The Best Photography Gifts, TO ASK FOR
Here’s a list so good, even the WSJ/Wall Street Journal asked if I would recommend a couple of items for their own photography gift list.
Every holiday season, photographers receive a mixed bag of gifts ranging from the well-intentioned yet impractical to the downright disappointing. To steer clear of the usual pitfalls, I’ve curated a list of exceptional gift ideas that go beyond the predictable. These are the kind of gifts photographers might not think to ask for, but will appreciate.
Check out my latest YouTube video where I share my top picks for gifts that can genuinely enhance a photographer’s craft and joy in their work. This guide is your ticket to giving (or getting) gifts that truly matter to photographers this holiday season.
