Episode 8: Holiday Gift Guide

When it comes to holiday gifts, do you really want to leave it to chance that your loved ones will get you things you might actually use? In a world filled with cheap coffee mugs shaped like camera lenses, we’re here to help you build a list of truly useful items that won’t break the bank. Think of us as your own personal holiday elves working hard to get the best photo gadgets, tools and books under your tree.

Mason Marsh's avatar Mason Marsh on November 17, 2021

When your loved ones choose holiday gifts for you, do they get you what you really want? As photographers it’s in our best interest to provide guidance when gift lists are created. In this episode Jeff and Mason share 26 things you can really use. There are no camera lens coffee mugs or “World’s Best Photographer” T-Shirts. This is the good stuff that we use and cherish. You don’t need to thank us, because in this season of giving, we’re here to help you get truly useful stuff.

 

The List (Check it twice!)
