackside was built to offer a stable, local place where tools, knowledge, and community could exist together.

The shop serves students, hobbyists, and working photographers with a curated selection of new and used gear, film, accessories, and consignment equipment. The focus is on reliability, usability, and long-term value, supported by staff who understand photography as an ongoing practice rather than a one-time purchase.

Trackside is open seven days a week by design. Photography doesn’t follow a traditional schedule, and neither do the people who practice it. By keeping consistent hours and an open door, the shop aims to be a dependable resource and gathering place, somewhere photographers can stop in, ask questions, learn, and stay connected to the work they care about.

The goal is not urgency or scale, but continuity: supporting photographers now while contributing to the long-standing photographic community that has made Lafayette a place where the craft continues to matter.
