For me it wasn't about the food photography but just the information and tips on lighting you give and the other videos about post production, etc as they are extremely helpful!

This is the best lighting channel exists in KZfaq for stilllife. Please continue doing it, I’ve learned a lot with your videos

Continue teaching lighting bro!! You r not a fraud!!

Personally speaking, your videos and content have helped me countless times over the last year. I found your channel searching for something differently entirely and have repeatedly binge watched most of them ever since. We all suffer with imposter syndrome at some point, in this case, explore the new ideas and I’m sure it will be as engaging as the current work. Look forward it.

Your style, very simple, your voice, your knowledge, your honesty and your eloquent personality are the great recipes for successful, just go on.

Whatever you do we will follow you in it as your storytelling ( the way of explaining things ) skills are just exceptional.

I suffer from imposter syndrome in just about anything I do, so I know it probably won’t make much difference when I tell you your content has been exceptional. But it’s true. Your content, teaching style and knowledge is right up there with the best photographers on KZfaq in my opinion. So I’d just like to take this opportunity to say thanks, and I’m looking forward to what comes next.

Your channel by far has been the best I've experienced when it came to actually teaching the subject of photography. Whenever you say in a video "you're probably thinking..." - I WAS THINKING EXACTLY THAT! Your videos are really focused on the user and anyone who watches them can feel it right away. There's so much more content to create that isn't food related, especially product photography for e-comm. There are a lot of new small businesses and home businesses that rely on online sales and photography is the key to it all. Stay.

Bro do what you love. Your "food photography" has helped me understand studio lighting so much. Thank you for that. Im with you all the way bro!! You are realer than all the rest mate

Hey man, I've always followed your channel for the philosophy; the way you talk about food photography and lighting rather than to know more about food and lighting. Super excited to see this channel diversify! 🙌🏽

One of the greatest qualities of a teacher is, the ability to explain and breakdown complex topics or ideas to the bearest minimum, and that's what you do all the time. I subscribed to your channel because you always deliver and your contents are mind-blowing awesome. I am not a food photographer but I have seen most of the videos on how to light food and reflective surfaces. Keep up the good work, we will transition with you and consume the good contents you have coming our way. Thanks

I just need to let you know that most of the things that I know about photography in general are because of you, and your channel. And it's not about your topics, it's about the creativy that you have to explain and teach. I know, I'm a food photographer looking for photography videos to keep myself learning, but that dosen't mean that people like me are going to stop watching your channel, and it's because you're more than this! You're like a lens on a camera, you teach us to see and understand in an artistic way our world. And that's fantastic!

I just wanna say, your videos are great. I am glad you are a content creator and a teacher on this platform because you make things very simple, yet explain complex issues perfectly. Your videos inspire me so much I hope you are happy !

your food photo aint fraud! also, while most audience might have come for your food photo tutorial, they stay because of you. Your way of expression and the way you curate your video has always been well thought and easy to follow. we will be lookin forward to learning more from you

Many bloggers start off in a niche and expand. That's why many decide to change their blogger/website name to their actual name. Their name reflects that the channel encompasses their interests. You do you! Your unique essence is what matters. If it doesn't work for some, they can leave and it's alright. Others will come that are aligned. I follow you for the clarity and love behind your videos. I've learned so much and look forward to your videos about storytelling, art development, and gear. It will help us take our art to the next level!!

Gonna support and follow you no matter what 🙌🏼 all of your content is inspirational 💯 Kudos to you for courageously posting this!! 👏🏼 You do you!

I recently found your channel, while in the process of downsizing and simplifying my small unused home studio. Your examples and techniques for explaining the ability to see light go way beyond food. Many years ago, I was a professional photographer who came to a similar crossroad. Too many studio portraits and too many weddings. Life happened and other directions appeared. I am happy to say that through out my journey, photography has alway allowed me to explore other venues: landscape, street, macro, still life and yes, people again. I agree with Hijabs and Aprons, "You do you!" and I will be there watching.

You are a great teacher. I absolutely love your "minimalist approach" when presenting your contents over trying to look or sound "epic". You have gained my trust, and I will continue to learn from you, whatever you decide to teach me/us in the future. Best wishes!😊

Sir, you are actually the most inspiring photography youtuber to me! Your content helped me a lot!

I actually came to your channel not because the food photography, I just want to learn how to handle the lighting. Seeing you doing things behind the shot and then trying it by myself really really help me. Before know your chanel I don’t know a single thing about lighting, now I’m really confident to start a „mini studio“, just because your videos! Keep it up! I really really like the way you teach people

Do whatever you'd like, but don't drop the food totally! Do it when you feel like it. The lighting lessons are great.

