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?

    James Popsys is one of my favorite! Although he does still do some gear videos from time to time.

      Yeah he’s my favourite, but he even says on the gear ones he’s sorry but he’s excited about it, plus doesn’t go deep into the specs but more how his photos have changed due to it.

      His thumbnails are also click bait style, until you find out they are done sarcastically.

        I think of James Popsys as fun light entertainment that also contains some nuggets of wisdom.

      Yes, but half his gear videos are along the lines of this.

      Title: “Why I’m throwing everything away and switching to Leica!!”

      Content: he uses a label maker and puts a Leica label over his Sony cameras.

      3 out 4 videos James makes lately seems to devolve into gear talk, which is a shame because he’s really talented, but I guess having a baby at home limits your chances to go shooting somewhat.
