Emily Lowrey: From Shy Observer to Confident Creator
In this episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast, Angela Nicholson speaks with Emily Lowrey, a wedding photographer turned YouTube creator, best known for her Micro Four Nerds channel. Emily’s journey is as inspiring as it is relatable, showing how photography can become a powerful tool for confidence and self-expression.
Listen to another episode of the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast
Emily explains how, as a teenager, she was cripplingly shy and often hid behind her camera at family events. Photography became both a shield and a bridge, allowing her to connect with people while building her confidence. What started as a hobby developed into a wedding photography business that kept her busy for over a decade. Alongside her weddings, Emily nurtured a love of small and affordable cameras, which eventually became the foundation for her YouTube channel.
She shares the challenges of starting out in a male-dominated industry, both in weddings and on YouTube, and why staying true to yourself matters so much. For Emily, authenticity has been the key to her growth - she never set out to be a full-time YouTuber, but her genuine enthusiasm for gear, photography and storytelling resonated with viewers.
Emily also opens up about her career highlights, including being invited by YouTube to share her story as part of their European “Make it on YouTube” campaign and working with Panasonic on the launch of the LUMIX G9 II in Kenya. She talks candidly about the pressures of maintaining consistency online, finding balance, and the boundaries she has put in place to protect her creativity and well-being.
For anyone thinking about starting a YouTube channel or finding their voice in photography, Emily’s story is packed with encouragement and wisdom. She advises choosing your niche carefully, persevering when things feel tough, and embracing your own unique perspective rather than trying to copy others.

Emily’s journey from shy observer to confident creator is proof that there is space for everyone’s voice, and that being yourself is always the best approach.

Episode Transcript
Emily Lowrey 0:05
I'm a very firm believer that there's a space for everyone's voice in this industry, whether it's YouTube or through photography. And I just think it's very important to just be your authentic self. Think if you try to emulate anybody else, you're only going to be the second best version of that, whereas you can be the best version of yourself, so just go for it.
Angela Nicholson 0:22
Hello and welcome to the SheClicks Women in Photography Podcast. I'm Angela Nicholson, and I'm the founder of SheClicks, which is a community for female photographers. In these podcasts, I talk with women in the photographic industry to hear about their experiences, what drives them, and how they got to where they are now, this episode is with Emily Lowrey, who started a photographic career as a wedding photographer and who is now the driving force behind the Micro Four Nerds YouTube channel. Hi, Emily. Thank you so much for joining me today on the SheClicks women in photography podcast. It's really great to have the opportunity to chat with you.
Emily Lowrey 0:56
Oh, thank you so much. I'm really happy to be here. I love SheClicks. I think it's amazing, and I'm really happy to be a part of it today.
Angela Nicholson 1:05
Oh, thank you very much. Now, our paths normally cross at secret squirrel briefings with camera manufacturers, and we don't usually get much chance to actually chat, so this is going to be really nice.
Emily Lowrey 1:15
Yeah, it's so true that. And at the AP awards, when you guys win the awards, and I'm like, yes,
Angela Nicholson 1:23
Thank you. Yeah, that's always fun. All right. So can we start by hearing about how you first got into photography?
Emily Lowrey 1:30
Yeah, so I attribute photography to not to be dramatic about it, but making me the person I am today. I was cripplingly shy, oh, when I was younger, and the way that I would go to, like, family events and things would I would be the nerd that would sit in the corner and take pictures, and I was really, really shy, and I kind of used my camera as a way to sort of interact with people and gain confidence, and it's just sort of blossomed from there, really, my dad was big into photography, so we'd go and do, like, little hikes and do landscape photography together. And then I decided, despite being cripplingly shy, that it would be a great idea to become a wedding photographer, okay, which I did for about 12 years. And then I transitioned over to YouTube. So yeah, it's been a big fundamental part of my life, both for work and also like self development as well.
Angela Nicholson 2:22
So what sort of age were you when you first discovered that you could hide behind a camera?
