I have been subscribed to Katy's YouTube channel for years, and it’s clear to see how much she’s changed. Her videos cover a range of topics from relationships to self-confidence, but what makes her stand out is her incredible honesty. She isn’t afraid to be honest with her viewers and her advice is full of supportive tough love. Her impeccable blog posts and fashion-forward style on Instagram only make her that much more inspirational. Watch out world, Katy is on her way up.

2. Danielle Carolan

Danielle’s positive energy radiates throughout all of her content. From her fashion displayed on Instagram, to her lifestyle oriented YouTube videos, Danielle always emphasizes happiness and positivity. She is the queen of hustle and has new content out almost every day. If she can create so consistently as a college student, so can everyone else. Let’s get hustling Dan Fam.

3. Carter Fish

I haven’t been following Carter for very long, but her consistency only makes me want to improve my content. She is an outstanding photographer with a range of experience in her field. Her Instagram theme makes her account one of the most aesthetically pleasing collections of images I have ever seen, and her outfits are always on fleek. We can all learn a lesson or two from her work.

4. Joey Kidney

I’ve been watching Joey’s videos for a long time and he is one of the most honest creators I have seen in the industry. Like many of us, he has been struggling and feeling a little lost lately, but what makes his content special is his honesty. Recently, he's been focussing strongly on his passion for photography on his website and Instagram accounts. From mental health awareness to self-discovery, Joey Kidney lets all creators know that we are not alone. It is ok to change and it is ok to feel lost, as long as you stay you.

Being a YouTuber and filmmaker from Canada, Peter McKinnon has more than a few helpful tips for creators who are just starting out and creators who are working to improve. He is able to get beautiful, cinematic images with a range of technology. From expensive equipment to the iPhone most people have in their pocket, Peter shows creators that anything is possible if you’re willing to work for it.

6. Brandon Woelfel

This photographer has easily become a millennial favorite. His unique magenta and turquoise editing style combined with intriguing uses of light have made his work widely recognizable across many different platforms. Many photographer strive to mimic Brandon’s style of editing and photography, but there is a greater lesson to be learned from Woelfel’s work. Don’t be afraid to develop a unique style, but remember consistency is key. Brandon will always be here to remind us that creating images is meant to be fun.
