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?
i watch Simon D’entremont for tips and tricks aswell as Nigel Danson.
if i just want to watch entertaning photogrphy content i watch NorthBorders, Inyourfeyes, Hayden Pedersen(photobattle’s) and Becki and chris if they have any resent photography videoes outAnybody got any suggestions for ICM photography?
Stephanie Johnson has a channel with a few videos, but she mostly runs workshops.
This is such a good resource!
I think I got all the links correct, I did this kind of quickly so I wouldn’t be surprised if I borked a few of them. The ones that aren’t linked were ones that didn’t immediately come up with a channel with a search, if you have those channels drop the link and I will update the list.
Graincheck / Landscape, city, studio
Sean Tucker Photography / Interviews
Thomas Shallen
Tatiana Hopper / Classic Photography
Teo Crawford / Landscape, Street, film
Jarred Wilson

Thomas Heaton
Sean Bagshaw
If you like Grainy Days, Graincheck and Willem Verbeeck are similar. Kyle McDougall is great too.
I think Courtney Victoria also fits here perfectly.
I cannot recommend enough the channel EYExplore. He’s a great working photographer based in Tokyo. His photography and general discussion are engaging. But his most impressive trait is his ability to talk through his thinking while he’s shooting. He is incredibly clear and cogent in real time about his choices for exposure and composition while shooting on the street.
His videos have a relaxing quality to them. For me the most fun is the shock from the locals when a Polish man in a shellsuit starts speaking fluent Japanese.
I like James Popsys. He does do some gear videos but not all. He’s actually very entertaining to me.
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
You should check Olle Nilsson and Saurav Sinha also
Brian Lloyd Duckett for street photography
Two of my personal favorites are:
Both focus on the art of taking the photo and not on the gear.
For studio stills I like Camera Club Live. For street, a few that have already been listed but also StreetSnappers.
Toma Bonciu. search on YT and you will find his channel. I’ve known him since 2012 and he is a really good landscape photographer. he also has other projects too and some gear reviews. his main point is that if you know what you are doing you can get great results with any gear.
