High Point, NC’s photography cluster wasn’t the first thing that came to mind when I visited there recently. Furniture for sure! And, fabrics made sense also. But photography? In High Point? How could a furniture cluster lead to a photography cluster?
I found out and boy was I shocked! I learned that High Point, with a population of less than 100,000, has more square feet devoted to photography than any other city in the entire country. More than even New York or Los Angeles!
The furniture cluster started it, but the tremendous cost advantages of a location like High Point have allowed this cluster of businesses to expand tremendously. High Point counts 11 studios with over 100,000 sf and several with over a quarter of a million sf. Employment in this high paying industry is over 600 and growing.
