This channel is not about perfection.
It’s not about having the newest gear, chasing trends, or measuring your worth by likes and views. Photography should feel human, not stressful.
I’m Garrick — a photographer who believes photography is at its best when it’s personal, imperfect, and honest. This channel exists to slow things down and remind you that you don’t need to have everything figured out to make meaningful photographs.
Here you’ll find videos about:
Enjoying photography without pressure
Making better photos without obsessing over gear
Learning through mistakes (I make plenty of them)
Staying connected to photography when motivation fades
This isn’t about being the best photographer in the room.
It’s about feeling confident enough to keep shooting.
I end every video the same way because I mean it:
I’m Garrick… and I’m your best friend in the whole wide world.
If you’re here, you’re not alone in this.

I’m simplifying channel memberships a little bit.
Going forward, I’m planning to keep things simple with two levels: Good Friends and Great Friends. Memberships are mainly a way to support the channel and help me keep making photography videos.
I’ll still use memberships for occasional behind-the-scenes posts, updates, and input on future video ideas, but I don’t want to promise a bunch of extra content that I may not realistically keep up with.
I really appreciate the support more than you know.
IMPORTANT: I will be editing the membership tiers today. I do not anticipate there to be an impact on current members, however it is possible.
Thank you for understanding and most of all thank you for supporting the channel.

Two Years ago I had the FBI looking at me!! Today is the annual Pride Parade in Aurora IL - I have "photographed" it a couple times. Just in case you dont know this story. Here is a bizarre cautionary tale. This video is from a couple years ago. https://youtu.be/LOGEVXSnGb0

Just in case you weren’t able to tune in live last night, I just shared my interview with Ron Durant.
We talked about everything from my battles with depression and anxiety, to why I started a YouTube channel, and why I originally had no intention of monetizing it.
It was a really fun, laid-back, and open conversation.
A big thank you to Ron Durant for the invitation!
