Arnold Newman

Arnold Newman is one of my biggest influences as a photographer and I believe he is one of the greatest photographers of the 20th century.

So come check it out! If you’re a fan of DigitalRev, Fro Knows Photo (Jared Polin), Matt Grainger (That Nikon Guy) or Tony Northrup - you’ll love The Art of Photography. I make video’s giving you a deeper dive into photography techniques, composition and history to compliment the other channels you love to watch.

Arnold Newman, is a great photographer. I love his quote “a portrait is a form of a biography. Its purpose is to inform now and to record for history”

[@theartofphotography]

Nicely put!

[@musicciti8333]

Awesome

[@Danploof]

I'm really enjoying these artist stories! Thank you!

[@jasoncolquhoun5339]

Thanks for sharing Ted. As always...great work.

[@diragusa]

One of the best ones yet, Arnold is a huge inspiration to my work. Glad you took the time to talk about him.

[@martinbreslow1401]

This is now my favorite KZbin video. I owned this book of his photos so I loved your presentation and remembrances.

[@oneilphotostudios]

I love the new way you are doing these episodes! Such great work Ted. I have been watching and listening to you for 6 years I think??? (can't remember) I first found you on a podcast in the apple app store years ago. Watching you grow on the channel and see you now having over 60,000 subscribers is crazy! I was one of the subscribers when you were at I think 9,000. lol. Thanks again Ted. Keep up the great work. I learn a lot.

[@gillescoutlee2379]

What a remarkable episode...I'm quite happy to have discovered The Art of Photography!

[@nick2var]

Best videos ever....this is the way a video about photography should be done!!!Excellent work for one more time!!

[@endnami]

this is probably one of my favorite episodes today. but I think it's because of the love that you have for this man and his work. I knew about b-flat but flipping through the book on video has sparked an interest in me and studying his work. thank you so much

[@jackfeighery7961]

Another great show Ted , thanks for all the knowledge

[@RezaMolavi]

Ted, Thank you for taking the time to share your experiences and your art of photography thoughts with me. I can finally be at lectures that I truly love and see the thought behind the photos. We are so overwhelmed with techniques and equipment these days that the art gets forgotten. Your channel is what I have been craving for a long time and the type information and thoughts you have been sharing are quenching my thirst. I appreciate your efforts and thank you for hours of enjoyment through your thoughts. Looking forward to your episodes.

[@theartofphotography]

Reza Molavi Thanks!

[@maxdmachy]

Awesome how you relate Newman's work, the models and your personal experience as a photographer. Particularly impressive, his last photo!

[@aideecepeda4217]

I always look forward to your videos! Wonderful job as always! Thank you for proving such quality videos. The information you share is invaluable and greatly appreciated!

[@michaelfaraday5972]

Outstanding show, first class, thank you so much for sharing this work of a great artist and his subjects.

[@xtremepenguin]

Another fantastic episode! Thank you

[@UsedProfessionalStrobes]

Thanks Ted, once again making it accessible.

[@Faddyfeme]

very powerful video! thanks! I enjoy all the channel but this episode is awesome!

[@AlborzA]

You do a great job, a lot of details, very well done and there are tons of content on your channel. Thank you very much for that.

[@Bobby_sprinkles]

Can't believe I didn't know Newman's work until subscribing to you. Thank you for the knowledge!

[@roderickwho1983]

Wonderful documentary rounded off with a personal vignette. Thanks.

[@banpreso]

thanks for these videos, i've learned a lot

[@GeraldMoncrief]

I love learning about photographers I didn't know anything about before. Just added Alfred Newman to my list of favorites.

[@justcallmesando]

This video is all about INSPIRATION. Thanks for sharing Ted.

[@bexserver]

One of my favourite videos yet. Arnold's photos have a feel that they were quick snaps with very little pre planning, but as you say everything is very deliberate and planned. Great photos. The ones of Warhol are also great pieces of art, very inspiring.

[@masterkief628]

I love how you explained his style, amazing!

[@prehistoricpig]

Wonderful show, I enjoyed this episode a lot!

[@Kleinbiology]

Newman was a master. Not only of light but of psychology. Thank you so much for this episode Ted, the best ever.

[@anonymousonez]

Ted, I love your videos! Thank you!!!

[@holgerslaghuis9496]

Great show. Thank you very much!

[@kriztopher8617]

very inspirational series! I love the albums you present and your work in general! would be awesome to see mobile photo taken by Greg in the hospital.. all the best! Kriz

[@itsjohnthomas]

I enjoy learning about photographers like these. Keep up the great work. It gives me more insight into growing as a photographer myself (I wish I learned about some of this at university)...

[@mascmedia_]

Thankyou for the video, Ted! I'm not familiar with the work of Arnold Newman, but I will definitely be looking into his work more, and possibly trying to source my own copy of the book you have there. Fantastic video!

