My Black Friday List of Hot Deals on Photography Gear (and our best deal of the year on KelbyOne)

The Black Friday sales are here (well, it is Black Friday), and so are a bunch of cool deals. Here’s some I dug up from around the Web, and I included our KelbyOne deal links as well (and we’d love to have you join as a member – 2022 is going to be an incredible year of learning). Anyway, on to the deals (and I’ve got a bunch!):

Gravity Backdrops are 50% Off

These are the hand-painted backdrops I use myself. They are awesome, and they are 50% Off PLUS free shipping (and they were already a deal for this level of quality).

Here’s their link.

KelbyOne Pro Memberships (our best price of the year)

If you’ve always thought of becoming a part of the KelbyOne Online Educational Community, this is the best time ever, at our best price of the year. Just $149 for a full year, full access to everything (over 800+ courses, and thousands and thousands of lessons, plus a subscription to Photoshop User magazine).

Here’s the link.

On1 Software Plugins for Lightroom & Photoshop

They’re offering 30% off across the board on their award-winning plug-ins (I use their Effects 2022, their AI Portrait 2022, and their HDR 2022. Erik uses their AI Noise big time for his astrophotography).

Get a Black Friday Deal On Some Platypod Gear!

Everybody wants some Platypod gear, and they have a bunch of Black Friday deals.

Here’s the link to their deals.

Topaz Plug-ins For Photoshop & Lightroom (and a code for better than Black Friday pricing)

Here’s a discount code you can use that will get you 15% off Topaz Labs Black Friday prices (and that should give you the lowest price I’ve ever seen on Topaz plug-ins).

The code (at checkout) is GROSTAMI but you have to use THIS LINK to get this extra 15% off double-savings deal.

Here’s some of their bundle deals: Their Image Bundle, which include Denoize AI, their absolutely killer sharpening plug-in (Kuna swears by it) and Gigapixel AI is usually $259.97, but it’s on sale for just $84.99. Their “Everything” bundle (which includes all their plug-ins) is normally $559.96, but for Black Friday it’s $169.98.

B&H Photo Black Friday Deals

And they have a BUNCH of them!!! The best camera store in the world!

Flash and Lighting Deals From Westcott

They’ve got their deals separated into handy little categories, and they’ve got lots of great gear (I use their FJ-400s strobes and their FJ 80 flashes, along with their Rapid Box series of soft boxes for flash and studio lights. Great stuff and insanely good prices).

Here’s the link to their deals

50% Off All DXO Plug-ins (including the Nik Collection)

That’s one heck of a Black Friday deal, and some great plug-ins.

Here’s the link.

Our “Holiday Gear Guide” Episode of “The Grid” is Here!

If you’re not sure what to buy the photographer on your Holiday Gift List, here’s a whole show packed full of ideas, with me and my guest Terry White (who always has gift ideas nobody else is covering). You can watch the episode below – tons of great ideas, from stocking stuffers on up. 

Much more coming next Monday!

Next Monday is “Cyber Monday” and Larry Becker and I are hosting our annual “Super Cyber” 10-minute only deals live broadcast at the top of every hour. We asked some of our friends in the industry to offer a crazy insane deals on their gear but just for 10-minutes only, and their deals are just ludicrous. More details here on Monday, but make sure you don’t miss it – the deals they offer are just nuts!

Have a great Holiday weekend everybody. Happy Shopping!
