这些天每个人都涉足拍照(photos)和制作视频，但是如果您想认真对待呢？你需要辞掉工作去艺术或电影学校就读吗？
虽然这可能是花几年时间积累学生债务的好方法，但事实证明，世界上到处都是才华横溢的创意者，他们通过YouTube摄影和摄像课程在网上自由分享他们的知识。
1.马铃薯喷气机(Potato Jet)
Gene Nagata 的频道莫名其妙地被称为Potato Jet，但他的频道的真正目的是探索电影摄影及其背后的相机技术。如果您需要了解从消费者到专业单位的相机，这是适合您的渠道。
在他的YouTube摄影和录像课程中，Gene可以用几乎任何人都能理解的方式解释复杂的技术概念。如果您想了解专业人士如何制作电影视频，Potato Jet是(Potato Jet)YouTube 上(YouTube)最开放的人之一。
他几乎创作了有关工作的各个方面的内容，如果不深入了解电影摄影师使用的方法和技术，您将无法从观看他的视频中走出来。他还前所未有地获得了价值数千或数十万美元的高档设备。
2.本克莱蒙特(Ben Claremont)
摄影和摄像界有很多利基市场，Ben Claremont肯定找到了他的。Ben被公认为 360 度内容领域的专家和先驱。
这包括球面照片、球面视频、360 度内容的商业模式、相机技术以及你能想象到的这个新兴市场的所有其他方面。
3.丹尼尔·希弗(Daniel Shiffer)
你见过那些关于早餐麦片或咖啡豆的超级创意广告吗？它们看起来很昂贵，对吗？他们可能使用计算机图形。
Daniel Schiffer开发了自己的方法来制作专业广告，而无需计算机图形或大量预算。丹尼尔(Daniel)只使用创意套装和数码单反(DSLR)相机，为自己开辟了一个其他人无法比拟的利基市场。关于他如何从头开始制作视频以及他作品的实际技术和艺术细节，有很多东西要学习。
丹尼尔(Daniel)乐于分享他的知识。在我们看来，他是最鼓舞人心的创意YouTube rs 之一。他的频道充满了YouTube视频课程，非常适合激发那些想以个人或小团队的形式进行营销电影摄影的人的想象力。
4.彼得麦金农(Peter McKinnon)
Peter McKinnon 最初是YouTube上的视频博主(vlogger)，但这位才华横溢的摄影师很快因其教程内容而声名鹊起。如果您想了解电影制作、摄影和视觉叙事艺术，这是观看的频道。彼得独特的风格和个性使他受到数百万订阅者的喜爱，但他的内容具有真正的教育价值。
这里有很多直接的教学，包括产品评论和特定技术和方法的讨论。然而，彼得内容的真正价值是隐含的。只需观看他发布的视频，您就可以学到很多关于如何只使用编辑和框架来讲述故事的知识。如果你足够细心去理解他在做什么，麦金农构建视觉叙事的方式既特别又容易实现。(McKinnon)
虽然他可能不再需要它，但对于需要弄清楚如何在预算内获得这些惊人的电影镜头或至少如何在后期制作中伪造它的独立电影制作人来说，彼得也是一个很好的资源！(Peter)
5.贾里德·波林(Jared Polin)
FroKnowsPhoto是一个精力充沛、欢声笑语的搞笑频道，也是网络上摄影师最好的教育资源之一。Jared Polin既是一位知识渊博的摄影师，也是一位才华横溢的主持人。
在这个频道上，您不仅会了解摄影艺术，还会了解您的装备。Jared对流行的相机进行了精彩的演练，带您了解每一个场景。他将解释每个菜单项的作用，甚至会为您提供最佳设置的提示。
在他的YouTube摄影课程中，Jared涵盖了摄影的各个方面，但对我们而言，他对装备的深刻理解以及最适合每项工作的工具使这个频道变得无价。
6.无人机电影指南(Drone Film Guide)
相机无人机(Camera drones)正迅速成为任何摄影师或摄像师工具包的标准组成部分。它们价格实惠，具有惊人的视频质量，并将航空摄影带入几乎每个人的可能性领域。
话虽如此，您仍然需要知道如何最好地使用无人机来提升您的项目，这就是Drone Film Guide的用武之地。他们的 YouTube 摄影频道和网站都为初学者和更高级的无人机飞行员提供了有用的信息。
如果您一直在努力拍摄或执行您对无人机的愿景，那么我们建议您首先去寻找想法和解决方案。
7.没有电影学院(No Film School)
这个名字可能是一个重要的赠品，但No Film School对于任何想要制作电影的人来说都是一个庞大的在线资源。这包括对电影设备的评论以及对电影制作各个方面的实用建议，从编写剧本到各种电影镜头的名称以及如何实现它们。
它包含来自许多不同专业人士的采访和内容，这些专业人士在电影制作的各个方面都工作。我们想不出任何其他YouTube视频频道能像 No (YouTube)Film School那样涵盖电影制作主题的长度和广度，因此它是必不可少的书签。
唯一真正的批评是，YouTube视频课程的庞大数量可能令人眼花缭乱。因此，最好回答您需要回答的具体问题。
8.马蒂·哈波贾(Matti Haapojha)
Matti是最杰出的电影制作YouTube rs 之一，并且与(YouTube)Peter McKinnon属于同一创意核心圈子。Matti的YouTube频道有很多装备评论、日常 vlog 和生活方式元素。
