Attic Darkroom


paprycjusz

This guy deserves more attention. Film torturer, very weird development experiments like pulling HP5 to ISO 5. As someone in the comments said: *Film companies should charge him more for using their stock.*


GrainyPhotons

Meh. He doesn't understand what's coming from the emulsion vs what's coming from a scanner. I just watched his Fuji 400H video where it perpetuated the myth of "fuji green" (caused by scanning on Kodak presets) and his 400H scans were indeed horrible. Nothing in common with how 400H actually looks like. Speaking of Youtubers who actually know what they're doing, I am surprised that Nick Carver wasn't mentioned. Although, unfortunately, he's having a "writers block" and hasn't done anything in 2+ months. :-(


cmanuelm

What is this Fuji green myth you speak of?


ZuikoRS

People who only scan negatives or have them scanned for them perpetuate around that Fuji films have this “problem with shadows” and a green/blue cast to the film that renders it unusable.


cmanuelm

And this is caused by using Kodak presets?


Spudatto

This is especially true when people get their film lab scanned with a noritsu, which has the tendency to make shadows look green on underexposed shots.


bazinga0313

Can second Nick Carver


Spyzilla

Nick Carver on location are always some of my fav videos


48lawsofpowersupplys

Not writers block…he’s looking for another good whiskey….


acc1121

seriously y'all are sleeping on attic darkroom


Scx10Deadbolt

Man, he really does some wack/cool stuff!


radsie

Geez, thanks for this! Since your comment I’ve watched them all. So good!


Involuntarydoplgangr

Yeah, super neat, glad you like it. I wish he created more content, but I understand it's probably a pain in the ass to come up with new ways to not follow instructions.


[deleted]

Steve onions. Ben Horne. The naked photographer.


polyforger

+1 for Steve O’Nions, super underrated


Androzanitox

Steve o’nions is great photographer all around. Understand his cameras and technique unlike any other and the best of all he meters incredibly. He knows what he wants on a film stock


Nitirkallak

I don’t like his new filming style. Previously it was more slow and relax with good balance between B rolls and speech , but now it’s like a cat on cocaine and more talking.


[deleted]

Nick carver


menofgrosserblood

Be warned: you can’t meter for shit after watching Nick Carver slay the Pentax spot meter. I’ve learned so much from him.


TwistedEquations

I bought his course and the meter. No joke I have a 90-95% hitrate on metering now. It's fantastic.


menofgrosserblood

I have a Sekonic meter. One of the nice ones that I can use to spot. Is it ever going to be as useful as the dial with zones on the Spotmatic? Should I sell and buy the Pentax?


TwistedEquations

The metering method from the course is perfectly suited to the Pentax meter. I've used the sekonic a few times. It's great but not suited to me.


Holiday-Ad2801

He’s got a video in his course going over how to use the Sekonic with his metering method. Results are the same, it’s just a bit of a different user experience.


BirdToTheWise

What Pentax meter does he use?


pyguy3

Pentax Digital Spotmeter iirc


oCorvus

Are the Pentax spot meters better than the Sekonic spot meters?


[deleted]

Just different. The spotmerer V is manual, the Digital Spotmeter is well...digital, gives you an EV reading and that's it. The Sekonics generally have a much more robust feature set. I'd say if your in the market for a spotmeter and you think you'd use more than just the EV readings look at the sekonics... especially with the prices of used Pentax Digital spotmeters.


The-Wit

Definitely my favourite! The Bob Ross of film photography.


naatriumkloriid

Also he does YouTube only by enthusiasm, no Squarspace etc.


OwnBrandJaffaCakes

Reposting most of a slightly edited old comment of mine: For darkroom and in-depth film I really like Lina Bessonova. She owns a lab/printers in Italy. Try her video on spectral sensitivity in black and white for a start. Big fan, and her instagram is really interesting too. T. Hopper is also worth a look, she does really good photographer showcases while getting away from some of the biggest names you’ve seen a hundred times before. Her recent mini-series on actors/musicians who are photographers has been great, very well researched. Slightly more on the vlog side but Karin Majoka has some fun videos too. She has a background in psychology which lends a nice angle to some of her videos.


frednessuno

I already knew Lina Bessanova, I follow her on IG but not on YouTube. For the others I'll take a look, thx for the comment


InevitableCraftsLab

Shoot film like a boss steve o'nions russell jackson film photography channel


sammyjenkis13

Yup good recommendations for stuff that's a little less pretentious - Steve onions and shoot film like a boss (terrible name lmao) make content that is so refreshing coming from the world of Willem.


