Picture-perfect presents: The ultimate photographer's gift guide
As the holiday season approaches, the hunt for perfect Christmas gifts has started. It can be tricky to know what gift to buy for a photographer, especially if unfamiliar with their kit or photography style. The world of photography offers a variety of gadgets, accessories, and tools designed to enhance the art of capturing moments, no matter if photography is one’s hobby or profession, selecting the right present can be a challenge.
“Whether they are seasoned professionals, hobbyists, or just starting out, there’s sure to be something on here that is a perfect match for the photographer in your life this year” says James Whitten, the Marketing Manager at photoGuard.
Leading camera equipment insurer photoGuard put together a photographer’s gift guide full of thoughtful and practical gifts to complement their gear and inspire their photographic journey.
Photography courses
Many gift experience providers offer a photography day, which could be the perfect gift for someone who is considering getting into photography. It would also be well-suited to an amateur looking to deepen their knowledge. For more advanced photographers, consider training workshops on specific aspects of photography. A course can suit any level and a range of budgets.
Camera cleaning kit
There are a few key items in a standard camera cleaning kit, and each is affordable and useful for the day-to-day upkeep of camera accessories. An air duster will always come in handy and come either as hand pumps or cans of compressed air. In addition, it is always to good idea to gift someone a lens cloth made from microfibre material, or a “Lenspen” which has a soft brush and a carbon fibre pad to safely clean lenses.
Gimbal stabiliser
If buying a gift for a photographer who also shoots video, and have a larger budget to play with, a gimbal could be a great gift. Individuals no longer require a complete steady-cam rig to attain seamless video footage. A user-friendly, lightweight hand-held gimbal makes achieving smooth shots easy and enhances the production quality for any aspiring videographer.
“There is a wide variety of Christmas gifts suitable for photographers at all levels. But remember, it is the thought that counts when gifting a gift this Christmas” adds Whitten.
