From high-tech tools and professional-grade add-ons to playful instant cameras and affordable apps, this list of gift ideas for photographers is sure to offer something that will capture the attention of your picture-taking friend.
If you are up against the task of shopping for a (semi) professional photographer, this list offers a wide range of high-quality gift options. For example, the Pelican Rugged Lens Cover is a professional-grade accessory featuring a highly-dense silicon construction that can be used on multiple lens sizes. However, if you're working with a bigger budget you could splurge on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, the perfect gift for avid videographers.
Alternatively, this list also delivers a variety of affordable cameras and fun photography-related accessories. For example, if the photographer in your life also happens to be a contemporary art fan, gift them the Polaroid Now I-Type Instant Camera Keith Haring Edition.