Emily Lowrey 2:27
Oh, maybe very shy, like 17, like I was. I used to make my mum go to the ice cream van. For me, I was that shy. Oh, wow. So yeah, I started off on a little Sony bridge camera, and then just Yeah, found a love of tiny, weird cameras very quickly, and found like, a Pentax cue with all the tiny lines of like, oh, I can, I can fit that into my bag and take it with me all the time. This is amazing. Yeah, so it's been my whole life, really
Angela Nicholson 2:57
Oh okay. And how did you go from being sort of, well, I say, a keen hobbyist hiding behind a camera to actually becoming a wedding photographer. Did you study formally or anything?
Emily Lowrey 3:08
Never, actually. I was taken under the wing of a local wedding photographer who we were, coincidentally, we went to the same school, and I just sort of reached out to her, and I was like, Can I be your assistant? Can I be your second photographer? Don't pay me. And I did a couple of them, maybe six or seven weddings, and sort of realised how it works, how you can interact with people, best practices. And then I thought, you know, let's give it a go. Let's jump in and see what happens. And then I think it was a transitional period of a good few years, where I went from part time to full time. And then once I managed to get full time, it touch wood. It was very successful. I did that for about 10 years. It was amazing.
Angela Nicholson 3:48
Brilliant. So were you doing any other part-time work at the same time when you were sort of moving into wedding photography?
Emily Lowrey 3:53
I was weirdly how it's all worked out, because I shoot Panasonic. Now. I worked for Panasonic, but for the television division, so I had a little shopping shop in John Lewis, and I was like, here's a lovely television and it was all very dry and very boring, but I spent most of the time over at the camera cabinet, and that's where I was like, oh, there's an Olympus Pen. F let me, let me save up all my money and buy this off display.
Angela Nicholson 4:21
So it's interesting for someone who was so shy at 17 to be, you know, in a shop, be a public facing person, and to do wedding photography where you're constantly interacting with people, that's that's quite a transition.
Emily Lowrey 4:33
Honestly, all of my family, just because I'm YouTube full time now, they're just like, I cannot believe you, you wouldn't even speak to anyone, and now you're in front of a camera for a living. Yeah, but I think I recognised very early on that it was a problem to be so anxious and shy so Oh, but every time I was in the shop when I first started like my little heart would turn over when I approached a customer, and then you just get in a position where you have to do it 50 times a day, and then you. Comfort Zone just grows, and I think that really helped with wedding photography and everything as well slow and steady.
Angela Nicholson 5:05
Exposure therapy.
Emily Lowrey 5:06
Absolutely, I'm a firm believer in that.
Angela Nicholson 5:09
Yeah, me too. So when and how and why did you launch your YouTube channel?
Emily Lowrey 5:15
So it was when I was in as I got the pen F, my first micro four thirds camera. And I was like, Why is nobody speaking about this? This is blooming amazing. And because my wedding photography business was very seasonal. When it came around to winter, I was like, Well, I've got a little bit of time. Maybe I should try and sort of do YouTube in the winter weddings through the summer. And then it was just a slow transition from there, really, where YouTube picked up and I could transition over.
Angela Nicholson 5:46
Has much changed in YouTube since you started?
Emily Lowrey 5:49
So much. I think I was very lucky. I think maybe 2017 when I started my channel, and it was very much like, you know, it wasn't so much of a big business idea. People would just get on the on the camera, and just chat about what they were passionate about. And there was never like, oh, one day I'll get a sponsorship, or one day a brand will send me something. It was more just people not really knowing what the heck they were doing and just having fun with it. Yeah. So, yeah, it's definitely evolved, and I'm very privileged and happy that it can be a job now. But yeah, it was never my intention. I just wanted to be a nerd.
Angela Nicholson 6:23
And it was a bit of a bear pit in early days. You know, some of the comments that used to not necessarily use specifically, but people used to receive were really horrendous.
Emily Lowrey 6:34
Very much so. And I think it's, it's definitely shifting now, as you will know with SheClicks, but a lot of men don't, often like women talking in the space. And sometimes they like, that's not right. Let me explain this to you.
Angela Nicholson 6:49
Yeah, it has changed, thankfully, quite a bit.
Emily Lowrey 6:53
So much, so much. So yeah, and it's so much better now. But yeah, we did get a little bit that in the wedding industry. We'd call them uncle Bobs.
Angela Nicholson 7:01
Oh, yes.