但是，频道上有超过200 个教程视频(200 tutorial videos)，都整齐地收集在一个播放列表中。并不是说他的其他内容不能具有教育意义。
Matti在电影工作的创意和商业方面都有非常独特的观点，这是让他从其他创作者中脱颖而出的原因之一。虽然他的个性和前景不会吸引所有人，但如果您点击他的特殊氛围，那么这里有很多东西要学习。
创意巨像
YouTube等价格实惠的设备和平台的兴起为创作者开辟了前所未有的空间。创建我们上面强调的YouTube摄影和摄像课程的大多数人都和你一样。他们渴望成为全职的创意专业人士，但没有标准的路线图来实现这些目标。
如今，分享经验和知识是多么容易，最大的好处是您不必学习他们辛苦学习的所有课程。我们可以在他们所做的工作的基础上再接再厉，为下一代有创造力的人学习全新的课程。摄影和电影的未来似乎一片光明，这要归功于新兴人才站在巨人的肩膀上。
8 Best YouTube Channels for Photography and Videography Lessons
Everyone dabblеs in taking photos and making videos these days, but what if you wanted to take it seriously? Do you need to quit your job and enroll in art or film school?
While that might be a fine way to spend a few years accumulating student debt, it turns out the world is full of talented creatives who freely share their knowledge online via YouTube photography and videography lessons.
Gene Nagata’s channel is inexplicably known as Potato Jet, but the real purpose of his channel is the exploration of cinematography and the camera technology behind it. If you need to learn about cameras from consumer to professional units, this is the channel for you.
In his YouTube photography and videography lessons, Gene can explain complex technical concepts in a way that just about anyone can understand. If you want to learn how a pro does the job of cinematic video creation, Potato Jet is one of the most open dudes on YouTube.
He’s created content about almost every aspect of the job and there’s no way you’ll come out of watching his videos without a much deeper knowledge of the methods and technologies that cinematographers use. He also has unprecedented access to high-grade equipment that costs thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars.
There are many niches in the photography and videography world and Ben Claremont has certainly found his. Ben is widely recognized as an expert and pioneer in the world of 360-degree content.
That includes spherical photos, spherical videos, the business model of 360-content, the camera technologies and every other aspect of this burgeoning market you can imagine.
Have you ever seen those super-creative commercials for breakfast cereal or coffee beans? They look pretty expensive to make right? They probably use computer graphics.
