I'd say you can start one anytime and doing it for the right reasons is what to do it for. For me its helped massively with self-confidence (even if it doesn't sound like it 😂)
Gavin takes being unique to a whole different level and manages to get Adam to help him. Where as Adam's channel is very artful. His drone intros are magic. Can't wait to find out what they're up to, should be epic. Rock on!
I think the idea of a total newbie starting a Photo channel with the intention of following their journey and watching their photography develop is a great one.
Definitely space for more female landscape photographers channels as I can only think of Kim Grant, wish I had the confidence and time as I would love to encourage other women to get into landscape photography!
Kim Grant is the only one that I can think of being very regular with landscape photography. Rachel Lerch does some , but hers is not as focused as Jim's is.
"not do it for the money"... I think this is very true. If you have fun making videos and sharing your knowledge than it's the right thing to do and it doesn't matter which year it is or who watches your channel at all.
Definitely the most encouraging video for photographers looking to get on TH-cam. I recently started a channel and 9 videos and i'm like...Is this worth it. Only my homies are following me hahah But this has been a nice boost to stay real and honest with yourself as you create content for others. Many Thanks!
I've started my own channel surrounded by the idea of cinematography. I've created MANY different channels on this platform, and this was the first time I've ever been excited about starting a channel!
Interesting points of view. Just subscribed to your channel. My Photography channel is about 8 months old so it's always fun to see small creators growing! Thanks for sharing!
I jumped straight in at the deep end with TH-cam and vlogging. Photography is the easy part compared to Vlogging, video editing and filming yourself on location. Being yourself and learning to relax is key.
Great video as always Greg, i started my channel just over a year ago at age 55 after much deliberation, i wish i just went for it when i first thought about starting a channel, don't procrastinate. My advice would be "Just Do It" don't wait another day. Hey Gavin, my channel is based here in New Zealand like you mentioned, I've yet to find my rhythm but i'm working on it, trying to develop my own style. Cheers.
Greg, sorry about the weather out here lately, but it is the the wet coast. But, hey, I know you’ll be having fun with the f.4 boys! Looking forward to ALL of the videos from you guys. You know, if you hang out with them long enough, the group will have to be renamed f5.6...
Such good timing to hear that encouragement! I just started my photography channel (nature, bird and wildlife) last week and already am feeling the benefits creatively. Plus I am learning video basics on a fast track, which I don't think I would have prioritized without starting TH-cam. Thanks for making this video with some of my favorite YT folks!!
Well they had all better say yes because I just started end of last year😳 I blame you Greg specifically. It was your channel that got me off the sofa. I'm just happy if someone calls my channel shit I can say Gavin told me it was ok to start there.🐼😁🥂
NIce video. I started a channel last year and it's been a fun experience to push myself to learn new skills and put myself "out there" BUT man it can be frustrating spending so much time on the videos just to get 30 views... It's interesting to hear the opinion of people that I think are successful on TH-cam - gives me some inspiration that someday I'll get there with my own channel. Thanks for making this!
It’s not about getting a slice of the pie, it’s about making your own pie. That’s a weird analogy, but I just mean there’s plenty of room for cool ideas.
Thanks for the video Greg, some wise words for all of us beginners starting out on TH-cam. The other thing that comes across is the relationships you form with other creators, you all seem to have formed some pretty special friendships which is great to see.
First I'll avoid buying a printer. Too much maintenance, so I'll outsource from a print shop. Starting up a channel, is in the cards, just gotta find the means, and the wherewithal to get some impetus going. Meanwhile, I'll keep working on my craft, and keep watching you guys and the others in my subscription list. 🤠📷🦅👍
Some people are naturals in front of a camera, most photographers probably don't fit into that category, I'm a good example of someone who could never go down this path, but absolutely there is room for more new blood in the You Tube vlogs. I follow all of those in this video, Thomas being the one I have followed the longest, all offer something different. I know at some point I will grow tired of all of you, but then I will have moved onto other vloggers. It isn't anything personal, but we all change what we want to get from who we follow. I have just checked, and I am subscribed to 176 channels, all of them were interesting to me, otherwise I would never have followed them, some are no longer putting out new content, some I have already seen all they have to offer, and some are fresh. Keeping fresh is the key. I have to say, everyone in this video are still exciting my interests, and that is the key. People like Fro Knows photo will not change, but he aims at new photographers, so as the old ones go, new followers arrive. Horses for courses I guess. I'm not a landscape photographer, I just love watching others enjoying their chosen genre