Emily Lowrey 7:02
You know, there was always an uncle Bob with a camera that's like, what are you doing?
Angela Nicholson 7:09
Please excuse this interruption. This episode is brought to you by CEWE, Europe's leading photo printing company, and their hero product, the CEWE photobook, that is the proud recipient of the which Best Buy Award.

So if you're ready to do something real with your photos, head over to CEWE.co.uk, that's C, E, W, E.co.uk, okay, let's get back to the show.
These days. What does your ideal day look like? You know, what do you wake up and you see in the calendar and think, yes!
Emily Lowrey 8:01
Oh, good question. I definitely prefer being out and about trying something new, whether that's a new lens or a new to me camera. It could be 10 years old. I don't mind. I really. I love photography in terms of, like, the composition, and I always get that buzz when I get a really good photograph, and I'm like, Oh, that's amazing. But I am a bit of a tech nerd as well. So if there is a new piece of technology or a new lens, I'm like, yeah, really does inspire me a lot.
Angela Nicholson 8:29
You and me both, yeah, I love getting hold of new stuff and thinking, oh, what can this do? And, oh, what's that for? And how do I use this?
Emily Lowrey 8:35
Exactly. So yeah, if I'm out and about shooting and then the other half of the month is sort of scripting and filming and then editing. But, yeah, it's the bit where I'm out capturing and gathering my thoughts that just feels really exciting. And it never gets old. Like, if somebody, if a camera company, sends me something to test, it's like, what a wonderful thing. You know, I think it's wonderful.
Angela Nicholson 8:55
It's great. Do you still call yourself a photographer? You're not a content creator or a videographer.
Emily Lowrey 9:02
Oh, do you know it's a blurred line, isn't it? Because I think I don't mind calling myself a photographer, because I have made a living in the past just solely through photography, but I think I just like the words camera nerd that's in all of my bios. It sums me up. I'm a little bit of everything.
Angela Nicholson 9:18
Fair enough. And why Micro Four Thirds? I mean, I know that's where you started out, but why have you stuck with that specifically?
Emily Lowrey 9:27
So I coming from my background where I use photography every day for building confidence and just documenting my life. I really always gravitated towards smaller cameras, and because I know how much photography has helped me in the past, I think, like championing the idea of everyday photography really excites me, and I like that Micro Four Thirds cameras and older cameras are usually more affordable, so more accessible to more people and still blooming brilliant. I mean, the truth of it is like cameras have been good for a long time. You don't always have to spend 1000s and 1000s. And I really like hopefully inspiring people to go out and try photography, and I've seen all the benefits firsthand. So yeah, Micro Four Thirds is just that perfect sweet spot of affordability and portability.
Angela Nicholson 10:16
Yeah. I mean, generally in business, they say that niche is good, and so you found your niche. But do you ever think sort of, look over the other side? Oh, I wish I could branch out into that. Or do you just do it anyway?
Emily Lowrey 10:27
Sometimes I do it anyway, like, I'm very lucky to be able to try some of the full frame Panasonic cameras from time to time, like the Loomis s9 for example. I know, do you get the people in the comments going Full Frame Nerds?
Angela Nicholson 10:40
Doesn't have the same ring!
Emily Lowrey 10:41
No!
And it's very funny, because if I review like a Fujifilm camera, for example, no one minds if it's APS C, but the magical full frame barrier just blows people's minds. I like to say genuinely, I'm sensor agnostic, because, like when I was shooting weddings, I have shot weddings on micro four thirds, but I have shot them mostly on full frame. It's just the right tool for the right job.
Angela Nicholson 11:04
Do you find it tricky to balance your desire to create content with, you know, being a photographer and general life, just general life, I suppose. Or is it easy for you?
Emily Lowrey 11:15
You know it is. It's Oh God, cry me a river. What a first world problem, I was, I was away for a weekend for my husband's birthday recently, and I was determined to just take photographs for me and not think, Oh, I could take a camera while I'm going, I could take a lens while I'm going and review it, and then I spent the whole time like, taking photographs on this little compact camera. And I'm just like, This is so good, I'm gonna make a video about it.
Angela Nicholson 11:40
Yeah.
Emily Lowrey 11:41
So I do think I even when I try and step away from it, I end up enjoying it and wanting to share what I've discovered, usually.
