Eco-friendly photography camera bags
Traveling or even just going to shoot for a day requires lugging around quite a bit of camera equipment for many hours. Having a great bag that lasts and is comfortable is essential for photographers. These are our favorite eco-friendly camera bag picks:
WAYKS

Ries wooden eco-friendly tripod
According to Ries, the company “started the industrial “green manufacturing” in 1963 when it moved to source plantation raised woods and is considered the greenest manufacturer in all of the photography equipment industry.”
Reclaimed photo frame
Photographers have to have the right frame for their work. Why not gift them a framed copy of their work in a reclaimed photo frame you find at your local second-hand store, online auction, or source one from picture frames which are sourcing their materials from reclaimed barn wood, upcycled wood fiber, or sustainably managed forests. The latter can also be a great tip for photographers wanting to provide sustainable photo frames for their clients.
Non-physical gifts for photographers
Giving a photographer a physical gift always runs the risk of being non-eco-friendly because if they already have one or won’t use it, it will likely go to waste.
In this case a safe bet would be getting them an annual subscription for a photo editing service like remove.bg. This leaves a minimal footprint and is sure to put a grin on their face. Read more about how this high-quality background remover helps photographers speed up their workflow.
Alright – that’s a wrap on our top picks of eco-friendly gifts for photographers. Happy gifting!
