Episode Details

My guest today is Ted Forbes. A photographer and educator from the US who has made videos online for over 16 years. He released a book last year summarising his thoughts and feeling about the art form and spends much of his time on workshops traveling the world and sharing knowledge. I’ve watched Ted’s videos for pretty much all of those 16 years so the opportunity to spend a hour speaking with him was a real treat, I think you’ll get a kick out of our chat.

More about this show:

A camera is just a tool but spend enough time with photographers and you’ll see them go misty eyed when they talk about their first camera or a small fast prime that they had in their youth. Prime Lenses is a series of interviews with photographers talking about their photography by way of three lenses that mean a lot to them. These can be interchangeable, attached to a camera, integrated into a gadget, I’m interested in the sometimes complex relationship we have with the tools we choose, why they can mean so much and how they make us feel.