Angela Nicholson 11:48
I'm exactly the same. I think a number of times, oh yeah, going away, if you can, I'll just put that in. I'll take this and maybe, oh, what about those lenses and that filter? And you know, before you know it, you're doing a full test while you're away, but,
Emily Lowrey 12:02
Oh yeah, I have a, like, a carry-on full of camera equipment and, like, one item of clothing. So bad.
Angela Nicholson 12:09
Oh dear. What would you say has been your biggest challenge in your career to date?
Emily Lowrey 12:15
Oh, that's a very good question. I think keeping consistent on YouTube could sometimes be very challenging not to get too sad, but like, last month, my very elderly dog passed away.
Angela Nicholson 12:28
Oh!
Emily Lowrey 12:28
And I was just like, the last thing I want to do is get in front of the camera and be like, hey, this this lens is amazing, but that's the aim of the game, isn't it? You know, if I'm contracted for certain brands to have certain deadlines. You know, eight people in a traditional job would have exactly the same thing. But thankfully, it's very few and far between. I'm very happy to do what I do, but sometimes it can be like, ah, life gets in the way sometimes.
Angela Nicholson 12:56
Yes, yeah, I guess, you know the run up to Christmas when you sort of it would be kind of nice to have Christmas, maybe boxing day off, but you probably want to schedule some stuff to come afterwards, or maybe on the day.
Emily Lowrey 13:08
Yeah, it's so true, because Christmas is like so many people are going to be at home with time to kill. So some of the best performing videos of the year tend to be in December and then January, New year, new me. People don't watch as much. So yeah, you've got to, like, my theory is, if I can just work hard in December and then take January off, that might be the best solution.
Angela Nicholson 13:30
Yeah, when you say take January off, of course, you mean, just spend it testing things that you're not you're in denial about,
Emily Lowrey 13:37
Oh, yeah, what I did last January, for example, is film a workshop. So it's just changing gears, just not online.
Angela Nicholson 13:45
And on the flip side, what would you say has been your biggest achievement to date? What are you most proud of?
Emily Lowrey 13:51
Oh, so a couple of years, or maybe two years ago, YouTube themselves reached out to me. They had a European campaign called make it on YouTube, and they paid me to just tell my story on YouTube, about YouTube, and I'm just like, if you, if you'd have told, you know, Emily of the past that YouTube would sponsor a video. It's just like, what? So, yeah, that was definitely a pinch me moment.
Angela Nicholson 14:18
Fantastic. That is really great. Yeah, what do you think led them to you specifically?
Emily Lowrey 14:26
So I don't know. I think maybe I'm quite irreverent on camera. It's very much not a spec read. I think I try to put a lot of my personality into my videos, and I think maybe I'm not a traditional makeup influencer. I'm just a woman, potentially more of a man's field on YouTube. So maybe they thought it was an interesting story to highlight.
Yeah, yeah, sounds good. Now, what would be your advice to anyone who's thinking about starting a YouTube channel in 2025?
Ooo, so first of all, I think think very long and hard about what, what specifically you're passionate about, because like it or loathe it. If a video takes off in a certain genre, that's the content that you're going to continue to make. So if you're all over the place and a random video about something that you're only slightly interested in, is the thing that your channel gets known for. You've backed yourself into a corner. So yeah, I'm very lucky with photography where I don't I don't think you could ever run out of things to say. There's always things to discuss, and products and advice. But yeah, think about the trajectory you want to go in, even if it's just for a hobby, on the off chance that it takes off and it becomes your job like I didn't think it ever would pick your niche very carefully, is what I would say.
Angela Nicholson 15:45
Okay, yeah, I think that's probably very wise advice. Well, I think it's a great time now to go to six from SheClicks. So I've got 10 questions from SheClickers. I would like you to answer six of them, please by picking numbers from one to 10. So could I have your first number.
Emily Lowrey 16:00
Number three.
Angela Nicholson 16:01
Number three, if you had a dinner party and you could invite any female photographer from any time in history, who would it be and why that question is from Penny?
Emily Lowrey 16:10
Oh, that's an amazing question.
Angela Nicholson 16:13
Isn't it?
