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 RU-vid.
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!

I realize I'm kinda randomly asking but do anyone know a good website to stream new series online ?

@darielhayes5547 3 года назад

@Donovan Atticus I use FlixZone. You can find it on google :)

Having a background in painting, I’m already familiar to using a ‘sketchbook’ in a ‘notebook’ fashion. It has followed me through my writings and my photography. You’re right when you mention the problems we have trying to keep it as clean as possible. This happens every time I buy a new notebook (and so I have learned to buy the cheap ones). It has to get ‘messy’. What’s funny is that studies confirmed that people who are less organized (more messy) are both more creative and more productive. This may seem contradictory but it’s actually true. So the more ‘messy’ your journal is, the more ideas (and references) you put down. Thus you become more creative, making you more aware of what you want and expect, which also makes you more productive (efficient). As for Tumblr, I already have an account but never used it to publish any work. I used it primary as a reference tool to look at contents of past (and recent) masters of photography. It is that media which helped me build a library of references from which I get inspired. Other social media platforms rarely expose works of past masters (with a few exceptions like Pinterest) Thanks Ted for this wonderful presentation. Now we get the idea of where WE are going.

I've bought the wreck this journal as I have major issues with messing up books. A little concerned that every post about it but yours is from a teenage girl though. I'm a 34 year old, 6'3", bearded, Aussie bloke and fear my reputation will be as tarnished as the journal by the end.

@jamestheredd 7 лет назад

I think this video is a great example of how it is always important to be open minded about Your creative process. We forget that it is perfectly okay to throw metaphorical or physical paint on the walls. Lovely thoughtful video as always!

@tangiblespace 7 лет назад

I ain't mad at ya, Ted. You da man. Can't wait to start this party!

@SophieCouillardDuval 7 лет назад

Ohh! I'm excited and a little scared to take on this project because I'm a afraid of failing. But I guess you can't fail when you're having fun, right? This is such a wonderful idea, I hope I'll be assiduous

@theartofphotography 7 лет назад

+Sophie Couillard-Duval don't be afraid of falling. We all pick each other back up.

@phyllobolus 7 лет назад

The sketchbook for photography is a great think. Thank you for sharing it. I started one and I already love it.

@Alex-jf2dp 7 лет назад

I think it's kind of funny how people are getting mad over the platform , you provide so much value it shouldn't matter 😅

@PaulGriffiths 7 лет назад

Hi Ted I've been out of the loop recently - closing up an all as you know (ref day to day job)... But just to say so pleased to see you sharing this video out to the community.. Its such a great idea which I have been doing for sometime creating little A5 books with prints of assignments and projects... (using my iPhone or Fuji cameras) - The thing that I have found rather then post it on a blog it as helped me to get to know my printer really well - So this idea is working for me on two fronts - Photo ideas and printing... after all doing assignments like this is effectively "improving your photography by continued practice!" Thanks again...

@zanerichards8348 2 года назад

yes! push and play with images. this is a great video, and plays with ideas and concepts that my art professor taught me. there is freedom in art.

@Saibal82 7 лет назад

Rather than hating you I love you for the subjects you picks up. This is very important for a longterm project. This sketchbook helps to improve the skills and thought process. The great master of my land, Satyajit Ray, the film maker who got Oskar for his lifetime work, use to make his screen play with lot of elaborate sketches. He use to visualize where camera will be placed, what would be the shot, mid, long or a closeups. How camera will pan etc etc. A Bengali vernacular magazine called 'Ekkhon' use to publish it. My father suggested me to practice this exercise when I was toddling with camera. I think all the masters they practice making sketch book to record their thoughts. Love to see more this kind of lessons. Thank you Ted.

@craigbonnyman9593 7 лет назад

I'm doing a study on the speciality coffee shop I work at with an OM2-n I just bought. Absolutely loving getting into film photography.

