Are any online photography courses worth their money? It feels like everyone shills the shit out of their half-knowledge or brand to squeeze my hard earned shekels out of me.

I was so terrifically thankful for their content that I bought the patch. Tony is a good man, even if in his latest video he shit all over the beautiful new K1s.

I am absolutely certain that most of the people here will hate Tony and Chelsea for being successful and having an audience and all of the other things that ressentiment-fueled adolescents loathe, but I stand by them 1000%. Quality people, quality info. Simple as.

I saw maybe two video from tony, and on both he made glaring technical mistakes. I also dled his book, and it's the dumbest possible book on photography. He basically copy/pasted work from someone else, and even there fucked up basic terms. Plus he's a nophoto, he has not shot a quality photo in his life.

No, but i do know when it's time to delete in camera. That page is fucking embarrassment... All over the place with styles, formatting, sharpening and postprocessing. Thanks for posting it, it reaffirmed my opinion of him being a hacktographer.

>Are any online photography courses worth their money?
No. There is enough information online that is completely free. It is photography, not brain surgery.

Two books that really are worth reading are:

On Being a photographer: A Practical Guide by David Hurn of Magnum in conversation with Bill Jay
Art and Fear: Observations On the Perils (and Rewards) of Art making by David Bayles and Ted Orland

The first one is quite old, pre-digital, so some parts of it are a bit dated. But much of it is still, and will continue to be, very relevant indeed.

You will get more from those two little volumes than a whole library of "How to ..." books

He has literally built a literal empire. His audience is The Everyman, and you don't build Everyman Empires by taking obscure pictures of obscure shit. He is first and foremost a wildlife photographer. Please show me the distasteful wildlife photography with bad execution; that is objectively BAD and not "I don't like saturation like that."

He did a podcast about how arduous that shot was. Good stuff. I know it's not "hey I'ma take a picture of some rando on the street" but he worked his ass off for it. When was the last time you worked your ass off for a shot, anon?

Remember that video he did on a brand new camera (I cant remember which) and the bokeh was so blown out you could hardly even see the camera in question on the table.

It was a great video, and all I got from it was that you can spend a lot of time and money planning and executing a shoot, bring best gear, and use it to the maximum limits it was designed for, hustle and run around for the sake of getting the perfect angle, and fail nonetheless.