Emily Lowrey 16:13
Yeah, I think for me, there's, there's a lot of people in the wedding photography industry that really pioneered it to be like a female LED industry. And I would love to pick the brains of some of the women that really made made that a safe space for women, and changed the values of wedding photography. Yeah, I'm calling an absolute blank on the names, so I'm absolutely going to be a cop out for this question. I'd love to talk to those people and ask like, was it strange coming up when it wasn't quite as well known that women photographers in that niche was was a big thing? I think it's an amazing thing.
Angela Nicholson 16:54
Yeah, so relatively recent era you're talking about?
Emily Lowrey 16:57
Yeah? I think so. I think even when I started, it was very male dominated. And I've worked with a lot of men and a lot of women in the industry, and there's a lot of, like, very talented men in the industry. Of course, there is, I think sometimes women are better at posing and getting in on the excitement a little bit more in my experience, and that translates so well to the photography in the wedding industry.
Angela Nicholson 17:22
Yeah, yeah, maybe, maybe Kate Kirkman, formerly Kate Hopewell Smith, she's probably good one to have a chat with, I think.
Emily Lowrey 17:29
absolutely. And one of my wonderful wedding photography mentors is a woman called Emma Wilson. She has story of your day. I did a workshop with her in Switzerland, and I just find the ethos she has it is video rather than photography. But I think a lot of the skills translate her thing is, like, find the story of the day and really tell the couple's story. It's not a box ticking exercise. It's finding the individual story that they like, can empathise with. I think she had a background in like, BBC journalism, so she attacked it in a very different way. And I love her videos. I think they're jaw dropping.
Angela Nicholson 18:06
Okay, yeah, good idea. I think so. Can I have your second number please?
Emily Lowrey 18:11
Number one.
Angela Nicholson 18:12
Number one. What would you tell your younger self if you were starting out your photography journey or your YouTube channel today? That question is from Sue.
Emily Lowrey 18:21
Oh, that's a wonderful question. I think one thing I think about very often, I've just just got my 100,000 subscriber play button just this week. Very nice. I'm just like, Oh, my God, I don't even think I get 100 subscribers. So I think I would tell my younger self to just persevere, even at times when it seems like you're just spinning your wheels, particularly during covid, I had a proper just like hibernation phase, where I just wanted to give everything up, which I'm sure a lot of people can relate to, but yeah, just absolutely, just keep persevering. And it's about showing up and learning a little bit more from every video or every photo shoot, and just getting a little bit better, and you're only in competition with yourself.
Angela Nicholson 19:03
I was on a podcast a while ago, and they asked me what were a similar sort of question. And I said, just go for it. And they said, actually, most of the women who went on that podcast, when they were asked that question, Said, just go for it, because I think we spend so much time dithering and not really sort of and worrying about stuff. Sometimes you just got to have that kick up the backside, maybe from yourself, maybe from a partner or a friend, and just give it a go, because you don't quite know where it leads, but if you stop, it won't go anywhere.
Emily Lowrey 19:33
Oh yeah, 100% I'm a very firm believer that there's a space for everyone's voice in this industry, whether it's YouTube or through photography, and I just think it's very important to just be your authentic self. And if, in my instance, it's I collect weird, tiny cameras. I take photographs of the back of people's heads, because I used to be very shy. It's a unique perspective. I think if you try to emulate anybody else, you're only going to be the second best version of that, whereas you can be the best version of yourself. Off. So just go for it. I like that
Angela Nicholson 20:02
Absolutely. Okay. So could I have your third number please?
Emily Lowrey 20:05
Number six.
Angela Nicholson 20:06
Number six, what is the most challenging project you've worked on, and why that's from marienj.
Emily Lowrey 20:15
So I had a very lucky set of circumstances where I went on safari in Kenya. And it coincided with the LUMIX G9 II launch, which was the wildlife photography flagship. And they very they reached out, and they wanted me to do all of the tutorial videos for that camera. And sort of, you know, really have a key part in the launch, which is a complete pinch me moment. Yeah, wow. It was crazy. And I was like, yes, let's do it. Let's go. I'll review these lenses, and I'll compare it to these cameras, and being in Safari and being out in the Jeep for like, 10 hours a day whilst trying to script and figure out what the heck I'm going to do and have sketchy WiFi and try and editing videos, but on the generator back at camp. Yeah, I think I definitely bit off a little bit more than I could chew for that project. But I'm really proud of the videos, really proud of the photography. And yeah, I can say that I was once sort of the face of one of my favourite camera brands launches, which is insane.
