I got a letter this week from Erin who is 14 and wants to pursue a career in photography and film making. She asked me what is the most important lesson that I have learned as a photographer.

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 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!

Great advice.
Cracking video Ted. Just a line to show my appreciation.
awesome advice!
And with that, I'm going to go practice my violin
… anyway, I got cut off. so there's the end. Your video was so on taeget – I wasn't ready to sacrifice and I'll never know where my passion would have twkwen me. Your adivce was so relevant, and you were most impressive both with your insigts and your ability to community them. Great work, Ted. Fred Rosenberg
I am new at your channel and I must admit, I really like your honest statements and your topics. You talk about real things, that move people and you speak from the heart rather than this general and commercial bla bla I see in the media everywhere.
amazing advice
THANK U MAN ….. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
This is the best Photography Channel that i've ever watched . Thank you!!!
Thank you Ted..love watching you and we learn from you.
Loved this video thanks for the advice!
very nice!
Great advice Ted. Although I've been taking photos for 45 years, I'm new to The Art of Photography so I've been on a three-week crash course of AOP videos. Thanks for expressing so eloquently the concepts that all of us, young and old, have pondered as we share our vision of the world with others.
Great advice that applies to all, regardless of life choices. Thanks for the inspiring message.
i subscribed immediately the moment i watched your video.
This guy is great…he needs to get his pictures/video in focus !
This EP is so grounded. I certainly feel the same way. It is a very tough choice, but I keep walking forward and keep practice my craft. Hopefully one day make the way out.
You are a true inspiration
Spot on.
I began a photography career at 14, in 1958.
That's about the best advice I've ever heard,
with the possible addition of Dan Langton's advice to young poet's,
which was: "If anyone can talk you out of becoming a poet, let them…"
Daniel J. Langton… fine poet & great teacher.
Great great advice! Good luck to you and to Erin too.
great post. good advice
You have great advice
It's the first time I watch your channel and I must say, your words resonate a lot with my thinking. I have made the decision to leave a $100k /year job to start from the ground in photography. It has always been my itch and now I'm starting to reap. I'm 33 and I believe as you said that you can be whatever you want to be in this life. Thanks for the inspiration
Great video 🙂 ..simple and thoughtful.
Outstanding video
this was quite some "in lak'ech ala k'in" unfolding …subscribed
Hi Ted, it has been a pleasure to me watching this video, it reminded me of myself many years ago, when I started to take photos, all that fun I had, the enthusiasm, the many times of disappointment, how I struggled to exceed all the bad moments, but most of all, the satisfaction I had when things went good. All I want, for people like you, is to keep up the good work and most of all, to encourage young people who want to deal with the wonderful art of Photography. Best regards, Stefanos
you can be a great motivation speaker in the field of arts
From a fourteen year old going on fifty three .. keep up the great work Ted. You a constant source of inspiration and motivation.
Very well put…couldn't have said it any better! Keep it fun…
for me it's fun, and it doesn't matter if it's artistic project or commercial one, if you're bored or in hurry, it shows on your photos. there might be bad times with no money but if there's a joy in the pictures they will get bigger audience after all. Technical stuff is quite important (photography as a concept is all about that), but the techniques you develop are much more important. Think, visualise and simply be there. Great photo BTW.
