Peak Design – Up to 30% Off Sitewide

Peak Design rarely discounts this deeply, so if you’re thinking about a new bag, strap, or travel accessory, grab it now. Their gear is rugged, thoughtful, and built to last. I’ve used their bags and accessories for years, and they’ve survived flights, rain, and long shoots and still look nearly brand new.

My Top Peak Design Picks for 2025

Outdoor Backpack – I have the 25L, and it is BY FAR, the best camera backpack I’ve ever had. I still have my Everyday Backpack (which served me well for many years), but the Oudoor Backpack excels in comfort and customizability. I use it with the Smedium Camera Cube and Small Tech Pouch.

Outdoor Sling – The 7L plus the X-Small Camera Cube have become essential for daily carry. With the camera cube, it makes a great day-use, walkaround camera bag, and without the cube, it is an a great purse for travel, bike rides, and more.

Roller Pro – This is THE BEST suitcase I’ve ever owned. It is exceptionally well made and performed exceptionally well on my recent trip to Scotland.

I could go on and link to every piece of gear that I own, but that would be post of its own. Check out the items above, plus straps, packing cubes, and more here.

Radiant Photo – 50% Off

Radiant Photo 2 is my go-to tool for adding that final bit of polish to my images before sharing or printing.

Radiant Photo 2 Ultimate Bundle $99 (regularly $203)

• Radiant Photo 2 – Fast, intelligent, true-to-life Assistive AI, natural color, no cloud uploads, no over-editing with stunning results the moment you open your photo.
• 35 Creative Looks – 27 bold, crisp natural landscape Looks + 8 classic, punchy, elegant monchrome looks

Luminar Neo – Up to 77% Off the Ecosystem

I’ve used Luminar Neo for years and it is amazing creative tool – way more than just sky replacements or HDR merge. Black Friday has their best prices of the year, so if you need to upgrade or simply want to give it a try, click here.

Topaz Labs – Save $170 on Topaz Studio or 15% off Single Apps

Topaz apps have saved more of my noisy or soft images than I can count. If you’re shooting high ISO, older lenses, or fast action, these tools make a huge difference. Topaz recently made some big changes to their product line and pricing model, so if your older version of Topaz Photo AI has expired, this is a great time to get back on board and save a few dollars on the new Topaz Photo or the entire suite of apps. My faves are:

Topaz Photo – An all-in-one enhancement tool that handles noise reduction, sharpening, and upscaling. Best for overall problem-solving before printing.

Topaz Gigapixel – A dedicated upscaling tool built for large, aggressive enlargements. Great for highest-quality upscales and big prints.

SlickPic – Up to 80% Off

I’ve tried several options for my website over the years, both for blogging and portfolio. I’ve love my WordPress site for the blog and main portal, but never found a gallery plugin that worked very well. Enter SlickPic: it is now my go-to for clean and professional online galleries. If you’re interesting in building (or improving) your presence on the web, please check out SlickPic.

For New Customers: 50% off SlickPic Pro + Design Jumpstart for $1

If you’ve been putting off building or refreshing your photography website, this is the nudge you need. SlickPic Pro is their full-featured portfolio and gallery platform, and it’s half off for Black Friday. That alone saves you more than $400.

They’re also throwing in a Design Jumpstart for $1, where their team sets up a polished template and does the first-pass design for you. You hand them your images, and they handle the heavy lifting. If you want to launch a solid portfolio without spending days figuring out the layout, this is the easiest path.

For Existing Customers: SEO Booster for $99 (normally $497)

If you already have a SlickPic website and want more people to find it, this is the one to grab.

Their SEO Booster takes your existing site and turns it into a Google-friendly, high-authority portfolio. The SlickPic team does the optimization for you—metadata, structure, indexing, cleanup, and all the parts most photographers don’t want to mess with.

Adobe – 50% Off Creative Cloud Pro

I know most people reading this likely already have an Adobe subscription for Lightroom and Photoshop, but if you don’t and you want to check it out, this is a great Black Friday deal! These apps are the industry standard for a reason and continue to be a the core of my photography workflow.

Red River Paper

If you print your photos, I highly recommend checking out Red River Paper. My favorites include Arctic Polar Luster, Polar Gloss Metallic, and Polar Matte. I print at home frequently using my Canon Pixma Pro 200 and Red River Paper. Their papers aren’t cheap, but they aren’t outrageously priced either, and the Black Friday sale makes them even more affordable!

Adorama Camera

Adorama, one of the biggest camera stores in the US, always runs strong Black Friday discounts across cameras, lenses, accessories, and storage. Here are a few specific products that I have or are on my own wish list:

Canon EOS R5 Mark II – On sale for $3899, regularly $4399

Canon RF 100-500 f/4.5-7.1 L IS USM Lens – On sale for $2599, regularly $3099

Canon Pixma Pro-200S – On sale for $429, regularly $647 (I bought one last year on Black Friday and LOVE IT!)

Fujifilm X-T5 – On sale for $1899, regularly $1999

There are so many more things I could list, but I’ll leave it there for now.

Printique – 25% off Sitewide

I love to print my work, and sometimes I print a lot larger than my Canon Pixma Pro-200 can handle. That’s when I outource to a high-quality lab like Printique. They can help you create stunning wall art, keepsake photo books, and so much more.
