You’d think buying a gift for someone with a passion for painting or golfing or music or gardening, for example, would be simple. But it turns out all that experience leads to some pretty specific preferences — for the right brushes, golf balls, equipment, and such. That’s especially true for photographers.

New cameras and lenses in particular get expensive fast. So what’s a gift giver shopping for a photography lover to do? Consider our list, and mix and match to make the perfect bundle for your favorite shutter-pusher. After all, they’re gifting the moment to everyone around them all year long.

Start with SmugMug.

Surprise: Your photographer is going to need a place to store all those breathtaking photos. And SmugMug makes for one beautiful backdrop, with unlimited storage to boot. Plus they get to design the look of their own photo site.

Choose from four plans to suit your shooter’s style. Your recipient will get instant access to ClubSmug, which offers dozens of deals on prints and all sorts of products photographers crave.

Help build their brand.

That SmugMug site is going to need a name. So we’ve partnered with GoDaddy to make it easy to add a unique web address to any SmugMug account.

San Francisco–based Peak Designs makes some of the best bags and packs in the industry. They’re outrageously rugged, totally customizable, and backed by a lifetime warranty. This seriously may be the last camera bag you ever buy. Not to mention the sturdiest strap. And a SmugMug subscription gives you 20% off your order from Peak Designs.

Borrow before you buy.

Photographers are picky. And camera equipment adds up fast. So it only makes sense to test before you invest. BorrowLenses, the nation’s largest photography- and video-equipment rental service, is one step ahead of you. Their huge array of lenses, camera bodies, and other gear is standing by, and SmugMug subscribers get 10% off each rental.

Make it picture perfect.

The art of photo editing is a big part of the fun. So new Adobe subscribers with a SmugMug membership get 15% off their first year of a Creative Cloud All Apps subscription. This lets you or your recipient edit things to perfection but also allows access to Adobe Lightroom, which keeps all your photography synced between devices and platforms, including SmugMug.

These are just a few of the deals available exclusively to SmugMug customers through ClubSmug. Subscribe or gift a SmugMug subscription today for access to all the amazing discounts and deals.
