Hutt Street Photos

17/08/2026

Great interview this morning with ABC891 on the changing of the guard in the store.
Thanks to everyone for their good wishes to Catherine and myself.
We will be away for a couple of weeks and will do some thinking about the future .

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
On Monday 17 August Alan & Catherine will officially be handing over Hutt Street Photos, and RETIRING!
2 of our current staff, Conor Tiffin and Jackson Thornbury are buying the business and taking it over.
Catherine will be taking her training business and working from home to do what she wants to do.
It ends almost 30 years since we started Hutt Street Photos.
It's up to the 2 guys how they run it, but I doubt they will be making wholesale changes. Catherine and I will be around to help them for the next few months (excepting the next 2 weeks while we are away).
To say it has been a great experience would be an understatement - we have made many many friends with our customers, and suppliers.
I guess what I will miss most will be the interactions with our customers with all their stories and questions.
As they say, it's not the end, just the start of a new beginning.

Remember, we can supply you with UK passport photos in either hard copy or digital format for your online application.

If you’re a dual Australian-British or Australian-Irish national intending to travel to the UK on your Australian passport on or after 25 February 2026, you’ll need to get a certificate of entitlement (CfoE).
You can only get a CofE if you don’t have a current British or Irish passport. You can’t hold a British or Irish passport and a CofE at the same time.
If applying for a CofE, you’ll need to do this through the UK government. If your application is approved, your CofE will be digitally linked to your passport.
We are unable to provide advice on individual circumstances. See official UK sources for more information. https://www.gov.uk/right-of-abode/apply-for-a-certificate-of-entitlement?fbclid=IwY2xjawP7p-pleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETJsdU5hODE0WlpvaHlhS0REc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHh_w4Sh0LaROclB0wmCyBQkxSrMlCOgdSpVx4ckj9x4wMpRQf5R3cudY43Iu_aem_YBwUfqO5X3ix4Mg_QRNY2A

This is a very small part of my family.

Real photographic prints will last a lifetime.

Look what we just ordered!!!!

They are currently backordered with our supplier, but we will let everyone know when they arrive into stock.

Paying homage to the very first Kodak single-use camera that was released in 1987, the Kodak Charmera blind boxes feature seven different colorful variations of miniaturized, working digital keychain cameras.
While the original Kodak single-use camera used 110-film cartridges, the Kodak Charmera miniature cameras use microSD cards to store both photo and video captures. The tiny little cameras, which are being released under a licensing agreement with Kodak, are available in seven variations: a calssic yellow, a red, a gray, a geometric shape emblazoned white, a black and rainbow, a blue, and then a “mystery” secret version which is a transparent plastic.
All of the cameras are made of plastic and measure 58 by 24.5 by 20 millimeters and weigh 30 grams
All of the cameras share the same internals which are, just like the outside, miniature. The sensor is a very small 1.6-megapixel, Type 1/4 CMOS with an equally tiny 35mm f/2.4 lens in front of it (with plastic optics, of course). The little cameras can capture very low resolution photos that measure a scant 1,440 by 1,080 pixels. Video quality is about the same and clips are shot at 30 frames per second in AVI format. There is extremely limited internal storage (two photos appear to be able to be saved), so a microSD (maximum of 1GB capacity) is a must and is not included. The camera does support direct plug into a comptuer, however, and that same USB-C port is used for charging the internal battery.
“It’s not just about the classic looks, the Kodak Charmera also brings the vibe from the inside out. With built-in photo frames featuring vintage elements like the KODAK icons and Film-style borders, every shot gets that iconic, nostalgic touch — no editing needed. Just shoot and share instantly,”
“The cameras are sold in blind boxes, adding an element of surprise and collectability! With 7 uniquely vintage designs including 1 secret edition, every unboxing is a mystery awaiting to be revealed. Whether it’s a party gift, a collectible item, or a shared surprise among friends, the KODAK Charmera turns every moment into a celebration of fun and nostalgia,”
