1. Youtube (technical/inspirational)
   1. Technical tutorial videos
   2. Inspirational videos
   3. Photo review videos

Street photography inspiration:

3. The Youtube channel Street Level Photography makes movies with a top selection of street photos every month. They credit the photographer, and it can help you expand your library of great photographers. These movies don’t have a voiceover to tell you about these images. Just watch and get inspired:

One of the YouTube channels I just discovered is The Candid Frame photography. The host is Ibarionex Perello and has a great voice to listen for hours to him. He has written a book “Chasing Light” to improve your photography using available light. https://www.youtube.com/user/lafotoboy

His podcast are about:

• Reviewing street photos
• Practical techniques when you are on the street to improve your photography skills. It is not about the camera at all.
• Finding inspiration
• He is showing you a lot of images.

Photography tutorials:

Besides street photography, I am interested in urban photoshoots and therefore I watch many kind of photography tutorials to understand all the aspects that comes with photography and photo editting.

Manual mode:

One of Sean Tucker’s latest videos is about how to nail exposure with manual mode on the streets.

Photoshop tutorials

I am working more and more with Photoshop, to give my photos the extra touch. I want to tease people take a closer look. This takes a lot of time learning about photoshop and what all the features can do for you.

There are a couple of YouTube channels that I follow with great tutorials. I will share my most viewed and appreciated tutorials that I am using for my photography.

Summarizing:

This is part two about how I learn photography from a YoutTube perspective. I love to be on the streets and do a more artistic form of photography. I would like to take more portraits of people with natural light and I am working towards more urban photoshoots in the near future.

I learn a lot from youtube and try to use this when I am photographing. 

The next part is about Pinterest. A social a srouce to learn, prepare and inspire.
