Black Friday Deals for Photographers and Creatives 2018

Anyone else overwhelmed with the amount of Black Friday ads yet?! If you’re a photographer or creative I’ve created a list of all my favorite Black Friday deals. That being said, it can be easy to get swept up in the hype and feel like you need to buy everything.

Whenever I’m buying something for my business I think about the following things first: 

1. Is this purchase going to move the ship forward? If I buy that course/gadget/program is it going to have a clear positive impact on my business? What positive return will I get from this purchase?

2. Does it solve a problem I’m having? If you’re struggling with lighting a course on lighting specific to what you’re trying to learn would be helpful. If your client communication is disorganized a good CRM would improve their experience.  

 (I’ll be updating this list as I find new deals. Some of the names don’t have links because their deals aren’t released yet or I haven’t found them) 

Camera Gear

SAN DISK - Extreme Plus 32 GB for $12.99 (originally $25.22) I like these ones because they write extremely fast. I was using a different type of card and it would lag if I shot too fast.

CANON 5D MARK IV - $500 off. I just bought this camera and I am so incredibly excited!! No more driving to the camera rental place every time I shoot a wedding or something inside. My 6D lasted me 4 years but it was time to upgrade :) (Affiliate link)

CANON 24-70mm - $300 off. This lens is a versatile portrait lens especially when shooting indoors. (Affiliate link)

CANON 50 mm 1.4 - $100 off. A good all around portrait lens (Affiliate link)