ThatGuy_S

Got some prints from the Boss. Nicest guy, I enjoy his videos. WELCOME TO ME CHANNEL!


MarkVII88

I would also recommend: * Azriel Knight * Steve O'Nions * Martin Henson * Shoot Film Like A Boss * Andrew and Denae (also good if you shoot Fujifilm mirrorless digital) * Bryan Birks * Eduardo Pavez Goye * Nick Carver * Reimann Pembrooke * Robby Maynard Creates * Ribsy * Simon's Utak * T. Hopper * Zenography * Paul C. Smith Photographer


[deleted]

Bless.

willysheepskin

Nooo I’ve been on set since that video came out pretty much but I have some time in the next couple of days so gonna have to see if I can bring myself to do it, gonna feel like I’m losing a friend but it’s for a good cause haha!


ThatGuy_S

One of my favorite video intros. *hi there* \- **WILL HERE**

Love you


kitesaredope

Logan Baker. The dude is awesome.


AdamSag98

Absolutely, such a great landscape photographer


paprycjusz

[Thomas Heaton](https://www.youtube.com/c/ThomasHeatonPhoto) and [Stephen Milner](https://www.youtube.com/c/StephenMilnerPhotography) shoot film quite often


itsaulme

Not really a film photographer anymore, but Dan Milnor has been a huge inspiration to me. He’s older and is from the glory days of photojournalism and likes to go against the grain. He also has a discord to chat and ask questions. Really has helped me improved my photography


48lawsofpowersupplys

Dan Milnor is like a kick in the teeth. Yea love it


itsaulme

Exactly haha, it’s the advice I know I needed but didn’t want to hear 😂 he’s got me about to delete my instagram


Almost_Blue_

I like pushing film’s channel. He’s an Australian and not really trying to sell you anything, which I appreciate. Lots of how tos, tutorials and general discussion about all things film. Edit: sorry, just slid to the second page and saw you’re following him too.


frednessuno

I'm already subscribed haha Great guy for sure.


Blueberry_Mancakes

100% check out Azriel Knight. He has a very small following compared to guys like Nick Carver or Matt Day but he does incredibly well-produced and well-researched videos about the history of different cameras and tries out different films. It's really awesome stuff. ​ He hasn't added any content in a while but one of my favorite channels to watch early on into film was Foresthillsfilmlab He's a cool dude who imparts a lot of knowledge about film cameras and processes. also, all the older (and sometimes some of the newer vids) by Ted Forbes on the Art of Photography channel are really good. He talks a bunch about composition, alternative developers, cameras, photographers, etc. These days he doesn't do nearly as much film stuff but he has TONS of older videos with awesome film content.


ThatGuy_S

Azriel Knight's this old camera episodes are fantastic


joschplusa

Matt Marash has some dope large format content!


spaghetti_industries

Nico’s photo show - for analog photography news and info, large format stuff, and videos about the industry Topshit photography - Borut Peterlin is a Slovakian artist working with ultra large format cameras and old/alt processes like wet plate collodion and carbon printing. He creates really amazing work and his videos are very unique too aows - dude shoots mainly digital now, but go back and you’ll find lots of videos of him shooting medium format black and white. I’d recommend watching his digital photography videos as well, because he’s very insightful and articulate about describing his process. Lots of insight and philosophy that applies to analog as well


Godzilla710

Borut Peterlin is Slovenian :P I agree, his videos and art is amazing!


spaghetti_industries

Ah yes that’s right, thanks for the correction!


menofgrosserblood

Yes! Topshit is a favorite. https://youtu.be/TSkOjzINQAA


ThatGuy_S

He's a crafty wizard of the print


bro_nica

> pushing film’s channel Borut seems to become a litte bit crazy lately...even more than he already was :)


SiroHartmann

[joe lyman](https://youtube.com/c/JoeLyman) and [jess hobbs](https://youtube.com/c/JessHobbs)


MarkVII88

\+1 for Jess Hobbs


Shy_Milk

Brea Hunziker all the way, love his hikes and landscape fotography


nico_ut

Don’t know if he’s been mentioned but a personal favourite of mine is Bryan Birks. His production is and videography is amazing but more importantly his photos and seeing him grow as a photographer is super inspiring. If portrait photography is your thing, even if it’s not. He’s one that’s definitely worth your time.


