THE PORTRAITS OF IRVING PENN

Irving Penn was one of the most important editorial photographers of the mid-twentieth century. Equally comfortable in both commercial work and fine art, Penn continued to develop and push the limits of portrait and still-life work until his death in 2009.

The Art of Photography
3100 Main St #135

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!

Irving Penn's photographs are unforgettable. Once you've seen them, they stay on your mind forever.

[@aziara369]

Been learning about Irving Penn and his works and this video truly gave me joy. I love how use words to describe him, his journey and his works. Thank you!!!

[@emipls]

stunning video. thank you for this!

[@Andrea.Assandri]

I bought Beyond Beauty some months ago and I think is one of the best books that I have. Thanks Ted, a video about Penn is fundamental

[@cartomancycarmen]

He’s my favorite photographer before I knew his name. I grew up on fashion magazines and loved his images the most

[@Gahanika]

Thank you! I have been so uninspired with my photography and I just got very excited about getting back into it. I love your channel, I always come away with something valuable.

[@merrick51]

Absolutely love this series

[@kevincasha8241]

Well done for all the work and passion you put into the Art of Photography. It really shows that yours is a labour of love. I think you are giving a great service to the understanding of photography.

[@TomEranze]

I really really like your voiceover. Man, you are so confident and frank about the art you are presenting and listening to you does not leave any place for doubt you would no fully love what you do. I could listen to you forever. Keep on, greetings from Germany.

[@bug470s]

Ted, thanks again for another artist series video. Almost all of my education about photography has actually come from KZbin and various things online. So these types of videos are deeply appreciated and you have given me numerous rabbit holes to delve into. Thanks again.

[@theartofphotography]

+bug470s wait till I get to THE artist series ;-)

[@gizmophoto3577]

Ted, We finally got to DC to see the exhibit before it closes this week. Hearing your perspectives before we left contributed greatly to our enjoyment, so thanks very much!

[@woutermissiaen4745]

I'm a teacher in photography and I have to teach about 4 o 5 photographers each week in an 1 hour lesson. It is impossible to get to know all these photographers well enough to be able to teach about them. Your videos are a great help because you put the photographers in a time perspective which I can use to connect everithing together. Great videos!

[@paulmadden1458]

Fascinating. Thank you. I really enjoyed your presentation. Love the idea of corner photos.

[@jeffijeff]

Great video Ted, you brought really interesting points of view.

[@matthieudandoy6268]

Watching this after being to his exhibition in Paris, thanks again for all your good videos Ted!

[@vicnicandlipstick]

I just did a research project on his work for class (History of Photography)! So cool to watch this video after learning so much about him. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@theartofphotography]

+vicnicandlipstick gulp! Hope I had my facts straight! ;-)

[@Chalito5]

Fantastic video Ted!

[@Macdog1717]

Amazing video as usual!!

[@snoworder]

Finally episode about photography, thanks.

[@freddylopez7536]

Loved loved Loved Irving Penn. love so much your knowledge of how he evolved through his career. You're amazing Mr Forbes. Thank you. F

[@tomphotog022]

Penn is definitely one of my all time favorite portrait photographers. Pretty much everything he did he killed whether it be group portraits, single portraits, etc. I saw his small trades show at the Getty right before he died and it blew me away. Even though the prints were only 8x10 the sheer number of them just really makes an impact on you. I believe it was two or three rooms full of prints. Anywho great episode.

[@cassvanessa5]

Love your videos!

[@MrEzPc]

beautiful, someone I knew of photo wise,, but not by name.. Learning everyday.. thank you.. Love your channel.

[@Barzyz01]

thanks for making this. Lots to learn from the Masters and history of photography.

[@ObserversEyes]

Saw this at the American Art Museum in DC last month; definitely worth seeing.

[@FelipeFelizardo]

Great photographer and great review about his work, thanks man!

[@DuncanRawlinson]

As always, thanks for the inspiration Ted!

[@davidrothschild8913]

Love that John Cage shot. The corner portraits are inspiring. I love the tension that they add to the shot both physically and psychologically. Also, the "metaphor" bird shots with women are visually stunning and really creative. I live near Washington DC so I believe there is some of this exhibition at the American Art museum now.

[@AlexHemarios]

Amazing video and so informative .......thank you so much!!!

[@jamesurzykowski4918]

Ted this is why I love watching your pod casts. You find these fabulous photographers, that have such great artistic talent. Your commentary on each photo is well thought out. I wish that I lived closer so that I could attend your meetup. Thanks again Ted for another great pod cast!

[@stetsondayton4491]

You prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account? I somehow lost my login password. I love any tricks you can give me

[@lukeibrahim7249]

@Stetson Dayton instablaster ;)

[@stetsondayton4491]

@Luke Ibrahim thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and im in the hacking process atm. Takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@stetsondayton4491]

@Luke Ibrahim It worked and I actually got access to my account again. I am so happy! Thank you so much, you really help me out :D

[@lukeibrahim7249]

@Stetson Dayton Glad I could help :)

[@ChameleonEditor]

Just became a subscriber after watching Irving Penn video, great work! Looking forward to Artist Series, thanks you.

