Jesse Driftwood is a Canadian photographer and video creator with a huge social media following, most notably on YouTube and Instagram where he currently boasts over 364,000 subscribers and followers. His videos have been watched over 8 million times and include his reviews of various cameras and editing software as well as tips, hacks, musings, and updates on his family life — he is a proud husband and committed father of two young children.

Jesse Driftwood was born plain-old Jesse Korgemaa in Newmarket, Ontario. He now lives in the city of Hamilton with his young family and is a proud advocate for all that the city has to offer. He initially became interested in photography through his passion for skateboarding. With videos and photography such an integral part of the skate scene, he wanted to capture himself flipping his board. Eventually, skateboarding fell by the wayside, but his love of film and photography remained. In particular, he is motivated to “capture the beauty of momentary human interactions”. He does this by recording everything from his own travels and his children growing up to other peoples’ weddings.

With such a large social media following, it’s unsurprising that Driftwood is so active on his social media platforms. In particular, he has been sharing a lot of content on Instagram about their Stories feature. But whatever platform he shares his content on, it will doubtless be high quality, informative, and capture the beauty of his own momentary human interactions.
