Ive been a walk-in client of Global for many years and my experience has always been nothing but exemplary, warm, welcoming & no matter how busy the shop is, have always been accommodated and in a professional manner. I still owe money for passport photo's & not once has anyone made mention of it. It saddens me that some negative reviews are posted and I truly hope these clients will take the time out to give Global another chance, as I'm convinced their experience will be totally the opposite of what was more than likely a 'bad day'. These guys are truly struggling and with the digital world taking over the way that it has, it's a miracle these guys are still open. They must surely be doing something right? PLEASE everyone, support these guy's. Not only do they know the art of photography, but they still are passionate about a dying art form. These guys deserve your support. They are honest, professional, and truly go out of their way for the smallest of requests.
Deeply disappointed with Global Photographic in Rivonia Johannesburg and its owner Adrian van Wyk. I left my D5300 Nikon with its full set of equipment all virtually brand new on consignment. I was told will take about 1 month to sell. Few months later still wasn’t sold and I asked for my equipment back. Surprise, surprise … turned out he had dissembled (without my knowledge nor permission and without this being specified in the consignment agreement) my new and complete photographic set into many pieces to try and sell them individually. Refused to pay the full agreed resale price – since he was firstly wanting to sell all individual pieces however long that would have taken. Have I ever known he would handle the matter in such an unacceptable way, I would have never trusted him with my equipment. This bad experience cost me huge frustration, time and money since he started paying only after lawyers sent him numerous Letters of Demand.
I have been a regular customer with Global Photographic for the last 5 years. I have been on 3 of their photography courses, purchased cameras from them, and get my photos developed by them. Not only do I get constructive crits of my photos but its a pleasure going in there. All staff are a pleasure to deal with and Adrian is only too willing to help with tips and technical questions
Global photographic is one of the best places to buy or learn anything about photography. Their team is super friendly, efficient and beyond passionate about what they do and they are always willing to go the extra mile. I have had the pleasure attending their photography courses and the wealth of knowledge in unbelievable!!! Would seriously recommend this business to anyone.
