Not much discussion on these that I have seen so thought id start a topic to see what people thought.
Now obviously there are a lot of them out there and this isnt really about ones like DigitalRev which is more about the 'team' and reviews than the actual photographer in question but iv noticed that the actual decent photographers (apart from say Chase) with good history tend to have very little views compared to those with cack work, zero credibility in the photography world.
I guess the exception would be Froknows'Contrast'Photo , whos had a bit of history even though hes lost his way on Youtube nowadays but racks up views like no tomorrow.
but yeh, does it make you annoyed that people like Snapchick, DomBrower can talk such drival and get away with it?
What do people think about Art of the Image - he seems like a likable guy but has he ever taken a photo in his life?
I guess i'm posting this out there because I don't necessarily mind the youtubers that treat it like a bit of fun doing reviews in their spare time after photographing their kids etc (Dave Dugdale for example) and its nice to have that lighthearted element in the scene but its just the ones that make a living from it with zero substance behind them that makes me wonder how they get away with it, I dont see how people can learn from them if its personality/boobs over skill.
