>>3376777Are we rating them for their entertainment value? Teaching ability? Their actual photographic ability?
Kai's autistic ass is probably the most fun to watch. His photos are the kind of boring shit you'd find in the /rpt/ though. His gear review from his time at DigitalRev does a decent job showing off gear that you might be interested in.
Lok is like Kai minus the charisma, charm, entertainment value, or any of the things that makes Kai entertaining.
Northrups are dogshit in everything they do. Their photo critiques are like a hugbox bullshit that doesn't give any real critique, just asspats for mediocrity. Their photos are fucking shit. Their the type of people who try to be a Jack of all trades type instead of specializing in one genre of photography and it shows.
Ted Forbes spews out worthless platitudes about creativity and artistry and tries to paint himself as some sort of hipster intellectual. But his photos are boring as shit so clearly he doesn't follow any of his own advice.
Peter McKinnon is extremely good at documenting the life of his favorite person in the world, Peter McKinnon. His channel is more or less like a reality show about his life than any sort educational resource for anything photography related.
Fstroppers is okay. Their critique show has infinitely more substance than the Northrups, not that that's saying much. They have some great content, except most of their best stuff is hidden behind a pay wall.
Jared Polin has some good photos mixed in with some shit photos. He's basically like a guy who shoots so much that he's pretty much guaranteed to find a few good photos in the trash heap. He's shit at teaching though and provides little to no value to anyone.
