Editing software is absolutely essential for making our photos even better. Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop are pretty much the standard nowadays and a subscription for both can be bought from Adobe for about 15 Euro per month (https://www.adobe.com). You get all the updates as soon as they are released and possibility to edit your photos on computers, tablets and smart phones. If you don’t like to pay for subscriptions, check out Luminar (https://skylum.com/luminar)

Subscription for National Geographic magazine. One of the big reasons why I became a photographer is this magazine. The best photographers in the world have worked with the magazine at some point in their careers. Although it is not strictly a photography magazine, the photos in it are always awesome!

A photography workshop is always a great idea! The “Everything you need to know” workshop is great for beginners and alike and the “Editing with Adobe Lightroom” will teach you how to make the photos you take even better (gift cards available).
