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, philosophy 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!

Just wanted to say, two years on this set of assignments is still incredibly useful to those of us trying to master our art a bit better. Thanks for making these Ted you have a rare gift for teaching and you’ve really made think about my photography and how l approach it.
Really enjoyed this — wonderful range of work presented, and the commentary is intelligent!
Where are your up-to-date assignments?
hi i have assingment about still life and i am stuck if u can help i will apprreciate it
Omg I’m taking history of photography right now and I got excited to hear daguerreotype and Talbot haha 🤣😅
We are in love with your channel. Super inspiring and you're a natural Ted. Keep up the fantastic work.
I love the history and ideas about art you share. This is amazing and I'm going to go think about how to interpret this and enter my first assignment. (I only found your channel a couple weeks ago).
Borut Peterlin, wet plate photographer, just posted what he calls his 'Ted Forbes' style video. It is great to see cool content makers reference other makers. His channel is borutpeterlin.
Why did you have You Tube censor a critical video?
What are the possibilities of still life without a macro lens? A lot of the examples you showed are quite macro-centric, as someone who does not own a macro, I'd be interested to hear what you'd have to say about still life with a normal lens, or even a wide for example.
Hi Ted …. just to let you know how much I enjoy your work, and I have just seen one of Ted Vieiras videos about his three favourite photography resource websites / channels.
You are one of his three, and he just loves your work.
Well done …..
I'm waiting in excitement for the xt2 review 😭
Thank you for a thought provoking video that gets the creative juices flowing!
This one is really challenging one!
Im really loving the photo assignments Ted! Still life's were something that took me some time to begin to appreciate. When I first approached photography I never quite understood what was so appealing about them. As I began on the journey of being captivated by light and shadow they really began to come alive to me. I can't remember if you have covered him in the past, I feel like you may have, but Chema Madoz really sticks out to me when I think of still life work. His tongue in cheek satirical still life work is truly inspiring! Also, Ralph Gibson's use of ordinary and found objects in his work, really started taking this idea to a new level for me as well. I just received a copy of his "Ex Libris" in the mail yesterday, and once again was blown away by his slivers of detail that he continues to capture so eloquently time and time again throughout his wonderful career.
Anyways, again wonderful work, and great inspiration!! I will see what I can do to participate in the photo assignment this round! Thank you
In french, « Still life » is called « Nature morte », which means « dead nature ». Il's an amazing translation because it's the complete opposit 😉
As the Earth barrels through the universe at over 300 km/s, is anything ever truly still? :p This should be a fun assignment, though, nonetheless.
Oh god damnit. You release the new assignment on THE DAY that I'm out shooting all day. Now I'll be late.
Yes, another photo assignment! I have been on edge waiting for the next assignment. I really enjoy the history you add to your videos. Looking forward to working on this assignment. Thanks for another great video.
What's up Ted and Jeeter! I'll be in Albania for this assignment and I already have some ideas 🙂 Maybe we'll vlog it too =^^=
Deadline for the assignment? Or, I missed it…not the deadline but it being mentioned in the video.
Hmm… so with Irving Penn's photo of the wooden blocks or the frozen vegetables, is the art in it the sculpture he put together or the photo of that sculpture? If I take a photo of someone else's sculpture then I don't think there is any question that the art is the sculpture and I just took a photo of it, but what is the relationship between the two if you are both the sculptor and the photographer?
This will be a very good assignment. Plenty of things to think about.
