For Photographers: Christmas Gifts Ideas From The Shop
Christmas is around the corner and, if you’re anything like me, you’re already thinking about gifts that actually mean something.
If you want to surprise a photographer or treat yourself to something that fuels your craft, here are a few ideas from my shop on alexcoghe.com. Everything comes from my own experience on the streets, years of teaching, and a genuine love for photography.
Workshops in Mexico City
My one day and weekend workshops are the perfect gift for anyone who wants to improve their street photography with a real hands-on approach. I’ve been teaching since 2011 and these sessions are built on a method I’ve refined after years walking the barrios, mercados, and the Centro Histórico. It’s an experience that mixes technique, instinct, and a real immersion in the rhythm of the city.
Photo Expeditions
If you want something more intense and unforgettable, the Día de Muertos Expedition and the Guelaguetza Expedition are the kind of trip that stays with you for years. I guide very small groups, because I want everyone to actually live the place, not just take pictures. These are gifts for photographers who want to turn a journey into a body of work.
Masterclasses
My masterclasses are perfect for those who prefer learning at their own pace. “Shoot Like a Pro with Any Camera” and the upcoming “Moments & Meaning” dive deep into the ideas behind my way of shooting. They mix theory, practice, POV videos, and commentary. They’re the type of gift that keeps giving, because you can go back to them anytime.
Photo Books
A good photography book is always a solid gift. My upcoming color street photography monograph, with a foreword inspired by the tone of authors like Clément Chéroux, is made for collectors and anyone who wants an honest look at my work in the streets of Mexico.
Prints and Digital Products
For smaller gifts, my prints and digital guides are an easy win. They’re affordable, immediate, and still carry my vision. Some people prefer a print on the wall. Others prefer a PDF they can study on the go. You choose.
Many other products and services are available on the shop
Whether you're gifting to someone else or finally deciding to give yourself something meaningful, these options offer real value and inspiration. Photography is a long journey. Sometimes the right gift is simply something that helps you take the next step.