[@JamesSmith-wy7zk]

A wonderful presentation. Thank you

[@mylifeswork101]

Thank you for this well put together summary Newman's work! I was introduced to Arnold Newman's work way back in Art College. I am a big fan of after camera cropping and environmental portraiture. Your videos are very informative and inspiring! Thank you.

[@DanielRobbinsMedia]

What a legend. Great insight, Ted. Thanks for this.

[@ELECTECHNUT]

Love your show Ted! I always enjoy finding out that yet another highly regarded photographer made a lot of throw-away photos. If I ever take portrait photos, the Picasso cropping will certainly come to mind. :)

[@ramiroj74]

Great video. I like your way of presenting photography and photographers. Keep going.

[@prosenjitpoddar4941]

Nicely described thanks.

[@stephenshadrach2949]

love his work and had the pleasure of listening to him talk at Pasadena Art Center. I also almost always carry my camera around and asked him if i could photograph him .. he was very generous and so i was able to take a few portraits of him :) what a great memory.. thanks for this video

[@jimwlouavl]

I enjoy your bios of influential photographers and theory. Too few of us take the time to study photography’s history. Thanks for doing this.

[@DrunkDelilahBrewery]

Another great show Ted.

[@zippywalker6406]

What an awesome and moving story about his last shot of your friend Greg.

[@taylortreadgold4810]

Beautiful episode!

[@RobCastro]

One of my fave photographers. Thanks for this video.

[@kedrickwalker1084]

Amazing video, one that I'll continue to come back and reference whenver I need a guide. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and giving us a breakdown of Arnold Newman's photography techniques. A few months ago I was introduced to his work but never took the time to really deep dive to study and appreciate. It wasn't until last week when I finally checked out the book above from my local library that I truly sat in awe, page after page, admiring the different portriats Newman took. I'm glad I sat down and watched your video today because after you said Newman's photography was environmental portraiture everything clicked, very much an ah-ha moment for me. Thank you so much for this.

[@camiloville]

fantastic, inspiring

[@davidwheeler9222]

I am such a big fan of your videos Ted, I came across you a couple of months ago and have been fascinated by your work. Many of the photographers you are heavily connected with have been some of my all time favourites. Have you ever considered doing a video on the work of Rodney Smith? Rodney and Arnold Newman are two of my very favourites. Keep up the wonderful work, many thanks, Dave

[@victordesabata]

Definitely one of the best videos of the show.

[@ChristianLawrence]

Great video. The piano portrait is just pure class.

[@brunopcan]

Awesome video, I didn't know about Arnold Newman's work apart from the Stravinsky picture! Thank you so much of the information and the inspiration :)

[@julesnoelsmith]

another great episode!

[@gavinredeemed3519]

Great video. Thanks.

[@JoseRozon]

I absolutely learn more about photography with your channel than any other - More photography and less cameras - Thank you.

[@charlesmascari8197]

Thank you Ted. Arnold Newman and Fan Ho are two of the biggest influences in my own work obviously for different reasons.

[@JoshGilley]

great work I love your channel and if I may ask how did you break into the industry I am an aspiring photographer myself and trying to get my break. thank you for anything you could provide

[@stevenxue1]

Great episode!

[@stephenjurisic2381]

I just went to see his show at the AGO here in Toronto. Wow. The photography as you said is timeless and spectacular.

[@donnawilliams6810]

extremely informative. very well done.

[@janromo9753]

Great! Thanks

[@richardsimms251]

A great review. Again. Thank you. RS. Canada

[@tonypatterson881]

Fantastic video. I was able to meet Arnold Newman and spend some time with him. The stories he told were absolutely mesmerizing. Very kind soul.

[@LibanPhotography]

I love the piano shot. So perfect.

[@PeterEvansPeteTakesPictures]

Hi Ted, I'm a latecomer to your channel but I have to say I'm really enjoying what your creating here. I was beginning to despair of KZbin for insights into the great photographers and the movements that have shaped the photographic world, and then I stumbled across your excellent series. I knew Newman from the Krupp portrait (a studied portrait-of-evil which makes a worthy companion to Eisenstaedt's Goebbel's snatched candid-of-evil moment) and his Stravinsky portrait, but little of his other work. I'm now placing an order on the book. I especially enjoy how you deliver your talks straight up with no fancy digressions, but still allow your enthusiasm to shine through. It's to the point and very compelling. Oh, one thing though - you might want to consider a cushion or book holder to angle your photo-books - can't be comfortable on the hand forever tilting them against the glare!

[@embassyoftoysoldier]

nice episode, good analysis of the work of Arnold Newman, thank you! off the topic, maybe try some presentations on less known but also good photographers (maybe like the ones you mentioned already) !

[@krishnansrinivasan830]

Awesome & Thanks :)

[@thethirdman225]

Great episode. That Stravinsky portrait has a similar effect on me.

