About Us

Our founders were Californian nature photographers who loved the outdoors but lacked a protective, quick-access camera bag that could keep up with their adventures.

So one day they decided to create their own.

For nearly 50 years, we've earned a reputation for reliability among photographers around the world. Tamrac has become the trusted bag of choice for many well-known National Geographic, Associated Press, White House press corps and professional sports photographers. We design solutions focused on protecting and transporting camera equipment, electronics, accessories and more to meet the evolving needs of today's creatives. With innovation as our core value, we created many of today's most widely used product features, such as Dual and Triple-Access Systems™, Dual Foam Technology™, windowpane mesh™ and Lens-Gate® partitioning systems. We even pioneered the telephoto zoom lens case in the late 1970s, which has since become a standard design in every holster-style camera bag on the market.

The Tamrac logo, a stylized larch tree, is a tribute to our founder’s love of the outdoors and dedication to his passion for photography. Our mission is to provide quality camera and accessory solutions without sacrificing mobility for protection or vice versa.

We make products for creative people.
