Description
Gordon Photographic Ltd opened in small corner of Tuttles Flower Shop on April Fools Day 1974. From the original investment of $500.00 and a used camera, the business has been continually successful and profitable. The company has never received private or government funding, but has been built with sweat equity, equipping and expanding as income permitted. Gordon Photographic Ltd now employs seven people and occupies 5,000 square feet in downtown Sydney. A second studio and an outdoor photographic park in Sydney River have recently been added. Steeltown Publishing, a division of Gordon Photographic Ltd, has self-funded and self-published ten photographic books, as well as an annual calendar featuring and promoting Cape Breton Island. Each of these books has far surpassed the volume to qualify as best seller in Canada. The publications have not only provided an important source of income for local gift shops but they have been a tremendous instrument for the promotion of tourism. Gordon Photographic Ltd markets its collection of Island pictorial under the name Images of Cape Breton both through our downtown gallery and as stock photography which has been widely used in Canadian, American and European travel publications. The distribution of these images has been a great source of promotion for our Island and include images in the following magazines:
