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?

    I’m on my first month down this rabbit hole… Started with a lot of gear related stuff… I got the gear now. Here are a few that are less about gear…

    • Sean Tucker
    • Jamie Windsor
    • The Photographic Eye
    • Learning a ton from B&H channel
    • Omar Gonzalez (his non-gear/fuji stuff)
    • Mark Denney (Landscape/bunch of quick tips)

    Grainydays, Grain check, and Willem Verbeeck are my favorites.

    I care less about gear or techniques, after college photo I didn’t want to hear any more about technique (but I love learning people’s story process), and I don’t care to stay up in gear like I used to.

    I prefer to do searches for my actual gear and see who’s out there using it. It’s a nice way to get inspired without being told that you need to buy the latest and greatest stuff.

    Peter McKinnon. His passion for photography (and other hobbies) is infectious. I feel inspired to photograph/travel/create/do something meaningful when I watch him. Maybe other YouTube photographers are “better” at photography than him, but none are as inspiring

      Wow I had to scroll way too far to see his name. His videos about photography topics inspire me to want to make videography more often :-) love his passion

      I like Peter’s early stuff, but lately, he seems to be drifting away from what first appealed to me.

    Eventually I get tired of watching any of them, but I used to like DigitalRev with Kai and Lam. They were a good balance of informative and fun to watch.

    For reviews I watched Chris Nicholls, Matt Granger, Steve Perry. It’s hard to find a channel that isn’t too ‘youtuber’ in style (“smash that like button and don’t forget to subscribe!”), and knows what they’re talking about.

    Ben Horne, Landscape, large format, film, slow.

    Brews n’ Views Relatively new “podcast”. A group of photographers looking a selection of work, drinking some beer, and talking about said work. I tend to skip the intro 30 minutes of banter and go straight for the photo talking.

    Courtney Victoria British landscape photographer making YT videos feels a bit overdone, but she manages a feeling of light heartedness that not many manage.

    A lesser-known one: Joshua Peg.

    I started watching him because I’ve got the same camera (Canon 250d). He strikes me as an earnest amateur who’s learning his ass off, and who wants to pass on some of that knowledge and encourage others.