Really good to hear from the people who inspired me to start creating youtube videos. I've found with myself, that its pushed me to get out and take photos. Also having to explain to the camera my competition etc has helped me see things i might have missed if i wasn't saying it out loud.
Not what I expected to hear. I actually Loved everyone’s comments it was very encouraging and I feel like you were all talking directly to me. Why? Because, I am new, I am crap (I expect I will improve), I am a woman, I do landscape, I do things my own way. Also, I am a little chubby. Should be a shoe in.
I’ve battle with the idea for years now and each of my TH-cam favs just summed up why I should be doing it in different aspects, now the hard part quit video games and do it. See you soon with my own channel
Great to hear, that the "big guys" think it's worth. I started 2 or 3 months ago with my landscape photography vlog and it makes so much more fun than I ever expected. And I think this point alone is already worth starting. It was definitely not a fail for me, not at least because of your help, Greg. Thank you again for your great advices in border of your online course. Absolutely recommendable by the way!
This is such a great video! I totally agree with everyone on the subject. I feel that it is never too late to start a TH-cam channel whether it is a photography channel or a travel vlog. It is a great way to express one's creativity and personality. One bit of advice I would give to someone whom would ask me the same question is to have fun! It will always make a video more enjoyable and the viewers will be able to tell. I am looking forward to finding out about the assignment when you are able to reveal more!
A lot of really good insights in this video. It's all about being genuine, passionate, and experimental. In order to be true to who you are, I think you have to think about what kinds of videos would you keep making if no one was watching your content? I think the great thing about TH-cam is that no one knows who you are, so you're free to make mistakes and figure out your style.
Having seen some lesser known vlogs that show zero originality, I think the advice about having something different to offer is really important. The learn along with me kind of thing is OK but has a limited audience, some of whom are watching in the hope that you crash and burn. Education, inspiration and entertainment would be my three watch words and, in different ways, you and your f4 co-conspirators do just that, which is you and they are popular.
I like to watch honest people and i do view all of these guys, you learn something different from all of them. Hardcastle is my fave, he is a natural joker but he has special skills...he is the glue that connects the human, fun element that photography can bring to us all.
I think each one has given good advices, I think being authentic to ourselves (ando so to the others) is the key of a good channel. First, do the things you like to do, the content you like to do and the youtube community will notice that.
Great inspiration for starting creative endeavors in this video. I had the good fortune to be able to interview some TH-cam creators including Gavin and Adam last year about this topic! I think my experiences writing that article and what I saw in this video have finally convinced me that I should put some serious work into my own channel for my own creative satisfaction!
I feel like I've watched too many photography youtube channels to start one and truely be myself in it. Can't really explain it but I feel like my mind is too saturated with other peoples ideas on the subject. This is still a motivating video though, I think I'll just enjoy using my video/photo skills to make a channel about one of my other interests in life.
Like the ideas and reasons... only thing missed is Time! Dedicating time to actually do it and edit it. Tell Adam his book is epic by the way.... great shots and insights! Cheers Jase 🍻
I was really happy to hear all of them say that starting a channel was worth it in 2020. I started my channel last year, then let it sit idle for a few months, and restarted posting at the start of the year. Hopefully I can keep it going all year long and see some growth before the year is through. Also, I'm really looking forward to meeting up with the F4 crew in Vegas on the 27th!
I procrastinated on starting a youtube channel, i kept thinking “why?, who would be interested in what you have to offer?” But i just went ahead and did it, and im an absolute beginner in photography and i felt there wasn’t a lot of channels out there that did that type of content.... hopefully it’ll be beneficial to others as i go through my journey into the craft.
Some good thoughts here Greg. I agree as well it’s worth it. TH-cam is one of the few incredibly interactive platforms out there, and if you’re a photographer you can really story tell on TH-cam versus something like Instagram. Where someone will look at your photo for 3 seconds double tap and move on. Here you get a chance to tell the story of how it was made. Honestly even if you’re a terrible photographer you still have a good shot at gaining a following if you’re personable and charismatic etc. TH-cam is the place where great works is rewarded as equally as entertaining personalities with alright work. 🤷♂️ I think it’s great! Ha, I somehow manage to get views despite my terrible personality and crappy photos!
