I’m extremely pleased to announce that I’ve recently just hit 200 subscribers over on my YouTube channel.
I never thought I would have reached that many so soon, and I’m very grateful to each and every one of you that has subscribed. It really means a lot and gives me extra motivation to keep making videos each week.

I was inspired by a wide range of photography vloggers and decided to make my own channel earlier this year.
Here are eight of the best channels that have helped and inspired me the most.
