Perhaps it&#8217;s you! This list covers some awesome gifts for beginner photographers, with some inexpensive picks so there&#8217;s something for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">[Title Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/revamptramp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">revamptramp<\/a>]<\/h6>\n\n\n\n<p>I know, I know. It&#8217;s hard to buy for someone who knows more about their hobby than you do. In fact, dangerous, one might say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But, never fear! I&#8217;ve made it easy by picking just those gifts that any non-photographer could easily&nbsp;buy for the photographer in their life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Gifts for Beginner Photographers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A lot of times people buy gifts that they don&#8217;t realize don&#8217;t fit the camera or gear properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to avoid that, these items are gifts that are easy to buy without knowing a lot about photography, along with some tips and advice on which one to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m assuming of course that your beginner photographer has made the jump from cellphone to camera as most of these assume they have. If you are looking to actually buy a camera, I&#8217;d recommend you check out my post on my favorite cameras.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use them specifically for travel but\u00a0both are affordable and great choices for a beginner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"in-content in-content-link has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f8f8f8\"><b>READ MORE: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/the-best-camera-for-travel\/\">Two great cameras for beginners on a budget<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If they&#8217;re all set for a camera, let&#8217;s keep moving! Here are my recs for 8 great gifts for beginner photographers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08JFX5VQD\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\">1. Tenba Padded Camera Insert<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The #1 mistake new photographers make is putting their fancy camera in the closet and not carrying it everywhere because they are scared to damage their pricey new equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So your beginner photographer definitely needs a good way to carry their gear safely. And the obvious idea would be to buy them a camera bag. But you don&#8217;t know exactly what kind of style they&#8217;d like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So one great gift is this insert that allows them to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/diy-camera-bag-best-travel-bag\/\">turn any bag into a camera bag<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08JFX5VQD\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/tenba-camera-insert.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12421\" style=\"width:298px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/tenba-camera-insert.png 500w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/tenba-camera-insert-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/tenba-camera-insert-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon pad-15\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08JFX5VQD\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Buy Tenba Camera Insert Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s a lot of good reasons to have one of these&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Style<\/strong> &#8211; Allows them to use a bag that matches their personal style, whether that&#8217;s a rugged messenger, travel backpack or a party-appropriate purse.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Safety<\/strong> &#8211; Helps them carry their gear inconspicuously. Instead of shouting, &#8220;Hey, come over here and rob me!&#8221;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Versatility<\/strong> &#8211; Switch bags as they need for their gear so they can be sure to carry their camera everywhere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>One tip &#8211; Be sure to get the size that works!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beginner DSLR &#8211; I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08JFX5VQD\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\">BYOB 9<\/a> which should fit a smaller DSLR with lens and one extra lens. Size up or down&nbsp;if you know your giftee carries a lot more or less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mirrorless camera &#8211; I recommend <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B08JGM4LGL\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\">BYOB 7<\/a> which is perfect for mirrorless with lens, and one more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With this insert, your budding photographer will be able to avoid the biggest mistakes new camera owners face and take their camera everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"in-content in-content-link has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f8f8f8\"><b>READ MORE:<\/b> For more bag ideas, check out this article on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/accessories-gx85-grip-batteries-lenses\/\">accessories for small cameras<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B079M1NKD4\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">2. Black Rapid Retro Strap<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay, you know how most camera straps go around your neck and hang in front?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, imagine carrying pretty much anything else that way for a day &#8211; your purse? laptop bag? groceries?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Admit it, it sounds terrible, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I don&#8217;t know why camera straps work that way, because it is SO&nbsp;hard on your neck and shoulders. I won&#8217;t even get into the ways it sucks even more&nbsp;for women.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enter the <a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B079M1NKD4\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">Black Rapid sling strap<\/a>. This strap wears like a messenger bag &#8211; across the chest with the weight on one shoulder. It&#8217;s attractive and so much more comfortable for both men and women. Win, win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon pad-15\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B079M1NKD4\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/51ekisyojhL.jpg\" alt=\"Gifts for Photographers - BlackRapid Sling Strap\" border=\"0\"><br><strong>Buy BlackRapid Sling Strap Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s basically a must-have for any photographer toting a DSLR. It also has a unique mechanism that makes it really easy to slide the camera up for a shot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they start using this strap, they won&#8217;t look back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you think they would prefer just a wrist strap, I love this wrist strap from peak design.

