Joseph Blake Photographer & creator
I've been behind the camera for more than 20 years and on YouTube for 10. My channel is where I test gear, break down camera settings, and show how the work gets done on real shoots.

One of my first videos
People find me when they're looking for answers
My most successful videos are about buying decisions.
Someone about to spend real money on a camera wants a straight comparison from someone who has used both. That's what these videos are.
Viewers stick with my videos because I use gear the way I'd use it on a real job, and I tell them what works and what doesn't.

20+ years behind the camera
My YouTube channel sits alongside a working photography business. I photograph families, couples, and portraits in Las Vegas, with select sessions along the San Diego coast.
The testing I do for YouTube is the same testing that decides what I bring to your session. I know the gear well enough to stop thinking about it, so my attention stays on you.

Hi, I'm Joseph
Photographer, YouTuber, and lifelong tech enthusiast
I was raised in San Diego and now live and work in Las Vegas, where I'm also a full-time stay-at-home dad. I've been a photographer for more than 20 years and a YouTuber for 10.
I go to CES, NAB, and WPPI to keep up with what's coming next, so I can explain it clearly when it lands.
