Five Star Gift Ideas

If your friend is a photography enthusiast and loves street photography, here are some ideas for a birthday gift that they will definitely appreciate:

1. A good quality camera strap: Street photography can be quite immersive, with photographers often walking for long hours to capture the perfect shot. A comfortable and sturdy camera strap will help your friend carry their camera around with ease.

2. A photography book: A photography book showcasing the work of a famous street photographer is a fantastic gift for your friend to get inspiration from. You can look for books themed around street photography that feature influential photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson, William Klein or Bruce Davidson.

3. Photography workshop/class: Gifting a photography class or workshop is a unique and helpful way to encourage your friend to hone their photography skills. Many cities offer workshops specifically focused on street photography, which would be a great opportunity for your friend to learn from pros and improve their photography.

4. Portable light source: Street photographers often work with natural light, but sometimes a small light source can come in handy to add certain effects. A portable light source would be useful and add a fun element to their photography.

5. Camera bag: For street photographers, it's essential to have a camera bag that is not only functional but looks great too. A camera bag designed for street photographers has compartments that can store not only the camera, but also accessories such as batteries and memory cards. A stylish bag that reflects their style will make for an ideal gift.

6. A ticket for a photo exhibition: If there is a photography exhibition in your area or in your friend’s favourite city, buying them a ticket or offering to go with them would be a great way to encourage their passion for photography.

By picking the right gift for your friend, you can help them pursue their interest in street photography and support them in their creative journey.

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