So I started my channel in April 2021 to teach photography. But niched down pretty hard to mobile phone photography and even harder to low light mobile phone photography. Since starting we have grown an incredible community both on and off the platform. In April last year, I was one of Australia / New Zealand's creators on the rise. I reached 50K subs at the end of last year and it's growing steadily. Go here if you want to submit your YouTube Channel to be a potential guest on the podcast.
