Can't wait to watch this channel blow up! Keep up the good work man
-
This was one of the best, most thoughtful YouTube photography essays I've watched.
-
I love how you turn regular informative videos and turn them into art.
-
I'm a very beginner photographer and subconsciously I've never liked black and white. But after watching this video, I think I understand it more, and I feel like giving it a try, eventually. Thank you for explaining not only the techniques, but also the art and meaning behind photography.

"[Shooting in] black and white is not generally something that we pre plan... it is more than an editing technique; it's more than a creative filter; it's a completely different way of working - a completely different photographic language." -You subscribed!
-
I'm so glad my procrastination skills brought me to this video! I'm really excited to start shooting black and white this weekend.
-
How is he not as popular as McKinnon? His content and production are better imo
-
This has to be one of the best ever practical videos on black and white photography. I belong to the old film days when I did my own darkroom processing. This video inspires me to go back there again. Great stuff!
-
This channel is my favorite source for photography now. Jamie, your approach is really valued.
-
It's always nice to switch the brain over to B&W mode and spend the day with it, and since I got your film presets I've enjoyed it even more.
-
I also studied photography in my late teens at college. At the time it was just a case of doing a fun course at college and didn't carry on photography after the course. All my work was also black and white producing my own prints in the darkroom. Now I'm getting back into photography 20+ years later I've found myself leaning toward black and white again. Great informative video. ATB Steve.

you're actually amazing. you have taught me way more about photography then studying as an A LEVEL. well done you deserve so much more appreciation
-
Finally a video that doesn't treat me as an idiot or brand new to photography - a heart felt thank you. Like you, I learned B&W on an old fully manual camera - 20 years later I'm picking up the same camera and shooting film again - it feels good and videos like yours really help inspire me to do it again
-
Oh my goodness, Jamie! This video has so many amazing elements! Humor, art, brilliant writing, concise information, and every single shot is captivating. This is seriously a perfect format, and your style just makes it that much more incredible. I've been a watcher for some time, and I have finally subscribed because of this video. Thank you for putting your time and passion into creating content like this!
-
Thank you! I'm so glad that there are more of us that love B&W.
-
My new favourite presenter. Love his style and method or presenting really sound ideas. He not only knows his stuff, he feels it as well.
-
Just discovered your channel; I've been devouring all your content. I love that you treat the audience with intelligence. Your photos at the end are incredible. Thank you so much!

Walking around Chinatown in Bangkok yesterday I couldn't take a decent photo. On a whim I switched to Acros film simulation on my Fuji Xt2 and the world transformed. I took a dozen shots that I loved. Watching your video today has been incredibly helpful; entertaining and informative as usual. I'm keen to go out and do it better now. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
-
This video is gold, I find myself back on this video from time to time.

You’ve made this a favorite YouTube site for me! Your discussions with us on the many aspects of photography - imparting thought, perspective and a bit of history - hits the bullseye! All to often photography Youtubers talk about form but offer little substance, fact but no idea! You’ve given me a lot to consider in many videos and I’ll endeavor to incorporate some of what I’ve learned into my photography, so that it conveys my truth through the lens. Thanks, and keep up the great work!
