If you’re after a photography shirt for yourself or for a gift for a photographer here are some ideas. Some are quirky, some are funny, some are meta, and some are cute, but they’re mostly just fun.
I’ve chosen some of my favorites and skipped the endless “I shoot people” variations and others that can be, well, creepy. So here are some of my favorites. Most of these are available in a variety of sizes and colors and in men’s, women’s, and unisex styles. And they often come in different shirt designs, from t-shirts to long-sleeve shirts. There are also some cute ones available for kids.
I’ve recently come across some great classic photography t-shirts from a company called Analog Artifact. I’ll add some below soon; in the meantime, you can find their range here.

Beware of the Photographer
