About the Show:

The Art of Pho­tog­ra­phy is a pod­cast published weekly cov­er­ing all things pho­tog­ra­phy related. Ted Forbes started the podcast in October 2008 as an alternative to other photography related podcasts where the focus was on equipment and gear and didn’t offer much in terms of actually getting better and improving as an artist and photographer.

If you’d like to con­tact the show, feel free to send an email.

I am extremely grate­ful for the fine view­ers who watch each episode. I am always hum­bled when peo­ple email me com­ple­ments and ques­tions — or even send sam­ples of their work ask­ing me to cri­tique. Its been a fun ride so far.

I offer the pod­casts and all blog con­tent and tuto­ri­als free to any­one who wants to use them. I don’t make money from pro­duc­ing the pod­cast and rely on the kind­ness of view­ers who donate. To those who have con­tributed, I am extremely grateful!
