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 KZbin.
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!

Hell of a way to kick off this series, Ted! Excited for the next episode!

[@gabrielbacca381]

This is so great... The way he explained the reasoning behind the body of work included in 'City of Shadows' one can see that it is really a long process ... And its connection with Shostakovic's musical piece was sublime... what a great artist. Thanks for making this.

[@davidrothschild8913]

Thank you to all those that contributed and thank you Ted. This is truly a gift that should not be taken for granted. As a passionate photographer "inspiration" is truly a blessing and seeing and hearing another artists' process, especially as genuine and moving as Alexey Titarenko is a rare treat.

[@rogueguineapig]

Ted you've absolutely out done yourself...this is outstanding sir! His work and message are incredible...very powerful.

[@ellenhuber2467]

2 STANDING OVATIONS!! ALEXEY'S ability to pull the emotion from his heart then thru the eye of his lens, & turn it into an emotional photo is ABSOLUTELY MAGICAL! In today's world of instant gratification this is a photographer who has an incredible amount of patience. Not only in creating his shots but also in the darkroom. I applaud him profusely for the countless hours he has spent in creating beautiful works of art! TED you have brought us a young old school photographer, you rise to the occasion repeatedly! The combination of a Russian photographer & Russian composer further brought me into Alexey's work, I felt like I was walking on those streets. The transition from scene to scene was flawless. The voices were crisp & clear with just enough music. This is by far one of my favorite ARTIST SERIES videos you have compiled because I feel you really captured the soul of the artist. Thank you to you and your team for all your hard work & the time you put into these videos.

[@alexanderovodenko1386]

One of my favorite photographers. Thanks for featuring his work. Having a small insight into what these photographers think and do is so valuable -- nothing else compares. Thanks, Ted. I can't wait for the next short film.

[@somsuvramukherjee]

Amazing first episode of the Artist Series.... Alexey Titarenko is one of my favourite photographers... eagerly waiting for the next episode. Thank you Ted.

[@prashantkhapane]

Ted - For last month or so I'm going through the content like a "kid in the candy store". Hats off. And big thanks.

[@BurningtunaDC]

Ted, there is nothing that I can say which has not already been said. You are doing important work. Through your blood, sweat, and tears you are educating many, many people. Thanks for doing what you do.

[@BobACNJ]

The shooting, editing and music were extremely well done. One of your best efforts. And all that goodness coupled with Mr. Titarenko's lovely images, too.... Standing Ovation

[@lifewithoutpanic]

This is amazing! I appreciate your love for the art and teaching others about it! I love your passion. Looking forward to the next one!

[@edma22]

Just watched this and the second episode. Blown away by the depth you manage to achieve in such a digestible format. I'd expected amazing work from this channel but you've really managed to surpass yourself! Can't wait for Sunday...

[@mahoutie]

Nicely done Sir! Looking forward to the rest of the series.

[@rejeannantel1185]

Quality Images, great soundtracks, and above all an intimate introspection with the artist, Alexey Titarenko. I am very fond of his work and I find it interesting that he keeps pushing himself towards new avenues. Too many photographers find a style and stick with it, taking no risk and thus fleeing new ventures. I like how his musicality intervenes with his visual concept. A creative mind! It was quite appropriate to see him in the darkroom working on prints. He chooses the hard way but gets amazing results. Score 10 on 10. Nice going Ted! The Artist series has begun and it’s above my expectation.

[@cillyede]

Great! Thank you very much for posting. Hubert

what a wonderful Episode, thank you Ted!

[@EarlofGray]

Ted, I really enjoyed your original film about Alexey Titarenko, and subsequently bought his book, great work. This film has a lot of depth, and to pair it with the music of Shostakovich is superb. Really well done.

[@PepaoPB]

Can't take my eyes off the screen. Brilliant material.

[@adamtruelove9684]

[@dennismeenefotografie4661]

Fantastic work, Ted. I really enjoyed the insights from Alexey Titarenko, an amazing artist. You did a great job on combining the footage with the fitting music. Already looking forward to the next episode. :)

[@GaleriaPuntoCiego]

MR. TITARENKO IS REALLY A BIG ARTIST. I THINK PUTTING, THE MUSIC OF SHOSTAKOVICH, INTO B/W IMAGES IS A BIG INTELLECTUAL EFFORT. ALL THE BEST FROM SPAIN. NANO.

[@soundphoto9173]

Just beautiful!!!

[@ronshatzki6090]

Ted a little of a late starter in video and still photography. Opening a forgotten passion in me. Thanks Ted

[@agafonovalexandr2902]

Ted, thank you so much for film about Alexey and his outstanding work. One of moments ,when you understand how small and amazing the world is. I was lucky to get to know about analogue process and print photographs in darkroom Alexey used to work during some time, in St.Petersburg.It was at one of the student campus, place had a good spirit- we worked with friends and were meeting another students,interested in analogue photography. Recall how we were discussing his works and wondering where Titarenko is now and what he is focused on. Once we found some test prints, later on my friend had chance to meet Alexey during one of photographer's short visit back in St.Pete. City still is both poetic and really darkside at same time.Some years later, I met my another friend's friend ,who moved to Germany, she turned out to take classes of photography in same group with Alexey. World sometimes is size of match box.

[@trevorpinnocky]

Some really beautiful work. And nice choice in Shostakovich. He's a uniquely Russian sound in music. my personal favorite.

[@boska-ja]
