I used to watch people like the Northrups, Thomas Weaton or Kai Wong, but it starts to be repetitive watching them all the time. Do you have any youtubers that are not cringe and add some value to this hobby?

    Surprised I’ve only seen Adrian at aows mentioned once! He’s my number one for 100% photography with no gear GS. Sean Tucker would be second. I’d put James Popsys in 3rd. Honorable mention goes to Alan Schaller who I think is the most talented street photographer working these days.

    The one who helped me the most to appreciate going out and shoot and enjoying the process is Faizal Westcott. He also matches my personality. I also love watching Mike Chudley, Pat Kay (especially for his composition videos) & KingJvpes for film photography 😌

    Haven’t seen his name and I’m from the area so I gotta shout out my man Vuhlandes for repping Detroit and making great photos in your own neighborhood

    I like James Popsys, Vuhlandes and Dylan Spitz the most. Tatiana Hopper is also great, she delves into the styles of different famous photographers, a really great resource for inspiration and technique here and there.

    I’ve followed Evan Ranft for a long time, and he does have some videos that are clearly targeted towards newer photographers, there’s still many I love where he’s exploring Atlanta and capturing shots and then showing them or the edits and I’ve always loved that.

    One of my more recent favorites is Paulie B, and I think his videos are for every level. Not only does he do walk arounds of NYC I find fascinating, but his walk and talks with other photographers are incredibly englightening.

    My favorite is OpticalWander, binged watched his videos during lockdowns and got my own camera because of it.

    Some others I watch:

    Zenography, Simon Utak, James Popsys, Marco Aries and Snappiness

      He’s a religious nut though? Back over a decade ago that was pretty much the only photo site i used to read.

    If you shoot Fujifilm, check out Pal2Tech. It’s not so much the gear reviews as the loads of info on how to set up and use your camera that are worthwhile. He does a really good job of getting into the guts of the menu options, various settings, and exactly what each feature does.