Great video loved it thanks for the optimism I have been posting hiking and photo video since March of last year I love Photography Hiking the internet and my computer. This is what I want to do. Greg how did you manage to hook up with those 4 guys they are my mentors and I just found you. Good job!!
Some pretty good reasons to keep my channel going as well. Now.... to line up my next trip! (another great video BTW Greg!) .... Made it up there to Olympic once but was in a rush to get to a gig in Vancouver and didn't spend NEAR enough time. Gotta make it back there :)
It's always going to feel like you're late to the game, if you see even one or two other people already succeeding. But, take it from someone who has been doing this (and mostly observing from the sidelines) for 15+ years: you never know how much bigger something might get. You never know how perfectly suited your own personality and style might be for a large audience that loves to follow your adventures and support you. So, don't be like me and sit here thinking, "oh, it didn't even count as 'saturated' 4 years ago? I almost started a channel 10 years ago!" GO FOR IT!!!
Getting started is the hardest part for me. I would also say it is good to have a basic outline of what each video is going to be about. I've tried making videos by just going out and shooting whatever it is I'm doing. When I get back I have a bunch of footage with no real direction. I'm sure others can make that work but I've learned the hard way it doesn't work for me.
Enjoyed the video and subscribed Greg, I just started my Channel last year, it is very intimidating but I am determined to stick with it. My vlogging does require a bit of work.
I started my photography channel a few months ago, I talk about getting started in book cover photography and self portraits. I want to help the average person hack photography at home, even possibly make a couple bucks doing it
I think alot of folks think Peter McKinnon sold out, but I think he holds alot of knowledge.....I just see alot of folks try to be like him i instead of being original also. Be yourself and the right people will follow. Draw inspiration from others but be unique.
If you're have a genuine passion for the subject matter... Then go for it. The rest.... Subscribers, views, and ££ is just a lovely bonus. But for me anyway it has to be something, You genuinely have a real interest in, and want to share with others.
While my channel technically started a few years back, I’m pivoting my approach and basically restarting it in 2020. Anyway, just found your channel on my feed and subbed!
Extremely encouraging! Thank you. I’ve been thinking about it - not for money, but just to share my technique and journey as a photography hobbyist. Cheers!
Very good advice! Yup I'm a keep supporter of the "be you" aspect to it. Gavin seemed boring in your video, I expected more humour from his part!! I like Nick's style of hiking! P. S If your starting TH-cam, go sign up to Greg's course!! Very useful advice.
You guys are in my backyard! Wished it was possible to hang out with any of you. Individual or group, you are enjoyable and informative. Please keep it up.
What a great crew! That would be an amazing opportunity to do a workshop with that bunch! Great video Greg, maybe 2020 will be my yr to make a TH-cam video....
I'm with Heaton, I'm doing it to force myself to get out and enjoy the art (I hate my job!). I'm going to have a special section where I wear my Uncle Grumpy T-shirt, and ask myself, what would Uncle Grumpy shoot :)
Really cool video, very interesting perspective. I've thought about starting a channel, but I think those guys reinforced what I believed: I've got nothing to offer and tons of people do it well already! Better to remain in the audience.
The video background has such a Vancouver Island "Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park" look to it. ....But Thomas' interview background suggests Oregon, so I guess that Oregon's rainforest is similar in look to that of Vancouver Island.
So here is my channel idea: how about someone goes around taking photo workshops and shows us the differences between places, leaders, costs, etc. It would be of interest to the viewers and a platform to promote the workshops
My question is if I wanna start a youtube photography channel do I have to grow a beard like Nick Page, wear sandles like Gavin Hardcastle, to be grumpy like Adam Gibbs and chasing trees like Thomas Heaton? BTW Greg... I so jealous of you B-rolling the F(antastic)4. Obrigado
Nick Page is my favourite...
Yeah you gave good input on the youtuber thing
Nick Page it’s the beard, isn’t it?
Nick page is the only reasons i watch this videos...
Is he the chubby one, or is that Gavin?
Nick Page I like him because I'm a large mammal as well so I identify. 😁
Thomas Heaton: "2020 is going to be a big year." Yes Tom, yes it was. May all of us have a good 2021
I'd say you can start one anytime and doing it for the right reasons is what to do it for. For me its helped massively with self-confidence (even if it doesn't sound like it 😂)
Gavin takes being unique to a whole different level and manages to get Adam to help him. Where as Adam's channel is very artful. His drone intros are magic. Can't wait to find out what they're up to, should be epic. Rock on!

