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.

I do mostly Landscape and Milky way photography just for the hobby. Really thinking about going to school as my passion has grown. Before I do that though I'd like to try on my own with some added free advice!

I am a huge fan of Pat Kay. https://www.youtube.com/@patkay

He has a lot of videos that are about the art of photography. A lot of channels out there focus on technique, gear, software, etc. Pat makes really good videos about what makes a good photograph and why. His "Visual Patterns" series is great.

Search YouTube for "B&H Event Space + [photo genre]." You'll find hour-long presentations by photographers on that genre. Wedding, sports, portrait, all kinds of great stuff.

I do mostly Landscape and Milky way photography just for the hobby.

Examples:

B&H Event Space landscape

B&H Event Space astro

There is a B&H Event Space channel, but I find a lot of the videos are still on the main B&H channel. So it's easier to find videos with a YouTube search.

Hope this helps.

Not going to say I'm the best but I've got a small photography/videography channel. Im doing anything form gear reviews, to tips and tricks, to POV stuff. Check it out if you've got a chance!

Alyn Wallace does great Astro videos. I second Pat Kay for general photography knowledge as well!

I don't know about the best, but Simon D'entremont has a channel who focuses alot about giving advice.
I've seen a few of his videos, and it is pretty good content, but he has a tendency to click bait his titles about what the pros do, and that annoys me more than it ought to do :)

I also like James Popsys and Thomas Heaton, not for any advice given, just for general photo entertainment and good quality content.

The same for Fototripper, but he is more about being funny while producing good photo content, and it works surprisingly well.

Anthony Morganti has a channel focusing on the editing process. Mostly in Lightroom, if I remember correctly. But a good source for tips and know how

Christopher Frost for gear reviews, I especially like his lens reviews.

I do enjoy me some Jared Polin, but he is not everyones cup of tea. But his podcast is good to listen to while out shooting or commuting

Keith Cooper for everything about printing, and I do belive that a good photo deserves to be printed.
It has really upped my enjoyment of photography after I got myself a home printer.

Mike Smith gives good advice, but he hasn't posten in a few months.

Morten Hilmer is an excellent wildlife photographer and produces quality content. Maybe not geared towards giving advice, but is a good source for inspiration

Nigel Danson is a landscape photographer that is both entertainment and provides good advice and tips every now and again.

I would like to add piximperfect for the editing side of photography
