A while back I bumped into this photographer on Youtube. His name is Alex Kilbee and his channel is rather different. Most photography related channels focus on gear. Camera reviews, what’s the best camera, best lens etc. He describes his channel as follows:

A channel dedicated to helping you discover more about the art and history of photography, so you can become a better photographer.

I am Alex, and I’ve been fortunate to be a professional photographer now for around 30 years.

Having a wider appreciation of the art of photography is the key to creating photographs that stand out from the crowd and speak with your own unique voice. Think of this channel as a free course in learning how to speak visually through your photography.

This recent video (above) is a good example. In it he considers why it is that Youtube tends to largely show the gear related content. He provides information on other photographers who provide other photographic content (some of which I already knew, a number I didn’t). Then, based on his knowledge of the Youtube algorithm he explains how you can get Youtube to show you more non-gear related content.

Great stuff! Take a look at his other videos.
