    It's helpful for beginners and for people who haven't looked into photography very much. I understand that you don't appreciate it, but that doesn't mean you have to be cruel to those who do. Just move away from "misinforming, over-dramatic hipster videos" and find something that more suits your style.

    The big thing for number 2 has to be emotion for sure! The emotions that were conveyed by what you said were so obvious in the shots. That's a big part of what have made photographers like Platon so major in portrait photography, he knows the art of getting that raw emotion out of the subjects. Would be cool to have a video on how to get emotion out of clients you don't know, as that always feels harder than getting friends and family to open up
