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 KZfaq.
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!

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!)

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.
