Look for books specifically focused on street photography, wildlife photography, or architectural photography. These books can provide him with insights, tips, and visual inspiration.

5. Subscription to a photography magazine: A subscription to a reputable photography magazine can keep him updated with the latest trends, techniques, and emerging talents in the photography world. It can also serve as a continuous source of inspiration for his own work.

6. Editing software: If he doesn't already have one, consider gifting him a high-quality photo editing software such as Adobe Lightroom or Adobe Photoshop. These tools can significantly enhance his post-processing skills and help him bring his creative vision to life.

It can provide him with the opportunity to explore different photography styles and gain inspiration from established and emerging artists.

Remember, the best gift for your son would be something that aligns with his specific interests within photography. Take into consideration his preferred genre (street, wildlife, or architecture) and try to find a gift that enhances his skills, knowledge, and enjoyment of capturing beautiful images.
