For your son who loves photography, there are several meaningful and personal gift ideas that can cater to his passion and help enhance his skills. Here are a few suggestions:

1. Camera Accessories: Consider gifting him some essential camera accessories like a high-quality camera strap, a tripod, lens filters, or an external flash. These accessories can greatly enhance the versatility and functionality of his photography equipment.

2. Photography Books: Gift him a collection of photography books by renowned photographers. These books can inspire and educate him with different techniques, composition ideas, and even showcase photographs from different genres like portrait, landscape, and street photography.

3. Photography Workshop or Course: Enroll him in a photography workshop or course that focuses on his specific interests. This will give him the opportunity to learn from experienced photographers, experiment with different techniques, and meet fellow photography enthusiasts who can inspire and motivate him.

4. Camera Bag: Help him keep his camera gear organized and safe with a durable and stylish camera bag. Look for one that offers ample space, protection, and easy access to his equipment. Bonus points if you can find a bag with customizable compartments and a weatherproof design.

5. Photo Editing Software: If he enjoys post-processing his photographs, consider gifting him a subscription to a professional photo editing software like Adobe Lightroom or Capture One. These programs offer a wide array of editing tools, presets, and techniques that can take his photos to the next level.

6. Photography Exhibition Tickets: Check if there are any photography exhibitions or galleries in your area and gift him tickets to attend. This will not only expose him to different styles of photography but also provide inspiration and a chance to see the work of renowned photographers up close.

7. Travel Photography Experience: Plan a trip to a picturesque location that will allow him to capture stunning landscape or street photographs. Choose a destination known for its natural beauty or vibrant street life, depending on his preferences. This gift will not only provide him with new photographic opportunities but also create unforgettable memories.

8. Subscription to Photography Magazines: Sign him up for a subscription to a reputable photography magazine that aligns with his interests. These magazines often offer tips, tutorials, gear reviews, and interviews with photographers that can keep him informed about the latest trends and techniques in the field of photography.

Remember, the most thoughtful and meaningful gift for a photography enthusiast is one that caters to their passion and helps them grow and explore their creativity further.

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

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
