Photography Online
Hosted by Photography Online
A UK-based show from a team of professional photographers sharing tutorials, gear reviews, travelogues, and monthly industry news discussions.
This is the content marketing engine for a photography tour company, presented as a multi-format show for enthusiasts. It blends practical, single-host tutorials with travelogues from the team's global scouting trips and a monthly panel discussion on industry news. The formats are distinct but unified by the same team of professional UK photographers.
“Unlike solo-creator channels, Photography Online is run by an established tour company, and its travelogue episodes often serve as a direct preview of trips viewers can actually book. The use of a rotating team of professional hosts with different specialities provides a variety of perspectives and formats under one banner.”
Who hosts this show
Photography Online is the media arm of MC2 Photography, a company run by professional photographers Marcus McAdam and James McCormick. The show is presented by a team including McAdam, McCormick, and former radio host Ruth Taylor. It serves as a content hub for their primary business, Photography Online Adventures, which runs global photography tours and workshops. The content ranges from technical tutorials and gear reviews to travel documentaries that often double as scouting trips for their tours.
