  • Happy New Year! I decided to start the year by paying respect and appreciation to Black photographers on RUclips and to amplify their voices. It wasn't easy to find these folks, which to me is problematic. Check out the links to their pages and show them some love. Wishing everyone Peace and Vulnerability in 2021

    Man I’m so glad you took your time and energy to put this together. It’s definitely appreciated. Check out Ernesto Sue photographer from North Carolina, oh professor Hines from NYC, Street Shotz from Atlanta, Tommy 4K, Anthony Toglife, Phloshop, Trevor Wentt, Anthony Toribio, Adrian Lard, Edward Gilbert, Brandon Cole Photography, Simeon Quarrie, just a short list of some of the photographers I follow. Hope this helps. Now I’m looking for black female photographers. Best of wishes!

    This is a GREAT video! Like other's have said, I had to search "black photographers" to find this video! I have noticed that if one wants EXCLUSIVE black content, one must put "black" in front of it. I am not sure if this is because there are so few of us here or another reason! Keep posting and keep up the great work! I wish you the best! 😁

    I am always looking for great videos that are educational and would love to see more black photographers on RUclips. I follow Brandon Cole, Keydrin Franklin, and Prince Meyson because they’re the only black photographers that I found (before this video) that actually create pretty consistent content and the information is informative. That’s what I look for because I am self taught. There are several non-black photographers that I follow and when I watch them I am like “man why can’t I find photographers that look like me that create content like this”. I am excited to review this list that you’ve provided. Thanks for the information.

    If I roam around the neighborhood with camera in hand I’m not not harassed. Regrettably I’m not sure that the case for black photographers. I live in a northern city but can not claim that we have a reputation for accepting diversity. I welcome seeing others out in the community.

    Great subject matter and so glad you have bought this up. I have always asked this question especially in relation to photographers who don’t look like me. I see them getting recognition for creating images and stories about us giving their perspective which can not be as authentic as if it was told through the lens of a black photographer who has lived experience. Black visual creatives and story tellers need to support each other together we are stronger.

    You know what's crazy?? I was talking to my girl the other day about my quest to find more black creators (preferably in photography & videograpy) I ran across your channel just like you found these other creators, so.... I can use your channel to find those other creators!! I'm also from New Orleans, living in Los Angeles!! How crazy is that 😳😳?? I ran across vhalundes channel literally 2 days ago and watched like 10 of his videos!! However, I sometimes have a hard time subscribing to some black creators because sometimes the content isn't interesting to me and I don't wanna just subscribe because they're black ya know?? But, I like TERRY WARFIELD & YCIMAGING!! Also, my quest to subscribe to more women & black women in that same space for photo & video!! So, thank you for producing this content and getting this info out there!! Instant sub.... the New Orleans living in LA made it Instant.... I'm here👍👍

    Out here chasing the light. Students still studying. Everyone with a camera phone but not necessarily understanding exactly what compels them to point and shoot, more than a thing to tweet or post on social media, something other than an atrocity, pornography, tomfoolery.. We need more galleries, storefronts in the hood, sales to barber shops and beauty salons and lobbies s and vegan cafes and tea places and fine homes and housing projects. I saw in an old barber shop 16x 20 black and white photographs of strong black men peering back at the viewer, Black Panthers peeling from the wall, working men in Fred Hamptons old neighborhood where he was murdered, the unsung and the unseen but remembered on this barbershop wall in a neighborhood awaiting the encroach of the Gentry. There they faced out like old Egyptians from ancient pyramid walls! Reminder s. We need to hold a mirror to our worlds, don’t care what shows up. Point and shoot. We still out here chasing the light!

    As soon as your video popped up on my feed, I immediately liked and subscribed! I have been asking this question for a while; thank you for your content. I'm so glad you are addressing this topic. Every Black photographer's channel I come across, I subscribe to. The photographers you listed I am not aware of but will definitely find and subscribe. I have a few I'd like to share by name cause I'm about to retire for the night but felt I needed to make mention now. Tomiya Colvin--also an educator, Brandon Cole, Dana Cole, photomeike, Prince Meyson, shotbytherobot, Phloshop, and Ian Hippolyte. There's also the Black Female Photographers group that has a vibrant Facebook page as well as a website. There are many more Black Photographers here on RUclips I am subscribed to but cannot think of at the moment, however, I will return with more as I come across them. Happy to share these awesome folks though.

    I appreciate what you are doing. However, It is important that you do not project your world view on the classifications of other people who do not agree with your worldview. I'm referring to the use of the term "cis". Admittedly, I had to look up. You may not realize that the term is offensive for a heterosexual and religious black male. My world view is that I could no more choose my gender than my race. And that just a few short years ago, a relatively a small segment of society agreed that they would live in an alternate reality where this was possible. I'm not saying this to be offensive you, but I am sharing with you my worldview without imposing it on you with labels. Among other things I am a Black Man. These are labels that I say are OK. No one would know better than me. I object to being refered to as "cis" as if it were possible that my parents and my God got it wrong. It is not just offensive, it is infuriating. Or is it that people with your world view are the only ones allowed to be offended by imposed labels. I wish you success with your channel.
