Gift giving is difficult at the best of times and when it comes to photography the possibilities are endless, but this often means those unfamiliar with photography are overwhelmed with choice. I think this is why we end up with so many lens-shaped mugs! I have given an insight into 6 things that are on my Xmas list, to act as an insight into what a professional photographer might ask Santa for.
My biggest tip for gifts for photographers is photography books!
One of my biggest passions is photography books, and I found it hard not to fill the list full of them. I love the medium, and I don't think photographers utilize them enough, as a source of inspiration. As well as being beautiful pieces of art, they serve as a motivation to better my work.
The best thing about photography books for gifts is there is one about any subject you can imagine, making gift-giving simple! Just search for a photography book around one of the recipient's interests and you're sure to be on to a winner.