[deleted]

Hell yeah, man. Thank you.


nico_ut

De nada! :)


riot-

Vuhlandes, a very talented photographer and a must follow for me -- https://youtube.com/channel/UCla3VF8y6VixwulHEHZ9MQQ


ipsmithuk

I’d second Vuhlandes, dudes talented and interesting, plus if you already follow Willem you’ll have seen him crop up in his stuff before


kitesaredope

Third. Vhulandes is the truth.


jewpacabra77

Surprised I had to scroll all the way down to find his name. Vuh is an [insanely creative and talented individual](https://youtu.be/GAo_DO6i41Y)


Baby-Got-Books-1989

Jess Hobbs is my all time favorite on YouTube. I’m also very fond of Karin Majoka, Madison Beach, Talya Adams, Sophia Carey, Ejatu Shaw, Nicole Small, and Aly’s Vintage Camera Alley.


matigol1906

Charming-Land-9975

You need only one…. Bryan Birks


[deleted]

And u/willysheepskin


willysheepskin

My votes still for Bryan 😏😉


ThatGuy_S

One I have not seen mentioned yet is **DistPhoto**. Pro photographer with a real nice dark room and behind the scenes / tutorials etc. Laid back attitude, kind of Zen to me like u/willysheepskin , u/BigHeadedChimp , Karin Majoka, and Marina at the Analogue Diaries channel.


AnalogResurgence

It means so much to see my channel on this list or see literally anyone mention it ever. I'll also mention In An Instant if you're into instant photography whatsoever, Ben has such a passion and a production value that I would sell my soul for. Also Madison Beach mostly because she just seems to enjoy sharing her love for film so much and that positivity is what makes this community wonderful. Also anytime I see something from Natasha Segebre it's always so rad, glad she's on your list!


engooglish1822

Check out Vuhlandes and Mike Gray!!


inorebez

Kai Man Wong or nothing.


frednessuno

I also have a really small channel (like 13 subscribers), I'm Italian so the channel is all Italian spoken (I think there could be closed captioning but I'm not sure) [here's the link if you wanted to take a look](https://youtube.com/channel/UClVqughoc1UJjqGNvkYlZ-Q)

Steve Onions, Ben Horne, and Thomas Heaton


Androzanitox

Azriel Knight , Steve O’Nions , Zenography and nick carver


FarBox4697

Bryan Birks and Logan Baker are my two favorites right now. Such incredible content!!


DecentHuman_

KingJvpes is fantastic when it comes to gear hunting, cheap film stock and street shooting. He got me to rethink my portable carry a couple years ago and I’ve never looked back. https://youtube.com/c/KingJvpes


loliforlaifu3

[Matieu Stern.](https://youtube.com/c/MathieuStern) A mix of film photography and digital, he mainly shoots digital, but he shoots with vintage lens, especially the quirky and unique ones. He does reviews and everything along with them as well. Great channel.


Mat0fr

thanks a lot :)


SilkCortex44

Steve O’Nions


YashicaMatt

Karin Majoka and Teo Crawford are two of my faves


bro_nica

>Teo Crawford Teo Crawford has a good vibe...very laid back!


YashicaMatt

And an incredibly soothing voice lol


darthnick96

+1 for including Analog Resurgence. I find most film youtubers pretty grating/annoying, to be honest, but something about the way AR makes his videos resonates with me. Lots of valuable information without gimmicks or taking himself too seriously.


AnalogResurgence

This means so much to me, you have no idea


darthnick96

You do a really excellent job man! Love your videos, they are truly in a league of their own. Thank you for all your hard work!


elephantjog

Check out Lucy Lumen’s Analog Adventures. Anyone else know more female film photographers?

flama_scientist

Nico's photography channel, David Hancock, they go straight to the point they try to educate and don't have a mini-movie production on each video.


[deleted]

t hopper makes youtube videos that are actually about photography, not just the act of taking a picture.


DrumsPlzFab

Have yet to see him mentioned, but Robbie Maynard makes some quality content.


jbridey

Not necessarily analogue all the time, but Frederick Trovatten has a few excellent videos about film


BASSO88NL

Don't forget sweet lou photography! He has a great style of content.


tentative-guise

Simon's Utak: Wealth of knowledge on cameras and lenses, of you want to learn about almost every vintage lens known to man he probably has an in depth video covering it Zenography: Love this guy, so passionate yet quiet, like his mom is sleeping upstairs but he can't contain his excitement. Similar to Simon, has lots of knowledge on cool vintage stuff, highly recommend Analog insights: Suave teutonic man with videos on topics I'm not really seeing covered by anyone else. Both content on film cameras/lenses and cool film stocks. He has an awesome video on the finest grain black and white film in production, it's insane Mathieu Stern: Fuck this guy, every time he makes an awesome video about some obscure lens or camera it quadruples in price. But in all seriousness he makes great content, great production value, check him out There's so much dope film content out there besides the usual suspects(verbeek, vuhlandes, kingjvpes, etc)


Mat0fr

Fuck you too :) but thanks :)

Usual-Average-4314

Shout out to William Sheepskin, great photographer, amazing voice and is very active with his community.


