Whether you know an amateur or professional photographer, there's nothing more satisfying than giving a new gadget to make their lives easier or jazz up their gear. Luckily, there's no shortage of interesting and creative gifts for your favorite photography lover.

Whether it's a colorful new camera strap or a handy light meter you can easily attach to your smartphone, you don't necessarily have to break the bank to gift something the photographer in your life will appreciate. Unsure of what would work as a great gift? Think about what would be helpful: camera accessories are a surefire way to enhance a photographer's creative process. Some of the products we've collected include camera storage boxes, tripods that work with both smartphones and most cameras, and a portable photo printer.

On the other hand, if you want to capture the essence of photography (maybe mixed with a little bit of humor), we also have a selection of homeware and clothing inspired by this modern art form. Some of these products merge iconic camera silhouettes with functional mugs, and others let wearers show off their passion in the form of sweatshirts and earrings.

Take a look around our full collection of the best photography gifts. You're sure to find something that will make your favorite photographer smile.
