Gear Discounts from Adorama
I’ve partnered with Adorama to help my workshop students get better deals on camera gear. While they can’t offer general coupon codes, they can provide custom discounts.
If you’re thinking about buying camera gear, build a cart on Adorama.com, and email it to Yoni (yoniy [at] adorama [dot] com). Mention my name (Bryan Hansel). He’ll see if he can get you better pricing. If you end up buying, you get the deal, and I’ll earn a small commission.

Product Discounts
I’ve worked with several companies to get my workshop participant’s discount. I use these products or services myself. There are more in a document below.
- Singh-Ray Filters: Get 10% off with the code HANSEL10.
- DXO: 15% off their software using the code HANSEL15.
- Backblaze: This is one of the best investments you can make. You should back up your photos in two local places: one hard drive in addition to your local hard drive, and you should back up online in the cloud. I use Backblaze to back up to the cloud. If you sign up through my link, you get an extra month free and I get an extra month free. Here’s my link: https://secure.backblaze.com/r/02tpwk
- TicketTailor: Do you run events? TicketTailor is the best ticketing system that I’ve used. It makes selling tickets so easy, and it’s super flexible. Plus, it’s inexpensive compared to other services. With my link, you can get 50 free credits to try it out. https://get.tickettailor.com/z87tf8kg3hr4
- Leofoto USA: Buy direct and get a 12% discount with the code: hansel12
- Kinesis Gear: Buy direct and use the code for a 15% discount. Their F169 is the best filter holder bag on the market. Code: Hansel15
- SmugMug: If you’re looking for an easy to use website to host your portfolio and offer your images for sale, SmugMug is one of the places. This is company I use for selling my prints. For new users, you get a 10 to 15% discount by using this link: http://www.bryanhansel.com/out/smugmug
- KEH: If you are looking to sell used gear or buy new gear, KEH is where I turn. I know with lots of photographers switching to mirrorless there are a lot of old lenses to sell and for sale. Give KEH a chance. If you start your transaction through my link, I may earn a small commission.
- Luminar: This is a image editing program that is powerful and has lots of fun features. It works as a plugin to Lightroom. I wouldn’t buy this as your only image editor, but it does have a lot of automated features that it may work for you.
- Adorama: If I’m not buying direct from Nikon or other companies, I use Adorama. I’ve had great luck with them in all the interactions that I’ve had with them. I recently teamed up with them and will be working with them in the coming years to make sure that you can get the right gear for my workshops.
- For infrared conversion, I highly recommend getting a conversion from Kolari Vision. While it doesn’t get you a discount, here’s my affiliate link: https://kolarivision.com/?ref=150. I’d suggest converting a mirrorless body and using their magnetic filter system to get the spectrum that you want. Hint: You likely want 590nm, IR Chrome Lite, UV/IR Cut with H-alpha pass (for night photography).
- Start your Amazon shopping experience using my affiliate link, and I’ll get a small commission. Here’s the link: https://amzn.to/4d6udZS Buy early and buy often. This works for anything you buy and not just camera gear.
- Sirui tripods: I’m working with this company to get a discount. Right now I get commission but I don’t have a code to offer, yet.
