Calling all loved ones of photogs!! Here is your ultimate guide for Gifts for Photographers (but like, things they’ll actually want!) As a Las Vegas Wedding & Elopement Photographer, I promise I have a few tips and tricks that will help you give the BEST gifts in this holiday season.

If you have a visual artist in your life (photog, videographer… you name it)… chances are you want to get them a present that actually helps improve their life. But if you’re eyeing that coffee mug that looks like a lens, please consider this an invitation to put it down. I want to share some really helpful, practical gifts for photographers that will actually be used!

If you wanna jump right in, here’s the link to the comprehensive list!

But let me show you my favorites!

Gifts for Photographers – that don’t suck!

1. Massagers! Because our back/shoulders hurt! haha

• accupressure mat
• back massager

I have and love both of these and they really help with back pain and sore muscles.

2. Fujifilm instax mini evo

I LOVE this thing! Rather than printing every snap you take you can *choose* which photos to print rather than wasting film. There are built in filters, you can adjust settings, and even print photos that you took on your phone via bluetooth. Bonus points if you also get them film so they can get started right away. (film here)

3. Portable Photo Printers!

• Here’s one!
• And another!

It may be cliche but we do love to print our photos!

4. Meta Glasses!

• Style One
• Style Two
• Style Three

These are my new favorite way to get BTS content, just with a quick click on the side of the glasses.

5. Last but not least, Prism Filters!

To get creative, get some prism filters! I love the handle on these to make them easy to manipulate in front of my camera lens. They create the dreamiest shots!

I hope this list helps you as you shop for gifts for photographers in your life! Happy Holidays!
