  We construct an explicit bulk dual in anti-de Sitter space, with couplings of
order $1/N$, for the $SU(N)$-singlet sector of QED in $d$ space-time dimensions
($2 < d < 4$) coupled to $N$ scalar fields. We begin from the bulk dual for the
theory of $N$ complex free scalar fields that we constructed in our previous
work, and couple this to $U(1)$ gauge fields living on the boundary in order to
get the bulk dual of scalar QED (in which the $U(1)$ gauge fields become the
boundary value of the bulk vector fields). As in our previous work, the bulk
dual is non-local but we can write down an explicit action for it. We focus on
the CFTs arising at low energies (or, equivalently, when the $U(1)$ gauge
coupling goes to infinity). For $d=3$ we discuss also the addition of a
Chern-Simons term for $U(1)$, modifying the boundary conditions for the bulk
gauge field. We also discuss the generalization to QCD, with $U(N_c)$ gauge
fields coupled to $N$ scalar fields in the fundamental representation (in the
large $N$ limit with fixed $N_c$).
