Professional Photography Gloves

• Professional photography gloves are designed to keep the fingertips free. In particular, a photography glove has only the trigger finger revealed so that it's ready to press the button and snap a photo -- the other fingers are kept warm beneath the material. Certain types and brands of photography gloves also include a flip-top end on the trigger finger so that you can pull up the material up to keep the fingertip warm when you are not taking a photo. When you see something picture-worthy, just pull down the tip and take a steady and solid photo. Some gloves also have a flip-top end on the thumb.
  
  

Fingerless Gloves

• Although not made with a photographer in mind, fingerless gloves are a stylish and practical way to keep your hands and fingers warm while also keeping your fingertips free to manipulate the camera's buttons and dials.
  
  Fingerless gloves are manufactured in a variety of materials such as wool, cashmere and leather. Invest in a pair that seems comfortable and suits your personal style. A pair of cashmere-blend fingerless gloves in a neutral color (e.g. black, gray or brown) will complement any style, and retails for an affordable price.
  
  Maintain warmth all the way up your arm by investing in a pair of gloves that are made with an extended wrist -- tuck the wrist material under your coat or jacket sleeves and your hands and arms should stay warm while you take your photos.
  
  

Outdoor Gloves

• If you are shooting photos in a more hostile or cold environment, cover your entire hand with a sturdy reinforced pair of outdoor activity gloves. This type of glove is usually manufactured with a waterproof outer layer to keep your hands dry and is also fitted with insulation (usually down feathers or a synthetic filling).Outdoor gloves are often bulky and can hinder your ability to push the smaller buttons on a camera display, and are only really recommended for those who have larger more-industrial cameras.
  
  

Leather Gloves

• Not only do leather gloves look stylish but they also help grip your camera. In windy winter conditions a firm hold and solid grip is vitally important unless you want to drop or lose your camera. Leather gloves are usually designed to hug your hand so you should have enough maneuverability and flexibility to press the buttons and dials. Leather gloves come in a variety of finishes and colors; invest in a pair that suits your personal style and your camera. Black leather gloves go well with almost any garment unless you wear a lot of brown, in which case you should opt for a brown or dark gray pair of gloves.
