Gift Guide for Photographers

If you’re a photographer yourself and are looking to add some creativity to your work, or are shopping for a photographer and want a fun idea of what to buy them for a gift, this is your ultimate gift giving guide! This list is the perfect wish list they didn’t even know they wanted and is not your typical, cheesy “I shoot things” t-shirt.

1. Rubber Lens Covers

   I cannot even tell you the amount of times I have dropped my lens at shoots and scratched them/cracked them! Photographers spend thousands of dollars on their lenses, and these lens covers are super affordable and are a great way to protect them from getting dropped or bumped around a camera bag! They are WAY better than the little plastic covers that come on them!

2. Polaroid Camera

   I’ll be honest this is probably my favorite gift idea on here! I was gifted a polaroid camera like this about 2 years ago and I use it all the time! It’s so fun for me to take a quick polaroid for a client at the end of their shoot, or on family vacations! I love documenting my own family with it, it feels so special and fun!

3. Leather Double Camera Harness

   My sweet husband bought me a leather double camera harness for Christmas a few years back, and I take it with me to every. single. shoot. It is my favorite thing in my camera bag!! I get compliments on it always too, it’s so pretty and the leather looks so nice! It’s great being able to have both cameras with me so I don’t have to constantly go into my camera bag searching for one. Also, if I only need one camera for the day, I can hook up the other side so I am just using one. It is perfect!

4. Fractal Lens Filters

   This is such a fun gift idea!! If you have a friend who is a photographer or if you are looking to get your creative juices flowing, BUY THESE! You hold them in front of your camera lens essentially like a prism and it bends the image and light around it to create really unique, magical photos.

I hope that helped! These are all super fun gifts that the photographer in your life will LOVE and are not cheesy!
