Make a Single Person Cry Day Valentine’s Day isn’t too far away. The photographer in your life (or you) probably wants something new and snazzy. But no one has to make their wallet cry: they just have to be thoughtful.
Here are a bunch of thoughtful gifts for Valentine’s Day.
A Giant Canvas Print
Very few things can surprise a photographer like a giant canvas print of their own work. Seeing it in person vs. on a screen is a totally different experience. We recommend using a canvas because canvas prints work best in apartments due to their abilities to suck up light and not reflect it.
