In the age of social media, travel photography is everywhere. As we mention in our best travel photography camera guide, we wish we could recommend just one camera and it’s much the same with gift ideas; the best cameras and gifts are going to be different for all different people.
This gift guide contains ten interesting and useful products under £100 that are certain to make your or your recipient’s travel-photography life much easier. But rest assured, if you need any help with your decision-making, you can give us a call or drop us an email.
We also have a couple of guides for the best cameras for travel photographers and influencers!

Peak Design Leash - Midnight
Coming in as the lighter version of Peak Design’s Slide strap, this lite version offers the same combination of function with style.

It comes with a convertible light stand/selfie stick that you can use to get great selfies or photograph different perspectives.

Backing up your photos is very important. It’s all too common for SD cards to corrupt or your computer breaks and your photos are lost forever (despite your best efforts to look after your kit). This is obviously a terrible thing to happen for any discipline but it just seems to hit home a little more with travel photography. You’ve been away exploring and documenting the world and then you lose all the images you took. Back up your images, folks. Or, make sure that friends or family back up their images.