But there&#8217;s still something magical about a physical, tangible print.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great gift to let the beginner photographer get a way to share their new work with friends and family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can print directly from a cellphone, so this would even work for a budding photographer who uses their phone to shoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B01GTKG5Z8\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B01GTKG5Z8&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=sidecarphoto-20&amp;language=en_US\" alt=\"Gifts for Beginner Photographers - Fuji Instax Mini\" border=\"0\"><br><strong>Buy Fuji Instax Mini Printer Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just remember these are small prints, just&nbsp;2.1 in \u00d7 3.4 in, with the photo a bit smaller in the white frame.

It&#8217;s pricier but excellent quality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BF6T86WD\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\">4. Canon Selphy Portable Printer<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Canon Selphy uses an alternate printing method where the result&nbsp;looks exactly like a real photograph, with very smooth tones and no visible pixels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing that&#8217;s great about this camera is that you can put it away for months and it will still print a perfect print once you pull it out. That&#8217;s the joy of dye sublimation prints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It only prints a fixed size &#8211; 4&#215;6 &#8211; but it&#8217;s also portable so they can take it to an event to share or sell mementos.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BF6T86WD\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/canon-selphy-printer.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12425\" style=\"width:288px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/canon-selphy-printer.png 500w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/canon-selphy-printer-360x288.png 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon pad-15\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BF6T86WD\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Buy Canon Selphy Photo Printer Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buy this for the amateur photographer&nbsp;who likes to make everyday prints &#8211; perhaps to share with family,&nbsp;or to make albums or scrapbooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BMLSTW79\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">5. SmallRig Studio Reflector Set<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great choice for a photographer who would like to shoot portraits or do other studio work. Reflectors are a great way to improve the lighting of a photograph.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And photography is all about lighting!<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"982\" height=\"752\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sidecarphoto.co\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reflector-set.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12426\" style=\"width:360px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reflector-set.png 982w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reflector-set-360x276.png 360w, https:\/\/sidecarphoto.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/reflector-set-768x588.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 982px) 100vw, 982px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon pad-15\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B0BMLSTW79\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><strong>Buy SmallRig Circular Reflector Set Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve linked to the 32&#8243; size because it&#8217;s a versatile size for portraits. However for full-body shots, the larger size of 42&#8243; plus the stand might be a better choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07B1447KF\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">7. The Original Lensball<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Lensball is a unique gift that really inspires creativity. Basically it&#8217;s a glass globe that allows you to take very cool images captured within the glass ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do note that this is NOT A GIFT FOR KIDS because the ball behaves like a lens and should be used very carefully in the sun to avoid hurting your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However for an adult photographer, it&#8217;s be a very fun tool with which to create very interesting shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon pad-15\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B07B1447KF\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B07B1447KF&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=sidecarphoto-20&amp;language=en_US\"><br><strong>Buy Lensball Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1607748509\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\">8. Understanding Exposure &#8211; Beginner Photography Book<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For the photographer who just got their first &#8216;real&#8217; camera, this book is the bible of learning about photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A common expectation is that you buy a new camera and your photos get better, but this is simply not true. A better camera might make your photos seem worse because they allow the photographer to make their own choices and don&#8217;t compensate for poor choices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So to really uplevel their photography, your friend might need this great primer on all basics of great photography.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a class=\"afflink afflink-amazon pad-15\" href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/1607748509\/?tag=sidecarphoto-20\" rel=\"nofollow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=1607748509&amp;Format=_SL250_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=sidecarphoto-20&amp;language=en_US\" alt=\"Gifts for Newbie Photographers\" border=\"0\"><br><strong>Buy Understanding Exposure Now<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Good Luck!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope you found a great gift for a beginner photographer on this list. Or even better, found something for yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think all these items are versatile enough for any photographer to enjoy &#8211; and yet delightful enough to inspire and motivate.<\/p>\n\n\n<p><em>This post has affiliate links.
