If you shoot Fujifilm, check out Pal2Tech. It's not so much the gear reviews as the loads of info on how to set up and use your camera that are worthwhile. He does a really good job of getting into the guts of the menu options, various settings, and exactly what each feature does.

MarkusPix, Three Blind Men and an Elephant, Camera Conspiracies ( if you're into video), Peter Hurley (portraits), Matt Granger ( Nikon shooter). I hate the Northrups (Sony fanboys) and Jared Polin gets on my nerves.

NorthBorders🙌

The one who helped me the most to appreciate going out and shoot and enjoying the process is Faizal Westcott. He also matches my personality. I also love watching Mike Chudley, Pat Kay (especially for his composition videos) & KingJvpes for film photography 😌

I like James Popsys, Vuhlandes and Dylan Spitz the most. Tatiana Hopper is also great, she delves into the styles of different famous photographers, a really great resource for inspiration and technique here and there.

I prefer to do searches for my actual gear and see who's out there using it. It's a nice way to get inspired without being told that you need to buy the latest and greatest stuff.

Tatiana Hopper

The Photographic Eye

Joel Ulises

Cory Vanderploeg

Grainydays, Grain check, and Willem Verbeeck are my favorites.

I care less about gear or techniques, after college photo I didn’t want to hear any more about technique (but I love learning people’s story process), and I don’t care to stay up in gear like I used to.

North Borders (Street and Cars)

7th Era (Misc, Mood, and Analog)

Hayden Pedersen (Misc and photo challenge)

Although some of them are kinda sponsored by Sigma, these Australian dudes have a really nice way of approaching photography for young people. I used to love to watch them, since they also did many things together.

Some greatest hits, some deep cuts

Eventually I get tired of watching any of them, but I used to like DigitalRev with Kai and Lam. They were a good balance of informative and fun to watch.

For reviews I watched Chris Nicholls, Matt Granger, Steve Perry. It's hard to find a channel that isn't too 'youtuber' in style ("smash that like button and don't forget to subscribe!"), and knows what they're talking about.

Peter McKinnon. His passion for photography (and other hobbies) is infectious. I feel inspired to photograph/travel/create/do something meaningful when I watch him. Maybe other YouTube photographers are “better” at photography than him, but none are as inspiring

I'm on my first month down this rabbit hole.. Started with a lot of gear related stuff.. I got the gear now. Here are a few that are less about gear..

• Sean Tucker
• Jamie Windsor
• The Photographic Eye
• Learning a ton from B&H channel
• Omar Gonzalez (his non-gear/fuji stuff)
• Mark Denney (Landscape/bunch of quick tips)

Craig Roberts of e6 Vlogs.

less and less do I watch photography related youtubers. Nowadays when I do I usually watch analog shooters and try to copy their colors in my digital editing. To that end, I recommend Serr, Willem Verbeeck and graincheck

Some that have been mentioned already Courtney Victoria, The photographic eye aka Alex Kilbee and Nick Carver.

Some that haven't been mentioned:

Shoot Film Like a Boss, Steve O'Nions, Andrew Banner, North Light Photographic Workshops and Nico's Photography Show, Gavin Lyons

Roger Lowe aka Shoot Film Like a Boss

All except those who make really specific tutorials on advanced stuff are useless, really. Except camera conspiracies because he's naturally funny.

I like John Branch. I appreciate his willingness to lay it all out and take you with him.

A lesser-known one: Joshua Peg.

I started watching him because I've got the same camera (Canon 250d). He strikes me as an earnest amateur who's learning his ass off, and who wants to pass on some of that knowledge and encourage others.

Paulie B for street photography

Peter McKinnon

Peter McKinnon is where I started.

Ben Horne, Landscape, large format, film, slow.

Brews n' Views Relatively new "podcast". A group of photographers looking a selection of work, drinking some beer, and talking about said work. I tend to skip the intro 30 minutes of banter and go straight for the photo talking.

Courtney Victoria British landscape photographer making YT videos feels a bit overdone, but she manages a feeling of light heartedness that not many manage.

Thomas Eisel. Talks mainly about Olympus, but his channel is very informative.

Nick Page is my all time favorite and only photographer I actually regularly watch on YouTube. I’ve listens to him since his early years and have loved watching and learning from him over the years. Super amazing, talented, friendly and down to earth guy you just want to go grab a drink with.

Scott Walker doesn’t get mentioned much, this interview gives you an idea of what he’s like.

https://youtu.be/qfoz61LPnNQ?si=N9VW-wErHzmkwcZA

Less about gear, more about wildlife and landscape photography.

Fuck it I’ll start a YouTube channel

Nick Page

James Popsys. He’s not as pretentious as other YT photographers who think their photos are actually good. James is down to earth, humorous and honest. He shares his struggles and GAS on his YT channel and honestly love him for it! His photography is fantastic.

I like Roman Fox. Clean work. No bells and whistles.

If you like pointing your lens up, Nebula Photos did good content on astro/DSO/starfield photography

Lots of very predictable choices here - the usual names. I don't mind them but I've found myself watching more and more channels with small or medium subscriber bases. Something a bit more real about their content. Here's a few I've found over the last six months or so.

Kieran Hayes

Alex Kim

Harmen Hoek

William Patino

Kim Grant

Andy Hutchinson

Gary Gough

Chris Orange

Simon Booth

Tin House Studios

Mads Peter Iversen

Simon d'Entremont is by far the best teacher of photography on the web.

The Art of Photography has gotten weaker lately, but his library of past videos has excellent material.

The naked photographer.
He does fantastic darkroom instruction and explanations.

Haven’t seen Alex Armitage mentioned yet. He’s super fun to watch.

Just Grainydays

Haven't seen his name over here but found some time ago one called Paulie B, from NY, mostly street photo stuff but he does some interviews with lots of different photographers and I find it quite refreshing.

Nigel Danson has great videos on landscape photography. For general photo news, I'm a Chris and Jordan superfan (and have been watching them since the TCSTV days). I subscribe to the Northrup's channel but rarely watch it. It looks like Tony has his bokeh addiction back under control, that's a good thing!

Big fan of Jamie Windsor for technique and more about photography as an art form, then Sean Tucker for photography/philosophy