[@saskiaclemens4405]

Just found your channel! Great!! Thanks for this interesting and entertaining portrait of Irving Penn.

[@Leoji67]

Awesome video! thank you.

[@TheBiggervern]

That was great. Thank you Ted.

[@saldina2871]

very well done Ted, as always

[@michaelstfort]

I just saw a his work in Paris. Very beautiful. "Modern family" is an awesome photo.

[@legile]

Beautiful content Ted!

[@victorwhitby4401]

Great pics

[@dakotablue52]

+Art of Photography loved this Episode! Growing up in Bucks County, i was incredibly influenced by the arts in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania Impressionism, Brandywine, New Hope, and NYC. I took a year off during collage and traveled as Penn did, and did rerurn with scores of Drawings from Taos, Santa Fe, Big Bend, Mexico, Texas, along with doing studio busy work every where someone would let me. I did take Photography in school, but didn't return to it seriously until 2003, and have been in love with it ever since. Just ordered the Beyond Beauty on Amazon. thanks for the overview!

[@jazzoramazgr]

you make a great Job !!!!! Great video

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

A lot of valuable interesting information great video!

[@katferments]

It would be so nice to see more videos like this! Like, going through a photo book and talking about it. I'm a big fan of photo books, but I don't have many cause they're quite expensive. Also I could listen to you talking about photography all day long and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Also, on a side note, I'm working on my first zine at the moment, I'll send you a copy once it's done :) Thanks for the always amazing content!

[@nathanperkins6544]

Penn's work is so inspirational

[@katarzynaswiatek729]

I back to learn again to re all.. 😍😁

[@holisticphotography5018]

Still so inspirational

[@NMTrucha]

That was a good one. Thank you.

[@derrickwilliams331]

One of the Worlds,best Photographer's in the world!

[@Bleedows]

Amazing work, Ted! Great presentation! I'd like to have a video about Rinko Kawauchi. Thanks!

[@robvanbooren7108]

magic!

[@joyineye]

The shepherd photo is gorgeous.

[@theartofphotography]

+joyineye agreed - one of my favorites. So simple and elegant. The lighting and colors are diffused and just gorgeous. Glad you like it too…

[@donsemo4804]

I just saw his work at MoPA in San diego

[@laurastokes4777]

During the time Penn and Lieberman were at Vogue my mother did layout and design working directly under Penn. He wanted to photograph her but she said she was too busy. She was a beauty herself and it would have been interesting.

[@CarlosMilan]

And I was just today at the National Portrait Gallery were they have Irvin Penn work on display

[@Kleinbiology]

Thanks once again Ted for sharing the work of another amazing artist! I am inspired.

[@dassouki]

Great video as usual! Curious, did you change the audio/sound system. :)

[@emqufortytwo]

what type of lights do you use for the camera shelf in the background?

[@lucentguy85]

Thank you very much for very useful review for this book! I want to buy a book of Penn's work, which one would you advise me to purchase? this one or "Irving Penn: Centennial"???!!!

[@jaquefrancis2388]

May he continue resting in peace

[@chrisogrady28]

Wow, the only video ever posted on KZbin with 100% likes

[@SomthingFromTheScene]

12 Hands of Miles Davies-12 Chromatic notes-12 Frames from a Blad. Boom! Genius.

[@fabius_costa]

Ted, why not doing a video about the italian landscape, portrait (also nudes), commercial photographer Franco Fontana? Really good videos by the way !

[@spencerbentley_creates]

Thank you of continuing this series of historic photographers. Its what brought me to the page and has really given me a much deeper appreciation of the art. I hope, as you inevitably grow larger and more popular, you keep this series going. Its really been invaluable to my development as a photographer.

[@siebemaertens3792]

Whats the name of the song in the begin ?

[@dct124]

You should do one of these on Sacha Dean Biyan. He's on IG and is personable. You might even get an interview out of him. I've actually never heard him speak but he's my favorite photographer next to Sails Chong.

[@josephbates8117]

As a violinist, I'm really curious what piece you used for the intro. It sounds really familiar, but I can't quite place it...

[@alexanderhakimi8297]

how does one go about joining in on the Penn exhibition tour at the DMA you mentioned?

[@theartofphotography]

+Alexander Hakimi I'll have the details in the next day or so - I'll do a video for it. Hope you can come!

[@alexanderhakimi8297]

+The Art of Photography i'll do my best to be there!

[@deannapoli5750]

Dose anyone know what the name of the photograph is at 10:03?

[@LisaMarieStevens]

never ever have I wanted to live in Dallas....till now!!!!

[@luisboaventura22]

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@Sherlockarim]

is genius the word to describe his works ? ... definitely

[@DGDG0202]

what irving penn personality was like

[@norbertperka9231]

Nice job, but it seems like you rush somewhere, slow it down and will be great 👍🏼

[@linkinpark4everful]

Nicely done, but I recommend you to speak just a bit slower