@wfm5121954 7 лет назад

I enjoyed looking at your journals in the other video. I should have placed my comment in that particular post. It is just that you had been describing the type of journal to use and I was thinking about what you said. I am still thinking about it. I thought it looked very professional. It looked like a Moleskine. I have used several of those for art journalling. They are intimidating. I thought your journal was the perfect size for the purposes you were using it for. If it inspires you then you are working with the right journal. I'm feeling like trying this with photos that I have already made. Things do look different depending on where and how you view them. I took a travel course in photography in 2004. I loved every photo I took. At some point, I realized I was wasting my money on having them made into prints. We were working with slides. It was Holland and springtime. I decided to close the "book", mentally, on that trip and revisit it at a later date. Well.....it did not get much better. In fact, I could see very few photos that I could say that I loved. I am always the first one to fall in love with my photo. It was a lesson. The lesson is that what I experienced would happen again and maybe over and over. It did'nt matter though. I still liked taking photos. It's ok if they were not as great as I might have thought they would be. Eventually, something about taking photographs would improve. Will improve. Maybe it will be my life. Whatever it is I know that it will be beneficial.

@nickd7050 7 лет назад

Ted, thanks for organising this. I'd lost my motivation to shoot in the past couple of months, and having someone throw ideas at me - particularly someone as enthusiastic as yourself - gives me hope. For what it's worth, I've got some old school workbooks that I've barely used which should do the job. I'll probably just set the printer settings to draft and use scrap paper (since ink ain't cheap!) and sticky tape.

@thememoryguardians 7 лет назад

Shoot: Studio Sessions by Peter Brew-Bevan is the best photography book I have ever seen. I can't even describe how good it is - there are 3 types of papers in the book and it is huge. It's expensive but worth every dollar.

@Fie.Franciska 7 лет назад

I went to højskole for 6 months this spring with photography as my mainsubject and we got a journal book from out teacher when we started and I filled mine out through these 6 months and I love it. It is messy it is full of weird things that I thought of and used through the assignments we got and it amazing. After school I bought one myself and are filling that as we speak :)

@garryclarkson7224 3 года назад

This is such great teaching and pedagogy. I have those books and this is the best way to learn.

@samiulalam1509 7 лет назад

I would love to follow along on this project but I will be shooting mainly on film. What will the pace be like? Will I need to develop my rolls as often as once a week? I just got my first camera and then I found this channel. Great stuff on here. Happy to be here right on time for this project!

@JesusIsReal116 7 лет назад

I really love your channel man. It challenges me as a creative and just motivates me. I appreciate you! God Bless You!!!

@JamesDuguid 7 лет назад

Thanks Ted, sketchbook makes more sense now! Its funny what people get in a dizzy about though - I have tumblr already and it's super simple to use so a good suggestion (not an order!) I think. Cheers!

@brunopcan 7 лет назад

wow that is inspiring! I keep a notebook with my darkroom printing notes, but I think it's a great idea to go one step further and add the contacts, notes and ideas there, very nice :)

@RicardoRMedina 7 лет назад

I love your bookcase, very organized, very interesting way to explore the possibilities that one single image can provide, thanks!

@clarkbarrow6750 2 года назад

I know it has been a few years, but I really like the content. Thanks. Well done.

@sbai4319 7 лет назад

These are really important. I have several for different purposes. There is my ideas folio, my Lightroom notes /techniques, my Photoshop techniques manual. My favorite photographic book has transparencies and scrawled notes from the photographer himself (fantastic - it really makes to book!).

@nicolelangrova4813 6 лет назад

The Czech Republic is proud of Koudelka. This general mood of our country is (thanks to him) seenable. For exaple the Gypsies are interesting in this way. (btw thanks for the video)

@malcolmnzable 7 лет назад

Yup, were good! I've just stuck all the tech stuff like which platform, which senor and which lens...into the bottom draw and got my paper journal! Looking forward to the experience...as always, love you work Ted!

