Five Star Gift Ideas

If your boyfriend is a big fan of film photography then it's clear that he has a passion for this craft. With that in mind, here are some unique and meaningful gift ideas to help take his photography skills to the next level.

1. Film Subscription: Treat your boyfriend to a film subscription service such as Film for Good. Every month, they will send him a roll of film in the post that's been developed from a community of film photographers from around the world. By subscribing, he'll get different types of film, different brands, and the ability to try new things. It's a perfect way for him to explore and try different types of film photography.

2. Vintage Camera: Does your boyfriend collect vintage cameras? If so, this could be the perfect gift for him. Head to a local flea market or vintage store and see what you can find. Just be sure to do some research first to ensure that you're getting a camera that's still in working condition. This gift will not only satisfy his love for photography but also his appreciation for rare items.

3. Film Developing Kit: Film developing may sound daunting, but there are various kits available now that make it easy to do so. Invest in a kit that comes with everything he will need to develop and scan his own photos, such as the LAB-BOX from Ars-Imago. This gift will not only give him more control over his photography, but it will also save him some money on developing costs too.

4. Books On Film Photography: Photography books can be the best gifts for anyone loves photography. The book "The Film Photography Handbook" by Chris Marquardt is an excellent choice for anyone who wants to understand the art of film photography. It covers everything from film types, exposure guidelines, camera techniques, developing, and scanning - all the methods involved to create a mesmerizing photograph.

5. Film Photography Workshop: Take your boyfriend's passion to the next level by gifting him a workshop ticket. There are several film photography workshops available, both online and offline. He can learn new techniques from experts and make memories with like-minded people. This gift will not only improve his craft, but it will also enable him to connect with other film photographers from his community.

By picking one of these thoughtful gifts, you'll give your boyfriend a truly meaningful and personal present that he will cherish forever.

Or you can get him a star map with the date when he was born.