[@maxxweber4336]

Wonderful

[@joemoss8106]

I know I am a day late and a dollar short with commenting on this post but Newman is my top influence. I met him at a PPA convention and he was there signing copies of the book you are showcasing. I was nervous to even approach him that day but I got the courage and walked up when no one was around. I was floored by his kindness and interest in me. I was coming off a personal tragedy and somehow the conversation turned to it. After speaking with him what felt like an hour (probably 10 minutes) he signed my book and I thanked him and floated away. Later, n my hotel room, I opened up the book to view his signature and saw he had written a very personalized note referencing the personal tragedy we had discussed. You could offer me $5 million for my signed copy of his book and I would laugh you out of the room. He made a difference.

[@DaleSteadman]

2:23 I totally agree the B Flat image is brilliant, hard to believe that it was rejected by Harper's Bazaar kind of shows you that we was way ahead of his time.

[@IamTheOneThatLivesHereNow]

Agreed! I found it odd that it was not mentioned that the way Stravinsky is posed is a replication on the entire image. His face= the grey rectangle. His hand, wrist and exposed shirt = white wall meeting the grey. His bent arm and elbow= the open piano. Anyone else see this?

[@adamm4926]

Thanks KZbin for recommending this video. Thanks Ted for your hard work. Must be time for a new artist :)

[@johnLee-bb2do]

I am finding these videos two years late:). Great videos Ted.

[@Arzenteart]

Working with this....Thanks for posting...J

[@zippywalker6406]

The last portrait is an awesome story.

[@dennisrkb]

Ted your series on artists (of the past) is incredible! How about tackling more contemporary artists though? Would love your analysis of Alan Schaller for example..

[@BrianAndersonPhotography]

Have you thought about doing something on Gregory Heisler? He work for him for almost a year before he went on to become a hugely successful photographer :)

[@the_abraham_project]

Great hint towards arnild newman according environmental portraits. I suddenly ordered a book of him.

[@AuthenticSound]

A wonderful episode, Ted. Looking at the work of Newman, I had to think on Stieglitz on one side, and Gregory Heisler on the other. It reminded me much on Heisler's work actually, he would be great on the show too.

[@rsmallfield]

Thanks! (Did you know that the Mondrian photo is flipped?)

[@samban]

I especially love the ones where you use the actual books rather than Pinterest etc. :)

[@TheBiggervern]

Sublime

[@madcat2709]

Ted, epic epsiode :D

[@DavidMeyerPhoto]

That's a really great book, I love his photos. I learned myself not to crop in post or at least keep it to minimum when I was using 20D. If I were too liberal, there wouldn't be much of a photo left for printing. But it must have been great to have so much of the negative that you can have the second take on the composition.

[@CurlyHairArtistry]

Great video - I used to have that book and hate that I gave it up.

[@AlbertoFigueroaArquitectura]

Ted, In case you don´t kow him, check out Rafael Navarro Garralaga. He blew my mind as a photographer with similar technique to Arnold Newman

[@JenniferM13]

One of the best!

[@davidanderssonlargueche904]

Great video Ted. I was wodndering, in the photo of the architect there is a large negative space. Did he get it like that by exposing in a certain way or by post-processing?

[@radmandudemo92]

Would love to hear your opinion on Trent Parke or Daidō Moriyama, keep up the great work!

[@pdx503]

In San Francisco, the Jewish Contemporary Art museum's main exhibit is on Arnold Newman. I just went this past Sunday. They have prints of most of the images in this video. Excellent timing!

[@macbookdieter]

Hey, that’s my birthday too!

[@mariadam9157]

- did you get the cell-phone one? (thanks for great video) /m/

[@luisboaventura22]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@backtoids]

Do Helmut Newton!!!!

[@Gefreite]

Riveting lecture!

[@danielbielecki9399]

super

[@moetheroe7338]

Please make a video on Peter Lindbergh....

[@ared18t]

I miss those glasses

[@rupal_hs]

I must say those minimal composed photographs are hard to compose. Pre shoot Creativity and imagination comes into play

[@Christopher-ld9yt]

Ansel's printing was "like a printing press" ? ? ? ? . . . Just because a photographer doesn't make collages, as Newman did, doesn't mean that his (or her) traditionally made silver-gelatin prints -even several copies of the same negative-- don't vary, what with all the burning, dodging and real -if tiny- differences in developing time, temperature and chemical strenth . It's just a question of degree, and I think you know that. Giving the benefit of the doubt, perhaps it was just a slightly clumsy way of expressing a thought which applies WAY more to digital prints! Other than that, thanks for an interesting video.

[@MrMatthewEx]

Have we ever seen Greg’s last photo of Newman?

[@myoung48281]

Do you see in the Picasso photo how his fingers create the wrinkle in his forehead.
