Apologies if this gets asked allot. Absolutley done with watching my regular YT photography channels, I just don’t give a shit about new gear anymore, awful clickbait thumbnails & titles are getting worse, and the tribal nature between big brand fanboys in comment sections is boring. I want to remove myself from this part of the photography world to stop that feeling of always needing to upgrade.

Any YT channels out there just focusing on the process & art of photography?

    Some of my favorite channels do some gear related once in a while, but those are far and in between. For example Ted Forbes (The Art of Photography), Thomas Heaton, Nigel Danson, e6 Vlogs, First Man Photography, Hudson Henry, Mike Smith Photography

    I like James Popsys. He does do some gear videos but not all. He’s actually very entertaining to me.

    Seems like a ton of these guys are landscape photographers, so I’ll throw in someone different. Josh Ball still has a pretty small following (under 5k) but as someone who shoots often with models (I’m terrible at making vids though), it’s hard to find a model photographer on YT who doesn’t outright serve up the models in lewd poses in their thumbnails or vids while still creating sexy lifestyle photos. He also does all of the BTS himself, which isn’t easy at all. And throughout most of the shoots, he describes what he’s doing and why he’s doing it so you can learn from him as well.

    Phlearn / Aaron Nace photoshop compositing

    Mark Wallace / Digital Photography 101 series is a great all around series covering the basics of lighting, composure, exposure triangle, etc.

    Elia Locardi / landscape

    Andy Mumford is fabulous for landscape stuff.

    He does do some gear reviews - but it’s all in the context of getting good photos not gear wankery if that makes sense.

    I have a channel that I started last year, all POV footage of me travelling around South East Asia shooting mostly street photography. Not much talk about gear apart from mentioning what i’m using occasionally. The channel is slowly picking up steam, check it out! I’d appreciate it.
