My name is Ted Forbes and I make videos about photography. I’ve been making photographs most of my life and I have a tremendously deep passion for photography that I want to share with you on YouTube.
The Art of Photography is my channel and I produce photography videos to provide a 360 degree look into the world of making images. We all want to get better so lets do this together!
I make videos covering famous photographers, photography techniques, composition, the history of photography and much more.
I also have a strong community of photographers who watch the show and we frequently do social media challenges for photographers to submit their own work. I feature the best and most interesting on the show when we do these so come check it out and get involved!
Hey Ted, thanks again for these assignments! I’d never heard of conceptual photography. It’s really piqued my interest! 😁👍
The first second I thought I was in a Peter McKinnon video
This is what you call a Meme. 😀
Valuable knowledge Ted, and thank you so much for sharing.
Invaluable.
Nice video. I really enjoyed thinking and doing my photo sequence. I’ll be doing more. Thanks for the inspiration
Nice idea. I did something like this recently using eggs with eyes. Was a lot of fun 😀
Is there a limit to how much motion blur can be in a Photo?
do you do a lot of editing to your photos afterwards? i love you’re channel by the way, i’m learning so much!
Are you still actively doing these challenges ?
On wu ow’s piece i disagree with your critique. I think the fact the baby is directly vertical to the picture frame of the great grandfather is like a smack in the face juxtiposition of birth and mortality. i feel it brings more power to the sequence over all, but these are just my thoughts 🙂 i love your channel!!!!
💛
So cool! Many thanks!
Speak slowly.
I thought that last example was the processes of birth and death… seems more likely… otherwise 4 pictures would have sufficed
Try throwing a pair of bright red long johns in with a load of T shirts, and getting a dozen or so pink T shirts.
Is this loss
The flower should have ate the cat😉👍 …as petals of cat float off on the wind…😀😸😸😸😼😼
And for a sequel..
A singing cat wearing a top hat on a red chair, spotlit on a stage, tasting a lemon in four shots or less as Duane Michals photographs them and Joel Grey directs ( "what use is sitting alone in your room?…" )
Good day. How do I submit my photos? Thanks.
To me, the work of Duane Michals(specifically his sequential images) only works because it’s the work of Duane Michals. Even after that, it comes down to taste; it tells a story; but there’s not much that makes me care about that photo sequence.
also, in regards to the lemon photo sequence, is it really that there’s too many images, or that no one really cares, because most people know what it’s like to taste a lemon? Hell, there’s a massive amount of youtube videos of babies tasting lemons. It’s no longer democratization of images, but experiences as well, just about any emotion/experience you want to see, will likely be on youtube, with a simple search.
Hi, nice video, but I don’t know if "conceptual photography" is a good term, as it makes a confusion with CONCEPTUAL ART …
Talking without break
This is such a simple and useful advice on how to develop your ideas… nice.
I like your videos… very informative.
Bested muted and set to music….
Isolate your eyeballs
👁👁
Lol my wife wants your pic of the cat
I agree with your composition "nit picking" of the red chair set once you said it, but before I thought it was intentional for the balance of weight in the whole. Really interesting how not having that could create a rise and fall verses a sense of balance. Love these little things to think about that could potentially completely change the way some people perceive it.
Really Helpful

have you seen the work of chema madoz? if not, check him out, his photography is very related to what your are explaining. great video by the way!
thanks a lot for you hard work this videos help me, felt like we went together the supermarket, sorry for my writing .
thanks ted.
How did you shoot on a white background and come out with black background images? I’m sorry if that’s a really dumb question, but was it just done in post? Or am I missing something? If someone could please explain this to me lol. LOVE your work, Ted!!!
I would like to hear your opinion about my project. It might be a great example of conceptual photography. Check out the Instagram for @ride.n.shoot
Hi Ted. Want to start of by saying "Thanks". Your videos are great. The assignments get us to think about the image we want and not just shoot a bunch and pick out the lucky one that seems reasonable.
One question – for the assignment of Sequences – is it OK to Photoshop – I mean how else could we do double exposures? Not all cameras have this facility.
This is a motivational episode with the examples you showed. Thanks.
I got the idea that it’s the same person in the red chair over a lifetime. Three people & the photograph have to be used to shorten the time span. There is enough family resemblance for the single person concept to work.
Interesting concept (teehee), I haven’t actually seen photography done this way before.
really very useful information Ted. Thank you also for adding your own thought process and the illustration.
I really admired Duane Michals who I met at one of his commercial shoots in NYC in 1978. A lot if his inspiration came from Magritte, the famous surrealist painter. Also Michals and Andy Warhol hung out quite a bit and knew each other from their early art director days.
Awesome! thanks for the knowledge.
cool
anyone here also likes to watch photography videos just to learn how to enjoy well photos that you see? I’m very fan of photography but I don’t have much resources and ideas for making such good photos, then I like watching these videos so when I look at some great pictures I get to visualize all the theory and ideas that came up to the artist when making the work
anyway, awesome channel, I love it, great job!!
what you talking about ? it was great ! I like it!
Wow
So what was the concept for your yellow flower sequence?
I’m so sorry i’m 7 months late for this assignment, would’ve be enjoyable to participate 🙂
Excellent, intelligible, coherent. So rare on YouTube.
It´s such great video about conceptual pics.
thanks a lot, mate.
I think the photo sequence in that red chair is a life cycle..
(I could be wrong, but that’s just my perception…from nothing to nothing…)
Great Video Ted!
