Holiday Gift Alert: Perhaps The Coolest T-Shirt for Off Camera Flash Shooters Ever!
If you’re looking for a really unique holiday gift for the photographer on your list (or you just want a really cool t-shirt that nobody else will have), AND you totally love the idea that 100% of the profits go to feeding and caring for kids in a orphanage in Kenya that you guys helped to build (see below), then man have I got a holiday gift idea for you!
I came up with the idea for these off-camera flash t-shirts earlier this year, and with the gracious help of the folks over at cafepress.com, you can order yours today in different colors and styles (men’s and ladies’ versions) , and sweatshirt and hoodie designs, and if you don’t want the t-shirt, there’s even a coffee cup for the off-camera flash geek on your holiday gift list.
There are four different shirt designs:
- Group A, Channel 1
- Group B, Channel 2
- Group C, Channel 3
- Group D, Channel 4
and the coffee cup, and you can find ‘em all right here.
Note: The Springs of Hope Kenya Orphanage was built this year from the ground up with financial help from the readers of this blog who have adopted this orphanage as their own. The orphanage is now fully open (they finally got electricity, which was a big hurdle), and they are housing and feeding some really wonderful kids, including their latest orphan who is HIV positive.
This is one of two fund raisers I’ve got planned for the end of the year, and I’m very grateful for your continued support of these very deserving children. If you’re not a t-shirt person, but want to help feed these kids, you can make a PayPal donation to Springs of Hope right here.
Cool shirts Scott. hehe I just got to have a couple for me and the ‘ol lady
I thought the shirts were for labeling your VAS’s…. so you can know which flash has which setting. =)
Does it come with a flash shoe on the shoulder?
Ha ha – funny.
Thanks Scott, I love my “flasher” shirt you turned us on to also. Got one of these on the way.
Hi Scott,
Wonderful idea! I’m glad to hear the kid now have electricity! I’ll be heading over to Cafepress and getting my shirts!
You’re blessed!

Fun idea. I still think my favorite is the flasher shirt.
Thanks, Scott, glad to help. Cool shirts. Just ordered mine!
Would I be sending the wrong message if I give someone the Channel 4 Group D shirt? That’s like being 12th string or something, right?
Or they have a crap load of lights!
Very cool idea for a t-shirt. I’ll try and think of who I can give one too besides myself!
I am not so sure about the shirt, but the cause is worthy enough. As a photographer and as one serving in a similar capacity (NGO), I love the fact that you are helping people tangibly. Great cause…and great reminder to think outside of ourselves.
Love the shirts! Now we just need Groups A, B, C, and D specified for each channel so we can assign a shirt to each assistant for clear labeling of which flash group they’re managing! LOL!
Cheers!
Trevor
…but I want Group B, Channel 1.
Scott, THANK YOU for helping HIS cause and serving the needs of the orphans. I praise God for your generosity and am truly humbled by your actions. Thanks again.
In HIM
hey Scott a quick heads up
if you choose the fitted t-shirt in light colour the fitting is fitted – see here:

if you choose the fitted t-shirt as dark it’s standard fit – see here:
http://www.cafepress.com/scottkelby.420573887
you might want to get that corrected as i’d like a dark fitted t-shirt but deffo want it to be fitted not standard
cheers!
Would have bought one if it had referenced that it was a charitable endeavor on the back. Scott’s big on capitalizing…and being the only one taking public credit for even something admirable is consistent with that…and with why I really don’t patronize Scott’s commercial offerings.
“… if it had referenced that it was a charitable endeavor on the back…” is such an arrogant statement. So if YOU don’t get others to see on your shirt that YOU purchased it for charity then YOU don’t want it? Sounds like YOU do things for the wrong reason. Its sad if you need a shirt that says you donated to charity to trump up your image. If you don’t want to patronize Scott, why continue to read his blog and rip him off of his knowledge? You surely like that don’t you?
WHAT? “…and being the only one taking public credit for even something admirable is consistent with that…” Are you being serious? Really? Here is a direct copy/paste from Scotts post above ” Note: The Springs of Hope Kenya Orphanage was built this year from the ground up with financial help from the readers of this blog who have adopted this orphanage as their own. The orphanage is now fully open (they finally got electricity, which was a big hurdle), and they are housing and feeding some really wonderful kids, including their latest orphan who is HIV positive.

If you’re not a t-shirt person, but want to help feed these kids, you can make a PayPal donation to Springs of Hope ” Oh yeah, I see how he is taking all the credit. It saddens me that you see it this way. Truly saddens me.
I’d love a photography t-shirt in which 100% of it’s proceeds go to charity, but I don’t use flash. I’m a natural light girl. I’d love a design that reflects my style too–what a fab idea.
Funny and beautiful.
Is it available as 18% gray?
LOL, there should be a warning that there might be misfires with Canon radio interference!
Is there a group D?
Scott, the Group A Channel One T Shirts are a great idea. It is a reall conversation starter and for a good cause.
Here is an idea — while my wife wears a lot of T shirts she wouldn’t be as enthused about a photo t shirt that she would have to constantly have to explain (go figure).
She would be enthused about a T Shirt which had “Springs of Hope, Kenya, Africa” on it.
This might also be a fund raising opportunity!
Good luch with the fund raising for this good cause.
