Five Star Gift Ideas

If your friend is into street photography as a hobby or profession, here are some gift ideas that you can consider:

1. A photography book - There are some fantastic books on street photography from renowned photographers that your friend can draw inspiration from. You can opt for one of the classics like Bruce Davidson's "Subway" or Joel Meyerowitz's "Bystander: A History of Street Photography," or a recent publication like Vivian Maier's "The Color Work."

2. A camera strap - A comfortable camera strap is a must-have for any photographer. You can search for unique and stylish camera straps that show off your friend's love for street photography.

3. A photo editing software subscription - Many photographers use editing software to enhance their images. You can consider gifting a subscription to a professional photo editing software like Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom.

4. A handheld light - Street photographers often need an extra light for their shots. A handheld light like a LED flashlight can be helpful, especially during early morning or late night shoots.

5. A camera bag - To keep all their gear organized, many photographers carry a bag. A stylish camera bag with compartments for accessories and lenses can go a long way in protecting their gear during travel.

6. A workshop or photography course - If your friend is looking to sharpen their skills, there are several street photography workshops and courses that they can sign up for. You can find courses that cater to their specific interests or a general workshop that can help them improve their craft.

7. Photo printing credits - Printing photos can get costly, and your friend might appreciate some photo printing credits. This way, they can have some of their favorite street photography shots from their collection printed and framed.

Consider what your friend might need or appreciate the most and choose a thoughtful and meaningful gift based on your budget. Remember, the best gifts are the ones that show that you've put thought and effort into finding something they'll love.

Or you can get her/him a star map with an important date you share.