@LuisArcadioDeJesus 7 лет назад

Inspired to proceed with my sketchbook from this video. I am intrigued by Kouldeka's cropping experimentation against the backdrop of photographers who view this as a taboo --get it right the first time, they say. I understand, but wow. I am thinking of kicking off my sketch book with a Midori passport size notebooks; I have some Cansons sitting around too. Thanks for the insight into what others have done. I was unaware of this practice and I have been feeling the need to get my stuff printed especially for use on the street when I approach people. I get the sense this will help me explain what I do as well.

Starting my sketchbook today. I'm really excited about it.

@curiouslizard 7 лет назад

I absolutely adore the music in your videos

@mr_mr 7 лет назад

Great follow up and great assignment. Thanks Ted! Random side note 4:04 "sorry this book is hard to manage". I feel the same about all horizontal format books. I get that the format mirrors the aspect of some images but it's bad interaction design IMHO to make books like this.

@m1n7b 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for the clarification on the whole Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, thing. Because I was kinda messing up with not knowing where to put the photos. As Paul Harvey would say: "Now you know the rest of the story."

@LesWilcockson 7 лет назад

Thanks for this Ted. This is so what I needed! You posted this at exactly the right time for me as I continue to wrestle with new ways to express myself. After watching this video I immediately ordered 'Photographers Sketchbooks' and 'Wreck this Journal'....time to get busy!

@xtianfotos9975 27 дней назад

great video as always! Thanks for that!

@queencrimsonqueencrimson 7 лет назад

I could really relate with you when you're talking about your moleskin. Two years ago, I decided to buy 2 very pretty and expensive themed notebooks: one for my travels and one for photography. The idea was to use the travel one as a diary for my two month trip to Europe and the photography one as a sketchbook. I took both with me... NEVER USED THEM. I ended up buying a cheapo notebook and writing everything down in there really messy, telling myself I would then transcribe it to the ones I originally bought. Needless is to say, that never happened haha.

@lisaborgiani 4 года назад

that moment you wake up in the middle of the night ( Germany ) just to take a shit and you end up throwing crayons on your sketchbook :) Thank you for this awesome video

@edwardmurray6905 7 лет назад

that photographers sketch book looks cool.

@jamiemorrison4086 7 лет назад

I'm all in Ted. Hopefully it will bring all I have learned from the Art of Photography into play. Hopefully I'll stick with it.

@csponge1 7 лет назад

Great topic and video, Ted! This is a topic an old art instructor discussed thoroughly with us years ago; advanced drawing course. I don't know why I didn't consider it for photography. Starting one today!

@curtislevine2064 7 лет назад

Whew! Clarity. And with it, focus + freedom. Thanks for the quick work, Ted. It is indeed a privilege to be a Subscriber to your vlog.

@lensnation2548 7 лет назад

Ted, I signed up for tumblr yesterday as per your suggestion. I don't see what the big deal is against tumblr for showcasing photography. An added plus is that it's free! I intend to use blurb for my sketchbook projects. Of course that may run into a lot of money for a simple sketchbook.

@streetgato9697 7 лет назад

This could be useful for photographers but there's no need to spend 'a lot' of money on it. Graphic designers and illustrators use this process on a daily basis without much fanfare... then throw all the junk away once a project is done...

@andres-d933 7 лет назад

I'm ready to go! Can't wait to start this

@Cubannerd 7 лет назад

I've done sketchbooks for my design projects so this kinda makes sense.

@cosmickelly2999 7 лет назад

you truly inspire me and make me want to work harder. a sincere thank you is in order

@77darkghost77 7 лет назад

As usual interesting ideas ! I already have a "sketch book" but I use it to note down stuff about photography technique. Snippets from online tutorials, magazines etc., notes for videos I've seen, little Photoshop (lightroom etc. you name it!) tips about new way of doing things, technical stuff about lenses etc. I will now start a new one based on your suggestions ! I'm just worried I'll need something that can keep prints glued in it without falling apart or loosing all my prints on the go... (Please forgive my english mistakes, I'm doing my best but I'm writing from Italy!)

