What's the verdict on this guy? Is he cool? Does he know his shit? Is he retarded? Am I the retard for watching his videos?
>>4527458Also, what do we think about his tier list?
>>4527458I don't know who he is, don't care, and I can tell he's not cool just from this one image. I would not listen to his opinions.
>>4527466This thread wasn't for you, sorry about the confusion.
>>4527471If it's not for certain people, don't post it. You've already reached your conclusion, so you don't need any conflicting takes. Answers your final question: yes, you are retarded.
>>4527472This is about whether he's good or not, not whether you've heard of him before. If you don't know anything about his work then your opinion is worthless by definition. Stop being a disingenuous little shit. And if you're a /gg/fag like I think you might be, go back to your containment thread.
he's alright i guess but he seems to poor to be able to run a long term successful photography channel. at some point he will run out of things to say and then he will need to either buy new/interesting gear or travel to interesting locations and that takes money.
>>4527474>>4527474Let's break it down:>photography Youtuber>gear reviews, based on images you've posted>microphone on spoon for le quirk factor>you're asking about him, can't determine things for yourselfNot worth listening to this guy's takes, in conclusion.In general, don't listen to photography Youtubers' opinions. There are exceptions, but that's the rule of thumb. If they're holding a lens and making a tierlist of anything, they're producing content and not producing worthwhile photography. I've said it before and will continue to say it: photography Youtubers strive to make Youtube content, not photographs, so you should ignore photography Youtubers and focus on listening to photographers.
>>4527458Pretty mid. Not bad, but nothing special either. He's had a handful of okay videos with some decent tips but there's only so much that can be said on a lot of topics.>>4527472>If it's not for certain people, don't post it.What a retarded thing to say.
>>4527480Wrong on two counts:>Can't determine things for yourselfI do have an opinion, I just want to see what other /p/issers think.>Strive to make Youtube content, not photographsHe is a photographer that does YouTube on the side as far as I can tell.Partially wrong on a third:>Gear reviewsHe has a couple, but his vids are mostly everything except gear reviews, and if he's talking gear it's usually just him talking about some piece of kit he has that he happens to like.Two and a half outta five, not great not terrible. Granted you've never seen any of his vids or pics so it's not like your post is worth anything anyways but keep trying, you'll post something worthy of (You)s someday.
>>4527483>He is a photographer that does YouTube on the side as far as I can tell.NTA but probably not a pro, very few YouTubers actually are and some just larp or strongly imply they are. Teo Crawford comes to mind, he has a few videos like "I did a advertising campaign for North Face" which implies he worked for them but a bit into the video says he just did the photos and sent them off in the hopes North Face would be interested or at least like them.Having it as your day job is rare. I actually did it myself since I worked for a company that did mostly real estate/architecture along with portraits, events etc and the pay was absolute shit and you were reminded that you were replaceable because everyone wants to be a pro photographer. There's really no room for moving up. Most of these YouTubers are richfags that got their money either from family or a completely unrelated career (Alan Schuller being a real cunt I don't like, since he begs for people to pay into his Patreon for more videos while using and showing off $10,000 camera bags from some gay luxury brand).
>>4527485He takes photos and gets paid for them. I'm pretty sure he works freelance. Not a LARPer. No Patreon.
>>4527459"what do We think??""what do We think??"WaaaaahhhhhGo. Back to the retard site. Go back to YT to get spoon fed.Go where ever it is you came from.>we NOT YOUR PERSONAL ARMYYou're probably notbokd enough to remember that, newfag
>>4527499Uh oh retard melty
>>4527492freelancing isn't the same as being a pro, literally anyone can freelance. you could do one paid job for $20 in a year and call yourself a freelancer.
People with poor eyesight who have to optically correct it with glasses cannot possibly have a relevant opinion on photography.
>>4527458entertaining videosbut that's what they are: videosthey're not photographybut i think he's right in the spot most photographers are atthey do their hobby and enjoy it, but are not producing world class photographs
>>4527523>Have bad eyesight, can't take good photos cuz you can't see shit properly, keep missing focus etc.>Get glasses so you can have good eyesight and actually get your photos in focus.>Get told you can't possibly have a relevant opinion on photography because of poor eyesight, due to wearing the thing that was specifically designed to make your eyesight NOT poor so you can see normally.Seems legit.
>>4527458>>4527471>>4527483Buy an ad>>4527480>microphone on spoon for le quirk factorThis and the forced le epic deadpan dry humour jokes injected into his monologue every 15 seconds make him insufferable.
>>4527458>Am I the retard for watching gear videos?yes absolutely>>4527474>his work posting YouTube gear videos is not "work". or at least not the work we're supposed to see on this board.
>>4527458>look at his channel>he is literally pic related and dresses up a shopping addiction as ascetic wisdomI'm so counterculture and enlightened not like you consumerists *buys 15th camera/lens this year* now just buy THIS its all you need for real this time
>>4527458Anyone who holds the mic up like that on camera needs to be killed.
>>4527458>orange and teal color gradingI can safely ignore anything he says.
>>4527483>/p/issersWe don't talk like that, go back to reddÃt or whatever faggot hole you came from, you are not welcomed here