same here! :)
Totally agree

"not do it for the money"... I think this is very true. If you have fun making videos and sharing your knowledge than it's the right thing to do and it doesn't matter which year it is or who watches your channel at all.
Nick Page is absolutely correct: it's all about authenticity.
He's a man of many solid insights and opinions.
Definitely the most encouraging video for photographers looking to get on TH-cam. I recently started a channel and 9 videos and i'm like...Is this worth it. Only my homies are following me hahah But this has been a nice boost to stay real and honest with yourself as you create content for others. Many Thanks!
As an older guy thinking of starting a photo channel, this is very encouraging. Thanks!
John Drummond Im 57 and started last year. Still trying to find my voice. Best wishes on starting a channel. 🥂
Awesome. Hell yeah John.
I've started my own channel surrounded by the idea of cinematography. I've created MANY different channels on this platform, and this was the first time I've ever been excited about starting a channel!

Each one of these Photographers brings something different to TH-cam, as you do. I watch them all and enjoy learning & growing along with them.
🤙

5 of my 6 favorite TH-cam personalities!!!
Can't wait to see more.
That's why I follow these guys cause they are real and I love all their work. Great interview of my favorite guys!!
Thanks for the video Greg, some wise words for all of us beginners starting out on TH-cam. The other thing that comes across is the relationships you form with other creators, you all seem to have formed some pretty special friendships which is great to see.
Great advice that confirms my reasons for starting a TH-cam channel in 2020. Thank you to all the great photographers who contributed their thoughts.
So glad they got you to chronicle this secret mission! Always admire your work man!
Frank!! Cheers dude. It's been a blast so far. Lot's of incredible content. The project is going to be fire.
Dang, all 4 of them had really good points and advice. Well spoken.
First I'll avoid buying a printer. Too much maintenance, so I'll outsource from a print shop.
Starting up a channel, is in the cards, just gotta find the means, and the wherewithal to get some impetus going.
Meanwhile, I'll keep working on my craft, and keep watching you guys and the others in my subscription list. 🤠📷🦅👍
Glad to see that all think it's still worth doing. Gives me hope with my little channel. Thanks.
Hell Yeah. No hope needed dude, just do your thing and stay creative.

I like seeing that positive outlook. Great work guys. (oh, and photography itself can definitely use more visibility and promotion these days...)
I’m literally just starting out, September 2020 👍
A lot of really good insights in this video. It's all about being genuine, passionate, and experimental.

Fantastic content as always Greg. I particularly appreciate your work ethic. All the best mate. Richard
Very different content here. Fabulous inputs from the awesome 4. Being "normal" is the best advice because it is a big challenge.
Just started mine in 2020! Focusing on my state of Florida and learning. It's been fun creating videos. This was a great video, thanks Greg!
Paul!! Good on ya man. Cheers and enjoy exploring more of Florida.
Like the ideas and reasons... only thing missed is Time! Dedicating time to actually do it and edit it. Tell Adam his book is epic by the way.... great shots and insights! Cheers Jase 🍻
Good shout. Time is our most valuable resource. Adam says thanks. 🤙
Well done Greg! It is always good to hear different takes on the same subjects. Different perspectives reach different people.
I was really happy to hear all of them say that starting a channel was worth it in 2020. I started my channel last year, then let it sit idle for a few months, and restarted posting at the start of the year. Hopefully I can keep it going all year long and see some growth before the year is through.
Also, I'm really looking forward to meeting up with the F4 crew in Vegas on the 27th!
Top team on a secret mission.......the suspension builds. Encouraging words from you all which was good to hear
Gavin trying to keep it serious
I procrastinated on starting a youtube channel, i kept thinking “why?, who would be interested in what you have to offer?”
But i just went ahead and did it, and im an absolute beginner in photography and i felt there wasn’t a lot of channels out there that did that type of content.... hopefully it’ll be beneficial to others as i go through my journey into the craft.
Some good thoughts here Greg. I agree as well it’s worth it. TH-cam is one of the few incredibly interactive platforms out there, and if you’re a photographer you can really story tell on TH-cam versus something like Instagram.

