I really like the content, as it's all about the artistry of photography. Too often so much photography content is about gear, which always does scratch an itch I must admit, and does matter a little bit, but is highly context-sensitive to the mission you have in taking photos.
I'm still a noob in photography, but one of the most helpful things in my learning has been youtube videos where other people's photo submissions are critiqued in a constructive manner. Nothing has taught me more about the possibilities of composition in different scenarios, and it has inspired lots of creativity in my own shots and techniques. My favorite Youtube channel for this is Tony and Chelsea (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDkJEEIifDzR_2K2p9tnwYQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDkJEEIifDzR_2K2p9tnwYQ) ... they do a weekly show every Thursday where they critique photo submissions- their feedback is great and they go through lots of high quality photos.
Other noteworthy channels:
Matt Granger (https://www.youtube.com/user/thatnikonguy https://www.youtube.com/user/thatnikonguy)... has lots of content on gear, but his videos about lighting and portraiture technique have really helped me with taking pictures of people.
Mike Browne (https://www.youtube.com/user/photoexposed https://www.youtube.com/user/photoexposed)... Great instruction on the basics of photography, as well as great advice about composing interesting shots (my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-hh0wQ-GI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UT-hh0wQ-GI)
Thomas Heaton (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfhW84xfA6gEc4hDK90rR1Q https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfhW84xfA6gEc4hDK90rR1Q)... One of the best at explaining the creative mindset and struggle of photography. He specializes in landscapes.