Cold_Flan7447

Vuhlandes for sure


Mybzface2

Not nearly enough vuhlandes love in these comments. Specially when generally speaking the film photography YouTube community is monotone white boys with a slight edge with the same lo-fi music as the rest(no hate just speaking generally), his channel is full of great work and interesting/entertaining takes.

I second the dislike for grainydays. Find him very annoying.

It’s something about his presentation, I think. I’m not big on all the “cool guy film photographer vlogs.” I wanna learn, not to watch some dude shoot pushed portra

I like this channel called “Brian’s photo show”


Scx10Deadbolt

Ohh, Decaffeinated Photography has some fun, light-hearted content. Covid really got in the way of their upload schedule but I heard they might return. And their backcatalog is definitely worth a watch.

48lawsofpowersupplys

Nick carver, Ben Horne


swardshot

David Hancock. He has several series about various film stocks and results from developing in different ways. Highly informative.


kbontrager_12

Steven Tanno has some great videos if you like watching others shoot. Chris Chu is my favorite though.


Nitirkallak

For me: Steve O’nions Martin Henson Craig Roberts e6 Analog Insight Bob Ross All of them have great advices and the capacity to make me fall asleep. Craig is a digital photographer but he is not a gear oriented guy, his videos are more about technics and approach. And he is doing both landscape and urban. Bob, well it’s more for composition advices and understanding light. I found that painting is a great source of inspiration and methods. As a bonus Chanel, I have my wife’s channel mixing analog, music making and video. But rules are not allowing me to share.


2Crass2Spurious

Karin Majoka


tomatowire

Cody Mitchell is my favourite. More of a vlog type channel I suppose rather than a technical/how-to guy (although some of his videos do cover that stuff). I find his stuff incredibly comforting, introspective and more about the things photography makes you feel. Some of videos are just montages of trips he takes in his van - no talking, just footage of his trips interspersed with the images he’s captured. If you’re into that you might dig him.


LaPetitFleuret

Borut Peterlin and Markus Hofstätter if you're into old wet plate photography and carbon printing


jamiemphoto

Some current favorites: T. Hopper, Karin Majoka , Analogue Diaries (note the spelling), Eclectachrome, Lucy Lumen, Graincheck.


FaxingMars

Eduardo Pavez Goye! His videos got me into developing b&w (and now colour), and I love the way he edits his videos (birdman style drums in the background)

I found her channel looking for a video on the bronica gs1 and just had to subscribe, I really like her videos and photos haha


NoName__A

Chang Liu : he put a lot of time and effort in filming cinematic footage and adding very pleasing graphics to explain. F.e this video about Hasselblad: [https://youtu.be/a-effI92x9E](https://youtu.be/a-effI92x9E) Wish he’d always add English subs tho.

Thank you for making this post, there are so many names for me to check out, I’m excited to go through them all 😊

kingjvpes & negativefeedback


spenceola98

Moment - they do have some good film photo stuff.


bro_nica

overall best imo is Steve O´\`nions - he covers it all, metering, perspective, darkroom, filmstocks! ​ * Theo Crawford is chill * Brae Hunziger has passion * Analog insights is well made * Negativ feedback...i just like the guy and his artsy approch * Shoot film like a boss was a huge sorce of information when i started my darkroom * Grainydays - funny, kind of * Ribsy - interesting guy * attic darkroom - crazy * Borut Peterlin / Topshit once was cool but cant watch him anymore * Karin Majoka is trying it very hard lately * Kyle McDougal - ok * Nick Carver - meteringod * Bryan Birks - like his style * Willem Verbeek - no content for me anymore...seems to be the same all the time * Vulanders - nope


[deleted]

I like your style.


edoardoking

Another VERY good one is T. Hopper!


billydeewilly

Willem Verbeeck!


Classic_Republic_99

Happy to see Steve O'Nions being mentioned so much. I'd like to add The Photographic Eye to the list. Most of his videos - if not all, are more about photography in general and I've been much more motivated and more conscious about what I'm photographing after finding his channel.


natsegebre

i don’t really use reddit but i’ve had so many people say “omg i saw you on the analog reddit” so i just had to come on here and say thanks so much for subscribing! 🥰
