A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Hey guys & gals. I’m looking for controversial topics and opinions for me to discuss on a podcast about the industry or as a creator. Give me your best! (Or I guess, worst?)

I wish more people would talk about how GAS is fueled and, in some cases, started by youtube photographers. So you end up with people coming into these subreddits talking about first camera purchase and only choosing the latest and most expensive one. I remember seeing some person wanting to purchase the A9III because it was expensive and new and that meant it was better. Was completely surprised when they were informed it was pre-order only.

The art and love of photography has been replaced with getting as much expensive gear as you can buy for not very good reasons. You have misinformed people coming in and assuming that X camera will do all these things and every photo will be magical.