You really stood out in a pool of youtubers for me with regards to being honest and teaching lighting to all of us, even if it was technical, it was helpful. But I'm glad you're on the path that makes you happy. We'll keep waiting for your lighting tips and tricks! Take care!

Arguably the best lighting tuts and well put together videos on here. Keep teaching lighting, but also story telling. You're very good at it in the contexts of both photo and video!

You’re an amazing teacher and the “new” topics you said you want to explore sound fascinating! Looking forward to seeing what you come up with 🙌🏻

I never comment on KZfaq videos but I felt compelled to throw one on here. Found your channel about 2 weeks ago and it's quickly become one of my favourites. Basically every video is useful in some way. I honestly think whatever content you choose to make will be great. Don't put too much pressure on finding the correct niche or audience. Just do what you love dude, the audience will follow. All your content is 👌👌.

Definitely continue teaching about photography, whether it is food related or not. Your teaching is probably the best on youtube and I've learned A TON from your content.

I feel like we all deal with imposter syndrome at time..and although you don’t do this on a commercial level, you are 100% a creative professional. The quality of work and videos you produce are top notch. I think you should expand into more video topics but please don’t stop providing value in this niche! You deserve the recognition for your talent as a photographer not just in the food niche - but as a creative. I’ve come across plenty of people in the “commercial” space that still don’t know what they’re doing.

you are amazing bro! you are my teacher, not a fraud, I'll never unsubscribe, just make everythink that you want, supporting you as always!!

Learning a lot of stuff from you every single day! Can't thank you enough. Don't limit yourself, would love to learn more from you!

Don't stop you've really inspired me with lighting and food photography... you confirm overcome this.... you're not lying or a fraud. .. you're just doing what you wanted too and that's a crime..... do food do street do what every your heart wants to do.. just don't give up you'll make it...!! ☺

You are not a fraud you are doing great work. I 100% agree with Jamie , it wasn't about just food photography but also lighting and tips, if you need a video idea I like to see a video how to stage the food , I'm at a loss.

I agree with Jamie Kim. On top of that, your channel is well presented and your pronunciation is good, unlike many we see today. None of this 'What's up y'all' crap. I have really enjoyed every one of your videos that I've seen - and I have learnt a lot from your clear instruction. I also appreciate the comical bits that you throw in from time to time. Please keep up the good work.

Whatever video content you make, its okay! I like learning a lot of things from you.

I follow many channels here on KZfaq. But yours is one of the best I've ever seen. You with your simplicity pass the teaching perfectly. I wish you luck on this new journey in your career here, and of course I will continue to follow, because it doesn't matter the content, but the teacher, which is what you are. Thank you very much. Greetings from Brazil.

I love all your videos because they give me some information, tips for my commercial work! Learning lighting from you is an interesting journey when I found your channel 2 years ago. Keep doing what you want to do because everything giving by you is valuable for us - subscribers

This wasn't about the food photography for me. I loved your lighting and the way you teach about it is absolutely stellar :) you're doing a great job and as long as you keep the lighting part going I'll stay :)

Youre first photography youtuber that i followed and look back everytime i felt overwhelmed, just wanna say thank you its help me alot

I'm 5 videos in and I think you're a fantastic teacher. I see what you're saying regarding feeling that impostor syndrome...and I think this is a challenge other KZfaqrs have too. We're stickin around!

YOUR HONEST IN YOUR CONTENT. THAT IS ALL WHAT AS VIEWER WANT TO SEE IN THESE VIDEOS....

i love your videos, even as a professional designer they give a ton of inspiration and reminders of forgotten knowledge :D, our brains can only hold so much, watching your videos opens op for that material again :), your videos are so well level, well crafted, approachable and thought through, your approach to teaching and explaining complex theories is refreshing, detailed but not overly detailed and dictating, i think this is what you should pin as your core, don't think too much about what you are shooting or what your "should" be shooting, stories are everywhere and in everything, i would love to see your approach to story telling, light, colors etc. on portraits (how to feel the persons life not just light), landscape, portraits in nature, still life setups, cover shots, family portraits, architecture, derelict industrial architecture, animals, sports, airplanes, cars... you name it, photography is not about one theme or subject but the story behind all of them ;D... and remember Bob Ross, there are only happy mistakes ;D, but seriously allow yourself to experiment and hopefully we can be part of that journey :)... thanks again for all your hard work.

I really love the way you explain all tricks in your videos. I am not really good in English but I understand what you teach and I learned a lot from your channel. Thank you so much.

Thank you for your “vulnerability”…..I take my hat off for you. You are in no way a fraud. You have empowered me in improving what I love doing. May you find what would bring you peace….🙏🏾

Being yourself is the most importend. So, experiment along! Looking forward seeing you!

do what you love ! we'll love what you do !! You opened my photograhy world ! Love and support from france :)

I’m pretty much sure that most of your subscribers are here to see the tips and advices you give. It’s not much only about “food photography” you can replace it with any “other photography” and we will love you and support you anyways 😸

All the best in whatever you choose. Your videos has been very helpful in my journey. Looking forward to your upcoming videos!

