A DSLR Camera
A DSLR camera model is the perfect base camera for any professional photographer, budding or veteran. This is due to its capability to capture great detail from landscapes to portraits even in low-light circumstances. They are designed for high-end, professional photography and will set up any photographer for a career.
For the professional in your life, consider the Nikon D850 Body Black Digital SLR Camera. Designed with an FX-Format Return Rich and fine detail is provided by the onboard illuminated 45.7 Megapixel CMOS Sensor. With an ISO range of 64 – 25,600 (expandable to 108,400), the EXPEED 5 Image Processing Engine supports this, enabling you to capture excellent detail even in challenging lighting situations.
A Mirrorless Camera
For a model to step up any professional photographer's game, a mirrorless camera will help anyone unlock their full creative potential. In addition to having interchangeable lenses, an electronic viewfinder, and a sensor that is always exposed to light, mirrorless cameras are smaller and lighter than DSLRs.
A good starting model would be the Nikon Z 30 Body w/Nikkor 16-50 mm VR Lens Mirrorless Camera. With sharp details and complex textures, the Z 30's images captivate your audience's senses across the entire image. The APS-C size/DX-format picture sensor, which is 14 larger and more sophisticated than the standard smartphone image sensor, receives a larger volume of light, which is the crucial factor.

Camera Lens
For a professional photographer that already has a solid kit of camera bodies, a camera lens is a great way to let them expand the potential of their camera. To enhance your travel shots, consider renting a 35mm or 50mm lens. You could also choose zoom lenses with a 400mm maximum focal length to enhance your wildlife photography. You can capture sharp details at extraordinary distances with telephoto lenses.
There is a wide range of lenses to suit a variety of models and brands from Canon, Nikon, Sony, and more. Camera House’s friendly team are always happy to help find the right lens to match any camera in-store or online.
A Camera Drone
Expand creative potential for the professional photographer in your life by giving them the gift of an ariel perspective. Drones are a wonderful way to capture the world from high above.
The range of DJI Spark Alpine Drones are a great place to start, with options for everyone from beginners to experienced pilots. As a market leader in drone photography, you can feel assured you’re gifting a professional level drone with fantastic photographic capabilities.

A Camera Tripod
A tripod is a must-have accessory for serious photographers to provide stability when shooting. This is even more important for photographers interested in telephoto, night sky, or action photography. There are many different types of tripods, gimbals, or monopods to suit every type of photographer.
As a perfect all-rounder, we recommend the Manfrotto MK190XPRO4-3W 4 Section - Tripod Kit with 3 Way Head. With the centre column mechanism, you can swiftly expand the column in either a vertical or horizontal direction and fast switch between perspectives. As a result, you will have access to a considerably greater variety of framing and shooting chances, ensuring that you never miss an opportunity.

Camera Accessories
Camera accessories are always a wonderful and affordable gift to help enhance any professional photographers kit. Think batteries, cables, or even cleaning gear to make any professionals life easier!
Memory cards will never go unappreciated, offering the opportunity to take more images and footage when on the go! For a large amount of space, check out the Lexar Professional CFexpress Type B - 128GB GOLD Card 1750MB/s read / 1000MB/s write which provides an impressive read transfer speed of up to 1750Mbps and a write transfer speed of up to 1000Mbps.
Similarly, camera bags to protect equipment are a wonderful gift that most photographers put off buying themselves. Consider the ProMaster Cityscape 10 Shoulder Bag which features light-coloured interior fabric for easy viewing of items despite low-light. It also has built-in memory card pouches on interior roof flap, a rain cover that easily tucks into dedicated compartment, and a top flap for easy access.