Daniel Schiffer has developed his own methods of creating professional commercials without computer graphics or massive budgets. Using nothing more than creative sets and a DSLR camera, Daniel has carved out a niche for himself that no one else can match. There is so much to learn both about how he built his video production from the ground up and the actual technical and artistic details of his work.
Daniel is open about sharing his knowledge. In our opinion, he’s one of the most inspirational creative YouTubers out there. His channel filled with YouTube videography lessons is perfect to help fire the imagination of those who want to get into marketing cinematography as a solo act or with a small team.
Peter McKinnon started off as a vlogger on YouTube, but this talented photographer quickly gained fame for his tutorial content. If you want to learn about the art of filmmaking, photography and visual storytelling, this is the channel to watch. Peter’s unique style and personality have endeared him to millions of subscribers, but there’s genuine educational value to his content.
There’s plenty of direct teaching going on here, with product reviews and discussions of specific techniques and approaches. However, the true value of Peter’s content is implicit. Just by watching the videos he puts out you can learn a lot about how to tell a story using nothing but editing and framing. The way that McKinnon builds visual narratives is both special and attainable if you’re attentive enough to understand what he’s doing.
Though he probably doesn’t need it as much anymore, Peter is also a great resource for indie filmmakers who need to figure out how to get those amazing cinematic shots on a budget or at least how to fake it in post-production!
A high-energy and laugh-out-loud funny channel, FroKnowsPhoto is also one of the best educational resources for photographers on the web. Jared Polin is both an incredibly knowledgeable photographer and a talented host.
On this channel you’ll learn not just about the art of photography, but also about your gear. Jared does fantastic walkthroughs of popular cameras, taking you through every setting. He’ll explain what each menu entry does and even give you tips about which settings are optimal.
In his YouTube photography lessons, Jared covers every aspect of photography, but for our money it’s his deep understanding of gear and which tools work best for each job that makes this channel priceless.
Camera drones are quickly becoming a standard part of any photographer or videographer’s toolkit. They’re affordable, have amazing video quality and bring aerial photography into the realm of possibility for almost everyone.
That being said, you still need to know how best to use a drone to elevate your project, which is where Drone Film Guide comes into the picture. Both their YouTube photography channel and website are packed with useful information for both beginners and more advanced drone pilots.
If you’ve been struggling to get the shots or execute the vision that you have for your drone, this is the first place we’d recommend you go to find ideas and solutions.
The name is probably a major give away, but No Film School is a massive online resource for anyone who wants to make film. This includes reviews of cinematic gear as well as practical advice on every aspect of filmmaking from writing screenplays to the names of various cinematic shots and how to achieve them.
It features interviews and content from many different professionals that work in every aspect of making film. We can’t think of any other YouTube videography channel that covers the length and breadth of filmmaking topics that No Film School does, so it’s an essential bookmark.
The only real criticism is that the sheer volume of YouTube videography lessons can be bewildering. So it’s best to go in with specific questions you need answers for.
Matti is one of the most prominent filmmaking YouTubers out there and part of the same inner circle of creative as Peter McKinnon. Matti’s YouTube channel has a lot of gear reviews, daily vlogs and lifestyle elements.
However, there are over 200 tutorial videos on the channel, all neatly collected in one playlist. Not that his other content cannot be educational.
Matti has a very unique outlook on both the creative and business side of working in film, which is one of the things that makes him stand out from other creators. While his personality and outlook won’t appeal to everyone, if you click with his particular vibe then there’s a lot to learn here.
Creative Colossi
The rise of affordable equipment and platforms like YouTube have opened up the creator space like never before. Most of the people who create the YouTube photography and videography lessons we’ve highlighted above were people just like you. They had an aspiration to become full-time creative professionals, but there’s no standard road map to reach those goals.
The great thing about how easy it is to share experiences and knowledge these days is that you don’t have to learn all the lessons they did the hard way. We can build on what they’ve done and learn entirely new lessons for another generation of creative people to build on. The future of photography and film seems bright, thanks to the shoulders of giants that rising talents stand on.
