Gift-giving is difficult at the best of times and when it comes to photography the possibilities are endless. This often means those unfamiliar with photography are overwhelmed with choices, but my number one advice on this topic is – you can't go wrong with a photography book!
Books on photography make great gifts for photographers, as you know one thing is certain, photographers love photography. We love flicking through the pages of photography books, whether it's the work of photography icons, a new contemporary photographer making waves, or a how-to on a certain approach to a genre.
I have made a short list of five photography books that have been discounted for Black Friday and would make a fantastic addition to the bookshelf, whether buying for yourself or the photographer in your life who is difficult to buy for!

This is just a very small selection of photography books from one retailer, aimed to inspire further exploration of the printed medium. I highly recommend checking out other esteemed photography book publishers that may not be found on Amazon, such as Stanley/Barker, Damiani, and Mack Books to name just a few!
The best thing about photography books for gifts is there is one about any subject you can imagine, making gift-giving simple! Just search for a photography book around one of the recipient's interests and you're sure to be on to a winner.
There is nothing like seeing the work of your favorite photographers as they were intended to be seen – in print!
