New York, NY — Carl Redding, a chef who owns the Harlem soul food restaurant Amy Ruth's, has a routine that takes him out of the kitchen one afternoon every week. Mr. Redding, who works on the side as a freelance photojournalist, makes a trip to Midtown to stock up on a few hundred dollars' worth of photography supplies at B &H Photo, the large photo and video store on Manhattan's West Side.

“They have the best prices, and whatever I'm looking for is almost guaranteed to be in stock,” Mr. Redding said.