I think many creators go through that phase of cross roads and have doubts but I think you are doing just fine. I will definitely stick around to see anything new you want to share!

Whatever video you will make right now, I would definitely watch it. I feel like when I watch your video it 's more on personal already. For me you're already a friend that I need to visit from time to time 😁. Goodluck with your channel.

You have been doing a great job mate! All the more excited about those storytelling vids coming in!

As a food photographer I have found SOOOOO much helpful information in your channel (and I follow really a lot(!) og KZfaqrs on this topic) Hope yoo will continue to share valuable videos no matter the field ;-)

Excited to support you through this experimental phase, even if I don’t “like” all of your initial videos, I’m confident you’ll land on a path making week-over-week growth towards a captivating topic!

I don't think anyone here is considering your work as a fraud. We are here because you are good at teaching. Your tips and knowledge are very helpful and I'm telling you this as a professional teacher with many years behind. You have a natural talent no matter what you want to share. So keep going, I will be still here waiting for your next video. Do what makes you happy!

Your channel is one of the best and genuine lighting tutorial on youtube. Tq Wish more of videography tutorial

You are a great content creator, keep exploring different topics!

I would love to do your online food photography course. One of the best course out there according to the context and your offers. It's just I'm also in a middle of a cross road and financially broken. It is a lot of money at this moment for me. I'm your one of the top follower and with you from the beginning of your channel.

Please continue teaching us about anything you want to! You’re the only channel that I dont skip the video to get to the point 🌻 I hope you venture unto different things to be happy. I will forever always support you! We’re happy if you’re happy.

Keep at it. Although most of your videos were about food photography i used what i learnt from you in product photography and it helped alot with my clients. The way i see it you used food as a medium to teach which is brilliant. Theres no reason not to move on to another subject as long as you keep going with the way you teach. I think personally after watching photography heavyweights on youtube on whatever subject you have to be the greatest teacher out. If anything my dude show us lighting on something else just dont turn into the typical gear reviewer because youtube is overly saturated with them. In saying that i would definitely be keen on seeing some reviews by you and how you it works in your view with your own examples. Cheers. Keep it up

I really appreciate your journey 💛

Brandon you are doing great !!! Love your every contents

I am learning about the light here, not about food photography

I'm with Hijabs and Aprons :)

you are amazing, really, the content you post shows that you put your heart into it, you do you, we will continue to see your videos either way :)

Joined this channel because of the studio + flash photography. Very interesting to see the process on how to make the shot. do a snoot + other light modifier video.

Hey men so happy you're back, i was following your content and i did see a video for month i was kinda worried. You help me so much with photography product.

Very much looking forward to your new videos and content. Iwas never watching your videos because of food photography anyway but to learn more about lighting and you teached me a lot here. I am sure, that whatever content you will show in the future, it will be as helpful and interesting as always!

You do you buddy! I watch cause I respect you and your craft and want to learn from you. Whether food, weddings, or something else, I love what you’re doing and will keep on watching! I’ve learned so much about lighting more than food from you and your take on everything has really helped to change my perspective on so many things.

Would love more storytelling videos. Love the coffee commercial. 😁

Supporting you all the way!!! 🔥✨

Go full all in as you wish and feel and those that dig it will follow 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😍

I'll keep supporting you and the channel Brandon! It wasn't only about the food photography, but the knowledge, story, and tips you give us are what matters the most.. Since you mention that you are also a wedding photographer, it would be nice to hear about your journey in creative career. Please continue to teach us in any way you'd like to! :)

I love your Content, regardless of the topic. Infact your Lighting skills are Supreme, which can be applied to any stream of Photography or Videography. ☺️ So just chill.. We Love you.. Keep smiling & put out the content, what you Love.. ☺️

Teaching is often a learning experience. I enjoy your work, don't let the would-be audience define you. Keep it honest, keep it fresh. Looking forward to your next step.

I learned a lot, I mean a Lot, about lighting you teach. I like the way you tell us story. I'm a product and food photographer(kind of) but the most important is light, and you show me that. Do want you want to do, I'll follow.