Really enjoyed this man also love nicks comment

GO FOR IT!!!
Good job! Good luck to you in 2020!
I follow every guy in this video. You guys rock. And you give me the strenght to get up early enough for some landscape shooting...
Sunrise for life bro. Always the best light and most chill.
Nice video man, I started my channel in 2017 and still growing.
it takes a lot of work but its great to get my stuff out there =)
Creative outlet is the way forward. Have fun with it.
Getting started is the hardest part for me. I would also say it is good to have a basic outline of what each video is going to be about.

Look at that forest , outstanding for shootings .
If you're have a genuine passion for the subject matter... Then go for it. The rest.... Subscribers, views, and ££ is just a lovely bonus. But for me anyway it has to be something, You genuinely have a real interest in, and want to share with others.
While my channel technically started a few years back, I’m pivoting my approach and basically restarting it in 2020. Anyway, just found your channel on my feed and subbed!
Extremely encouraging! Thank you. I’ve been thinking about it - not for money, but just to share my technique and journey as a photography hobbyist. Cheers!
Lots of great advice. I love watching these 4 guys for their photo styles.
Great video Dude, it touch me a little bit, thanks for making it!!... and looking forward for this secret project!
Fantastic Four 📷
Very good advice! Yup I'm a keep supporter of the "be you" aspect to it. Gavin seemed boring in your video, I expected more humour from his part!! I like Nick's style of hiking!
P. S If your starting TH-cam, go sign up to Greg's course!! Very useful advice.
Thank u guyz, I am total new comer, just baught XT3 my first DSLR. Just learning how stuff works. This really helped me. 👍
It's because of these four guys that I started mine.
You guys are in my backyard! Wished it was possible to hang out with any of you. Individual or group, you are enjoyable and informative. Please keep it up.
Thank you for this video. Helped a lot
The theme is definitely..." be your self". Always a good thing to do in life in general. Cheers.
What a great crew! That would be an amazing opportunity to do a workshop with that bunch! Great video Greg, maybe 2020 will be my yr to make a TH-cam video....
Do it!!!
Absolutely! I'm starting in 2020 :) Reasons for doing it? Brand awareness.
Word.
I'm with Heaton, I'm doing it to force myself to get out and enjoy the art (I hate my job!). I'm going to have a special section where I wear my Uncle Grumpy T-shirt, and ask myself, what would Uncle Grumpy shoot :)
Sounds like a great plan. Have been thinking of sharing my experience of photography a bit on the channel while touring in the van.
The van touring is a great subject for videos. Could focus on people from the UK looking to do similar.
Thanks for this Greg!
4 of my favorite photographers and channels!
Thanks for making this video about this interesting topic, Greg!
No worries. Thanks for watching.
Really cool video, very interesting perspective.
I've thought about starting a channel, but I think those guys reinforced what I believed: I've got nothing to offer and tons of people do it well already! Better to remain in the audience.
The video background has such a Vancouver Island "Rathtrevor Beach Provincial Park" look to it.
....But Thomas' interview background suggests Oregon, so I guess that Oregon's rainforest is similar in look to that of Vancouver Island.
haha, I always miss the obvious.
So here is my channel idea: how about someone goes around taking photo workshops and shows us the differences between places, leaders, costs, etc. It would be of interest to the viewers and a platform to promote the workshops
Enjoy the boys shenanigans Greg hope you get some alright material out of em 😉
Awesome- just started my channel today

Good advice from all
My question is if I wanna start a youtube photography channel do I have to grow a beard like Nick Page, wear sandles like Gavin Hardcastle, to be grumpy like Adam Gibbs and chasing trees like Thomas Heaton? BTW Greg... I so jealous of you B-rolling the F(antastic)4. Obrigado
Love the F/4 Boys. Great insight.
I knew the answer would be yes :)
From Australia there is already a pretty damn good guy...
You guys are awesome
Great video Greg!
Cheers Tim.
Very interesting. Thanks Greg :)