Angela Nicholson 21:19
Fabulous. And you did chew it.
Emily Lowrey 21:22
Yeah.
Angela Nicholson 21:22
You did swallow it. So, yeah, well done. That's great. So could I have your fourth number please?
Emily Lowrey 21:28
Number 10.
Angela Nicholson 21:29
What's the most valuable piece of advice you've received in connection with your work? That question's from Liz.
Emily Lowrey 21:35
Oh, so I think in terms of advice, it's kind of what I said previously, where you shouldn't try to emulate other people. I think you could learn techniques you know, like, if you want to go out and try long exposure photography, for example, there are set rules that we need to follow. But if you go out and try and copy someone's photograph that you've seen in a book or on Instagram, aside from like, a learning exercise. You're not developing your own skill. And I think learning your own skills and your own what you gravitate towards like analysing what you shoot and be like, Why have I photographed these things? Why do these patterns keep reoccurring? And then you can go out and sort of hone your own skills and your own taste and create your own photography style, which is a lifetime's work, by the way, I'm not saying I'm there yet.
Angela Nicholson 22:26
That sounds like very good advice. It also sounds like advice that didn't come from Uncle Bob.
Emily Lowrey 22:31
Definitely not. Uncle Bob was was not involved in that advice.
Angela Nicholson 22:34
You've probably said you want to use a different aperture, or I've got a bigger lens than that.
Emily Lowrey 22:39
Yes.
Angela Nicholson 22:40
Anyway, sorry, let's move on.
Emily Lowrey 22:42
What's your fifth number, please?
Number nine, please.
Angela Nicholson 22:46
Number nine is your current business and lifestyle, what you visualised at the outset, or has it been less structured, more of a natural evolution? That question's from Philippa.
Emily Lowrey 22:56
So when I was in the thick of being a full time wedding photographer and videographer. I'd capped myself at 35 weddings a year, which, as you can imagine, between the editing and sourcing and meetings and everything, is a very full on schedule, and it meant no weekends, no time spending with friends and family. So I really when I thought that YouTube could be a full time thing, I wanted to set some boundaries and keep as many weekend as I could free. And one thing that I adore about my current schedule is I can work from anywhere in the world. Isn't that a pinch me thing? Like just, just this year, I went to Iceland with my dad, and I've been to Japan, and I went to Finland and Valencia, and, oh, it's crazy. So, yeah, I think it's not even It's beyond my expectations, to be honest, I think it's a fantastic schedule, and I do sometimes pinch myself, but I wasn't all part of the plan. I very much got here by accident.
Angela Nicholson 23:55
Yeah, but I think it's great that you set yourself some some boundaries to sort of like, protect your your private life, or you know your your mental health, and give yourself some space.
Emily Lowrey 24:06
Definitely as much as possible, because, I think, because what I'm doing is a creative thing, whether that's scripting or coming up with different ideas or the photography aspect of it, if you do deplete yourself and wear yourself very thin, then the quality overall is going to suffer anywhere you've got to keep the cup half full, I think.
Angela Nicholson 24:25
Just top it up a little bit at a time, absolutely. All right. So could I have your last question, please?
Emily Lowrey 24:33
Number seven.
Angela Nicholson 24:35
Number seven, what is your go to lens that is never missing from your camera bag. That question is from Gisela.
Emily Lowrey 24:43
Oh, brilliant. So my, I'd just done a video on this, actually, so I'm, like, really excited about so the LUMIX 20 millimetre F 1.7 that's a micro four thirds lens. So in full frame terms, it's a 40 millimetre focal length. And I just think, for. Everyday focal length for walking around. It's just that sweet spot where it's not too wide, so you don't feel like you're intruding on anyone. But it's not too narrow, so you can use it for landscapes and street photography. And yeah, the 20, the 20 million micro four thirds is my absolute favourite. And it's a tiny little lens, and it's great.
