Ep78: Nathaniel Dodson

The Angry Millennial

On this episode of The Angry Millennial, we're chatting with photographer and YouTuber, Nathaniel Dodson. Nathaniel is a Philadelphia based photographer & creator of the Tutvid YouTube channel that's been a staple on the platform for the last decade. We chat about his growing up as one of 8 kids, who on long family road-trips got to play with the family 2MP digital camera, getting his first taste of photography. We talk about going trading stocks when he was 12 years old, to selling paintball guns, to finding his true calling. However, it was his love of Photoshop that took over as he launched the Tutvid channel on YouTube in 2006. Years later, Nathaniel decided to get into wedding + portrait photography, a random convention where Dodson was teaching both a Photoshop class + lighting class ended up putting him on the map. Nathaniel talks about how important it was for him to take the time to really learn his craft allowing his YouTube channel + other companies cover his bills.
