With just one week until Christmas, we thought it would be useful to compile a list of fun gift ideas to satisfy the budding smartphone photographer in your life. With the huge number of accessories available for smartphones, choices can become confusing very quickly. Our list features some of our favourite accessories for getting the most out of your smartphone photography.
Disclaimer: We must point out that we have not tried all of these products, but rather versions of them, and we have no affiliation to these sellers and receive no commission for any sales.
Charging Case
A charging case will wirelessly charge your phone on the go from a rechargeable battery in the phone case. You can also charge the case and your phone from a wireless charger if you come across one out and about. This has been a real lifesaver on a day out taking photos. Just remember to choose the right case for your particular phone and model!
Smartphone Ring Lamp
A smartphone ring lamp is well known in the world of vlogging for creating great light conditions, but it can be equally useful for portrait, product or food photography using your smartphone.
Touchscreen gloves
There’s nothing more frustrating on a cold day than having to take off your gloves to use your phone. Touchscreen gloves are a great option if you like to get outside in the cold weather and take some smartphone photos.
Selfie stick
The selfie stick may have had a bad rap over time, but it’s an incredibly useful piece of kit for smartphone photography, and not only for selfies. This stick transforms into a tripod making your images more stable and the stick is ideal if you want to take ground level shots and reflections on water without bending down.
Frames
So many photos get left on your phone never to be enjoyed, so why not turn those images into some stunning wall art instead?
Phone stand
Great for creating stability with your phone, whether on a call or taking a shot.
Photography challenge pack
The perfect gift for someone starting out with smartphone photography or looking to add a bit of creativity to their photos. This pack gives helpful guides and tips to create different shots with your camera. It also posts right through the letterbox!
Your Photography Year booklets
Like the challenger pack, this booklet gives ideas to experiment with your photography in a handy notebook that spans the whole year.
Personalised power bank
A thoughtful personalised gift and incredibly useful for that extra phone charge when you’re on the go.
Underwater dive casing
For those of you with a larger budget who has a loved one who’s mad about underwater photography, why not opt for an underwater dive case?
