I'll confess that I watch a lot of YouTube, This is even my first choice before I watch a program on what I call the "Normal Telly". I thought that I would give a big shout-out to some of the photography channels on YouTube that have inspired me to take photographs and even jump in front of the camera to create my channel.

1. e6 Vlogs

I'll start with Craig Roberts, who has a channel called e6 vlogs and is one of the most underrated Photography channels on YouTube and should have many more followers than he has. I love the eclectic mix of genres on the channel, from Urban to Landscapes, using both digital and film, all explained in an easy-to-understand way with a comedic element that isn't forced. It's well worth a watch.

2. Shoot Film Like A Boss

I have been on a recent journey of discovery in shooting film, and this channel has been invaluable to my learning. This channel is dedicated to Film Photography, a complicated genre to teach, and I have found these videos useful and have improved my film photography. I recently took the steps and bought my developing equipment, and started developing my film, and thanks to this channel, I found it easy through one of the simple-to-follow tutorials.

3. Steve O'Nions

Another shout-out to a Film Photography channel. I have always loved Steve's laid-back videos, which explore great scenery and provide some knowledgeable insights and tips into film photography. There is also great honesty in some of the videos on this channel, which shows the real side of photography.

4. DGriff Gallery

I can't create a list of YouTube channels without including David Griffiths, a Landscape Photographer based in North Wales. I have always enjoyed this channel's laid-back and easy-to-understand teaching style and his love of the North Wales area, which shines through in all the videos. I'll confess that this channel was one of the main reasons I use Olympus and Micro Four Thirds.

5. Micro Four Nerds

I discovered this channel when researching my step into the world of Micro Four Thirds and found it invaluable in getting to know my kit better. Emily makes a selection of excellent reviews of both video and photography equipment, tutorials on some of the techniques in photography, and some great behind-the-scenes videos. I'll admit that I have learnt loads about using my Olympus, and it has cost me a few quid after being tempted by some of the products that have been reviewed. It's worth a sub if you are into Micro Four Thirds.

I hope you enjoyed this rundown of some of my favourite YouTube Channels. I could have mentioned many more, but this would have been a long blog post, so I might save some for a future post.

Be sure to give the videos above and tell me your favourite photography channel in the comments below.
