Five Star Gift Ideas

If your grandson likes street photography, then there are a lot of thoughtful and meaningful gifts you could choose to delight him this Christmas. Here are some ideas:

1. Photography book: Photography enthusiasts always love collecting new books to learn from or just enjoy the beauty of different photography styles. Look for a book that covers street photography, and consider the work of some highly acclaimed photographers such as Bruce Gilden, Vivian Maier, or James Nachtwey. These books will give your grandson inspiration and help him learn from their creativity.

2. Camera accessories: Your grandson will certainly appreciate accessories that will help him explore different angles and techniques in street photography. Consider a tripod to help him set up shots, or a camera bag that can hold all his gear. Alternatively, you can search for a compact and lightweight tripod that lets him take shots in a more discreet manner.

3. Lens filters: Camera lenses are critical in photography, so you could consider a set of filters to help him take tactile and creative photos. For instance, Neutral Density filters reduce the amount of light that comes through the lens while high-definition circular polarizing filters will remove reflections and glare from your images. These filters will add unique effects and help your grandson get creative with his shots.

4. A camera or lens: If your grandson doesn’t have his own camera or if you want to upgrade his equipment, then purchasing a camera or a high-quality lens would be an excellent gift idea. For street photography, compact mirrorless cameras or a DSLR are ideal. For lenses, you can choose something that offers a wide-angle field of view, or a zoom lens they can use for various focal lengths, depending on what they already have.

5. A photography workshop: Finally, you could consider giving your grandson the gift of a photography workshop or conference. These events can help him learn new skills, network with other photographers, and get inspired by experts in the field. A workshop might be just what your grandson needs to take his street photography to the next level.

By putting any or all of these gift ideas together, you are sure to find the perfect Christmas gift for your street photography-loving grandson- a gift that resonates with his hobby and interests.

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