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.

There are plenty of youtube channels that tells you how to properly use your gear, light a subject, etc. Very few of them actively discuss the other half of the battle: actually thinking between your shots, and improvising when necessary.

Digitalrev TV back when Kai and Lok were hosts made some good content that really went deep about the philosophy and attitude of 'making it work with what you've got', and I really respected that. No matter how cheap or expensive your camera bag is, nothing will ever be 'perfect', and they had some real gems that help you get in that mindset and actively problem solving for 'making it work'.

edit: dang, I went to the channel and it seems most of the stuff have been unlisted.

Do you niche in anything? Weddings, portraits, landscape, etc… I could recommend some based on what you’d like to focus on!

Thanks!

My main work is portraits / headshots and event (not weddings), but I’d love to take more landscape and street stuff!

Cool, knowing what genres you're into narrows it down.

Can't help with landscape, I'm afraid. Maybe small sample size, but a lot of the YouTube channels I've seen other people recommend for landscape photography were British.

Hope this helps.
