Despite having claimed the channel name back in 2011, film photography expert Bellamy Hunt, better known as Japan Camera Hunter across the internet, only recently started posting videos to the Japan Camera Hunter YouTube channel. Much like the Japan Camera Hunter website, the Youtube channel is dedicated to all things film photography and in just the past two months, Hunt and his team have gotten out nine videos to help kickstart the channel.
As it stands, the channel currently consists of nine concise ‘Camera Geekery’ videos, which are quick summaries of cameras (and one lens) Hunt has sitting around his shop. The videos range from just under a minute to over three minutes and highlight unique features and historical backgrounds for each of the cameras. They’re quick to get through, but provide wonderful insight into just a few of the many cameras Hunt has on hand. Below are three more of the nine videos on the channel at this time:
Canonet QL17 GIII
Yashica Mat 124G
Plaubel Makina 670
In a blog post announcing the YouTube channel, Hunt notes the videos ‘are a work in progress,’ and goes on to say there are already ‘more cameras in the pipeline and [they are] are always open to (reasonable) suggestions.’ To view the rest of the videos and to subscribe, head on over to the Japan Camera Hunter YouTube channel.
Although Netflix uploaded the video back in April, we’ve only now discovered the Platon episode of its ‘Abstract: The Art of Design’ miniseries is now available to view for free on YouTube.
The 2017 docuseries consists of two series and features a total of 14 45-minute episodes that cover the work of some of the best artists across the globe in their respective fields, from architecture and automotive design to stage design and typography. For its ‘Photography’ episode, Netflix features Platon Antoniou, more commonly known by his mononym Platon, a renowned portrait photographer whose portfolio features some of the most prominent and powerful figures the world over.
While the other episodes require a Netflix subscription, the Platon episode is now free to view on YouTube. Throughout the 45-minute episode, we get an inside look at the man behind the camera and follow along as he captures a portrait of Colin Powell, former National Security Advisor and retired four-star general.
It’s a fantastic watch from beginning to end. If you have a Netflix subscription, we also suggest watching some of the other episodes in the series.

Since many of us are spending most of our time at home at the moment, I thought I’d share this great video from the dPS founder, Darren Rowse, on how to do live streaming and YouTube videos from your own home as a way to reach your audience and promote your photography.
He shares his complete live streaming setup, which I have listed below so that you can see if you have some of this gear already. Of course, you can replace some of this gear with the equipment you already have too. Most DSLR and mirrorless cameras do video nowadays.
The great thing about this video is that Darren shows us how this equipment all works together too, which is perfect to see what parts may or may not suit your needs.
Want to do some photography videos for youtube, or post-processing videos? This could be an ideal setup for you too.

In the event you’ve already taken advantage of all of the other free educational resources that have come to light amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, photo education website Photography Life has announced it is releasing all of its premium photography courses for free on YouTube.
Normally, each course costs $ 150, Photography Life founder Nasim Mansurov explains, he and his team wanted to give back to the community in these challenging times. In the announcement post, he writes:
‘We spent many months filming our courses both indoors and in remote locations, in order to provide the best education we can possibly deliver to our readers. With the world dealing with possibly one of the worst health and economic crises the world has ever seen, we thought it would be a good idea to give away everything we got to our community. We hope that these courses will help our readers in getting solid photography content to learn from, for many years to come.’
Currently, the first course ‘Level 1: Photography Basics Course’ is available on YouTube, with each chapter broken into a separate video. Photography Life’s two other courses ‘will be uploaded to YouTube in the next two weeks,’ according to the announcement page. Below is the introduction video for the first course:

Popular YouTube channel ‘How to Make Everything’ has published a new video showing the creation of a camera lens from scratch. The project didn’t start with pre-made components, as many DIY projects do, but rather with the purely raw materials, including sand and rocks for the eventual lens glass and copper housing.
The new project follows one involving the creation of a pinhole camera from scratch that the channel published in September 2018. This time around, the channel’s Andy George spends nearly half an hour walking viewers through the lens creation process, including many failed attempts.
Producing clear glass presented one of the project’s most time-consuming challenges, though casting the copper lens housing introduced its own difficulties. After weeks of work, however, the end result was a decently clear, though sadly ill-fated, camera lens with zoom functionality.
Cheryl Dunn’s 2013 street photography documentary Everybody Street is now available to stream on YouTube and on Amazon Prime Video. The YouTube stream is ad-supported and the Prime Video option requires an Amazon Prime subscription. Alternatively, viewers can purchase the documentary on DVD. Everybody Street was previously only available on-demand through Vimeo.
The documentary, which enjoys a healthy 7.7-star rating on IMDb, focuses on New York street photographers Bruce Davidson, Ricky Powell, Mary Ellen Mark, Elliott Erwitt, and others, covering their life and work in the city.
IMDb explains:
Shot by renowned photographer Cheryl Dunn on both black and white 16mm film and color HD, the documentary pays tribute to the spirit of street photography through a cinematic exploration of New York City, and captures the visceral rush, singular perseverance and at times immediate danger customary to these artists.
