This time on the podcast, we welcome a different kind of creator, Alex Kilbee from The Photographic Eye YouTube channel. You’ll get to hear about his early professional days, his views on film versus digital, and the importance of a good lens. Then you’ll find out why Alex first ever started the YouTube Channel, the skill of making the channel grow, and his hopes for the future…and the possibility of staring a new channel next year.