@aribh4929 7 лет назад

@widsof7862 5 лет назад

Great examples, sadly the Koudelka book is hard to source in the UK, managed to get the Photography Sketchbook though.

@endevorarya 2 года назад

wonderful... will surely do it..

@gastonseijas2677 7 лет назад

Definitely making myself a sketchbook! Thanks Ted

@choschiba 7 лет назад

Sounds interesting. I could do a crossover between my different hobbies lampworking, photography and jewelry making. Can't draw and sketch at all. But maybe training myself using that "Wreck this Journal" would help. 😉

@tobroken1965 7 лет назад

I always thought (however havent done it) that a sketch-book could also be an idea book, for instance, flipping through a magazine at the doctors office and you see an image or an add or whatever that sparks your interest so you tear it out (no shame, its a three year old magazine anyway) and tape it in your book with some notes on how to change it.

@blairfountain7056 7 лет назад

I've been excited about this since you first announced it. Can't wait to get started!

@sigrunhodne8972 7 лет назад

@russellselburg7824 7 лет назад

Would it be helpful to have a separate sketchbook for the photo assignments or could I include the sketchbook I already have?

@mafe123ish 7 лет назад

I love sketchbooks! Every time I get the chance I buy a new one and can't wait to get my hands on it. Though, I'd never thought on putting pictures on them... I guess I'm going to start printing my photographs to create a new messy journal :) I'm so glad I found this channel, keep it up Ted :)

@77darkghost77 7 лет назад

Ruba galline: Italiano anche tu ? Ciao ! Ivan : you can "scan" your prints with your smartphone...if it has a decent camera it can easily do the job (there are good apps on iphone, I think for Android as well).

@rejeannantel1185 7 лет назад

I would like to share Eric Kim's review of one of the book you showcase here: “Photographers’ Sketchbooks” by Stephen McLaren and Bryan Formhals. He has added his own personal experience with sketchbooks which I find quite useful. It maybe the starting point to creating yours. Here's the link erickimphotography.com/blog/2014/11/14/lessons-ive-learned-photographers-sketchbooks/

@baconsbites 7 лет назад

Thank you for your explanation. Simple is perfect. Geeze now I have to go back and delete my new unused tumblr account...LOL J/K! Cant wait to get started!

@user-ss6zt2mo1l 6 лет назад

Great Video. I like the lit camera shelves. Why on Earth 🌏 would we be upset with you. Not happening 😊

@dracphelan 7 лет назад

I've had an idea. I'm going to use my smartphone for my sketchbook. I always have it with me. My phone has a stylus, so I can draw on it. And, I can easily share out whatever I've done to my PC at home.

@Absimilard 7 лет назад

The idea of a sketchbook is fabolous. From trying to write in a daily journal I know about the problems with the "pristine, expensive" notebook and messing up. I will give the "wreck this journal" a try. A little addition I found: a video about Frank Ockenfels and in there you see how he uses his notebooks and how dear they are to him www.camerabag.tv/frankockenfels/ Thanks for the great work Ted!

@cakofuentes 7 лет назад

i don't know if it's unrelated, but i want to print my photos to paste in the sketchbook, do you recommend anything cheap/good (if that exists) to print photos on my own? :D great project btw, im all in with this =)

@trope584 7 лет назад

I use low price $30-40 HP inkjet. 8x10's mounted on foam board with double mat. Make notes under mat. Remove print when done and reuse.

@gastonseijas2677 7 лет назад

with a printer...

@mr_mr 7 лет назад

These are actually really cool and the prints look pretty good. www.amazon.com/Canon-Wireless-Portable-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B00HK8V4NC/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1476848870&sr=8-4&keywords=selphy+printer Also just go to Kinkos and do them there. I think you'll be surprised. Those are low end options

@mr_mr 7 лет назад

Also maybe check out online printing from Adorama. I think they have pretty reasonable rates and their higher end stuff looks pretty good.

@andres-d933 7 лет назад

Local pharmacies like walgreen and cvs, you can upload your images to get printed then just go pick them up. Walmart has a self printing service as well.