I found your channel while looking for different pov about creative photography. Although you talk about food, as you said, every tip you share here applies to other niches as well. As I was going through your videos, I had this feeling that you excels at going through technical stuff and make us think what really matters as a creative process, which is why I subscribed in the first place. So if i could give my 2cents here, why not extend what you already build? For example, motivated light. You explained it to us, but why not take outside examples and take lessons from those movies/series/photos, etc. Your channel is awesome Brandon, keep the good work and thanks for sharing it with us. I'll always support your ideias the best i can :)

I think I love that you’re not working with brands, I don’t want that info I just want the teacher to teach me photography as an art. I understand I may be alone here which makes me sad. You’re an artist, and I learn how to hone my food photography art through your teaching. Also it feels like you’re right next to me teaching in a way no one has taught me before. I would love other topics like composition but lighting is really my favorite Avenue. What if you did fun videos where you recreate photos and show us how you do it. You could start with an Alex Lau! :)

I have learnt soooo much from you. Just wanted to thank you.

We will support and follow you bro! Wish u all the best with what ever you are planning for. Saeed

To be honest 🙏 your VDO was so valuable for me . My self I work as a chef . And I can say your work is awesome The way you do.

I'm looking forward to the new content! I'm not a food photographer but I always learned something from watching your channel!

Will support and follow you , learned a lot from you.please keep doing whatever you want to do.

I would love to see all the other parts of yourself, I'm sure you hold so much more interesting stuff. Please be true to yourself cause in the end you will have to be happy and if you will be happy, you will make others happy too :)

Your newest video about adverts was amazing. Don’t stick to food photography, your other work is amazing as well.

do what ever you feel like! There are loads of DIYers that have chanels who arent pro in their field, yet they teach with what they know. Same with your videos, I tried loads of your technics and they helped me, and yeah I am a paid foodphotographer. just because you dont gain money doesnt mean you cant share knowledge keep it up! I like it!

Would love to hear your thoughts and experience with story telling since you mentioned you're shooting weddings back then. I would always follow your channel man, you're a hidden gem and I've learned a lot from you. To more lessons stay safe!

I never viewed your channel as a food photography channel; it was always lighting. Based on this video it sounds like you took your experience from shooting weddings and your passion for teaching and used food as an always available subject when teaching - hence coming off a "food photography" channel to some. Although you may feel like an impostor, maybe the only question left to ask is: Great!, I've seen all the videos, can you get a job shooting food? Then you can answer the questions the subscribers ask that make you feel like an impostor. Someone you know, or a fan/sub can shoot a BTS for you on set and you can have video(s) for the channel to answer questions based on your experience; and if your journey through video/photo translates from shooting weddings to > teaching with food to > paid food shoot. Thank You.

*** Do What You Love. Love What You Do. ***. 🤙🏽✌🏽

I came to your channel because of food photography, but then I realized that the true value of your content wasn't food but lighting. I love the way you explain things, and I'll continue following you because I know you'll share good stuff. Btw, I thought you were a commercial food photographer. Can I ask you what's your field or what type of photography you do professionally?

Pls do continue making tutorials . . I do enjoy your vids :)

Dude just keep doin whatever you do ,because u do it well. And about that fraud , mate , I swear to god I never seen a KZfaqr say that truth , you are either a photographer or a youtuber. How the hack would you have time for both ? So to add 1 more thing : I think a niche it is actually better but then this goes back to my first sentence: do what feels right to you. I thought I will never say this but you are my number 1 youtuber from now on . Cheers !

Te seguiré enseñes lo que enseñes Brandon porque eres muy bueno en didáctica. Tienes un don par enseñar, con mucha preparación y entretenido ademas. Gracias por la explicación pero en mi caso al menos la fotografía gastronómica me sirvió para conocer tu canal, lo demás que esté por venir será también genial. Haces bien en cambiar para ser consecuente contigo mismo. 😘😘

I appreciate your honesty! I don't think you're a fraud at all but I do think you need to have some passion to continue doing this or you'll just continue to have mental and creative blocks. I'd love to see more about your story telling and other aspects of video making. You may lose some followers, but that's okay. You still have a lot of value to the youtube world and photography/videography.

I'd find a video on how to photograph for printing useful.

👍👍👏👏👏🎈

I'll be honest, your channel is like Daniel Schiffer but photography!

So many channels on yt about photagraphy is all the same. They teach the basics over and over again. I found your channel and I felt like I could learn things that would lift my level of photagraphy with lighting to the very next level and beyond. So don't feel like a fraud! Teach what you know and you will help so many people improve!

I understand where you're coming and how it definitely makes you feel uncomfortable. With that said, how about creating more content and expanding more on the topic of lighting outside of Food Photography? I've recently found your channel and in my case, I've learned how to light my subjects and not my dinner. I think you're great at teaching both artistically and 'factually'. We would definitely need a teacher like you and help us improve our lighting skills :")

What? You said you’re going to dance like they do on TikTok? 🤣 j/k It’s okay man, you do you! 👊🏻

You can talk something about your equipment, people like it.

You do great videos'. (: Try just doing one video a month just to pace yourself.

I have no interest in photographing food. I follow you for the lighting and setup instruction. What would interest me is storytelling with still life photography.
