I'm glad it's not another gear review of stuff I can't afford. More of this type of content please.

Yes! Gear stuff is ok but unless it relates to your choice between video or stills or both and then also involves an eco system that's relevant to you it becomes mute. Our man has a huge wealth of knowledge that I feel is untapped. History, technique and both where they collide is what I get excited about.

szz1070 I agree but I would like to expand a bit. I would like to still see videos about gear but with an emphasis of what makes a lens unique, some ways you can use it, what it really excels at, etc.

I like these types of videos when you talk about artists. I know it probably doesn’t get as many views as gear reviews but you do such a good job at sharing knowledge. Thanks!

Thanks Ted, not just for this video but also for introducing me to even more influential photographers. This is the kind of video that got me interested in your channel six years ago. Cheers from Australia Steve

Can I just say thanks for all the time you've put into teaching us about the history of photography and technique in general. Not enough channels do this. Thank you sir, bless your heart. 🙏

Hey Ted, fellow fort worth'er here hoping your having a good rainy evening. Your channel has been the introduction to many photographic styles and photographers that have since become huge inspirations for me over the years. I haven't seen Ted Cronners work before and WOW! Thank you for all the great content and discussions here.

I really love your channel! It talks about artist and about the love of photography! You are focusing on what 's important! It's so refreshing to hear about artists in a medium such as youtube where the algorithm pushes everyone to create content about gear - gear - gear.

was really hoping to see some Fan Ho, but I love the mention of Gordon Parks

Michael Smith Oh yeah! Another incredible photographer!

Mr Forbes, I love these videos. Going 'old school' AOP is definitely appreciated!

I've been watching and appreciating your photo lit series for several years now. I feel like they're a lot better than the classes I took in college back in the '90s. Thank you!

I didn't know about Charles Négre. MY GOD, i love that work. And to think he did it as a way to gather material for his paintings.

Ted, thank you for for this video, so well done. Themes like this are why I subscribed to your channel. Lots of guys are doing gear posts but no one that I have found creates insightful videos on The Art of Photography the way you do , Please Keep em coming!

Wonderful to see you back doing what you are great at !!

One of THE BEST enriching photography sessions I have seen so far! Ted, PLEASE use this one as a template for many more and thanks for bringing this to life!

I've been diving back into your older videos where you cover specific photographers. Very glad to see you're getting back into this type of content.

hi Ted, love your channel. You have introduced me to a number of great photographers, Josef Sudek in particular as well as W. Eugene Smith are two of my favorites. i noticed a photograph of Rashaan Roland Kirk in this video that was taken at the jazz loft. i love his album The Inflated Tear a classic jazz tune with an interesting back story that was probably inspired by those late night jams you mentioned in the video. Must have been one of the coolest places on earth to hang out at the time .Thanks Ted for intorducing me to so many talented photographers, keep up the noble work.

Love these kinds of videos ! That's what initially got me into your channel wayyy back when you were doing the composition series. Those videos even helped me in my architecture career! ☺️

Loved it. Thanks for coming up with this one. 😍😍🤗🤗

This is the kind of video I love to watch. Your passion, knowledge and humility shine through. Fabulous selection of photographers; I hadn't heard of some of them which only whets my appetite to discover more about them. Thanks.

I love when you do photo history videos! Like you say there are so many good street photographers out there. All the more reason to do a continuation of this video.

Thank you, thank you, thanks you. Love the introduction to some photographers that are new to me and some that I return to again and again for good reason. Please keep doing these reviews, these running overviews of various approaches to photography - the art of photography.

So happy to have a thoughtful review of the artistic works of many photographers. Other than a few brief mentions (wide angle, view camera, etc.) it was devoid of tech talk. Many thanks.

I love when you talk about this stuff ! So much passion !

Ted - this is a wonderfully important video. I have not come across most of these photographers, I classify myself as a photo/artist tho so half baked, and this video is like a banquet of raw beauty that I’m sooooo appreciative of you sharing. My favorite videos of yours have lead this direction, and loved those. There’s just such a balance achieved w/ the direction of modern photography, and sifting through bygone, more or less, of the past artists. You’ve again enriched my evening.

I came across your channel almost a year ago when I was starting out photography and watched some of your videos and now this video came in my recommendations and I really enjoyed watching it! It’s so inspiring and I discovered new photographers and new photography! Very beautiful video!!

Amazing list!! Truly inspiring video, Ted!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I love love Henri C-B's work 💕 thank you for sharing the others Im definitely going to look more into them!

Hey Ted! Hope you’re staying well. Thanks for pulling in some lesser known photographers among the better known group. It’s important to expand our knowledge base as we pursue our own work. Nice!

Great video! Very enlightening and informative. A lot of great names mentioned in there too. It's refreshing to watch photography videos about photography instead of equipment. Thank you!

No matter what your topic, I ALWAYS learn from you. Thank you so much for the variety of thoughtful content you produce.

That's a great, and inspiring list of street photographers. We can learn so much from them... If there was an eleventh pick, I'd certainly include Vivian Maier.

So glad to see some old style Ted back. So much to learn from these types of videos 😀

What an excellent job you did of putting together this diverse list of inspiring, influential photographers. Watching your video has been a great experience.

Thank you so much for this video! I will do some more research on these amazing photographers! Thank goodness for quality photography channels like this!

Thanks for the video. I've been considering studying more on the topic of these iconic street photographers, especially having already looked briefly into the work of Saul Leiter and subsequently having my mind blown by his talent, with colour especially you've mentioned here. Street photography has always seemed incredibly daunting to me, but even as a portrait photographer I believe a great deal can be learned from this school of photography. Thanks again and I hope you are well. God bless and stay safe. Brad

Thanks for sharing. Your content it’s something that I didn’t know I needed and the algorithm showed it and I loved it.

I really mean this in the best way I can say it.......this is the best video you have done for a while Ted. Really, REALLY enjoyed this. Hearing you talk about photographers I've not heard of and giving me ideas for people I want to learn more about is exactly why i first started watching years ago:) More of this content please.

Thanks for sharing Ted. This is the main reason why I love your channel. Your insight on the history of photography.

One of your best. Loved this video so much.

I love these history videos. I understand the art and art history videos are works of love. The gear videos pay the bills. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do. The Artist series was sooo good. Ted is also the guy that taught me all the stuff I've forgotten about composition. I need to rewatch so many things. I don't think I'll every be a great photographer, but every time I spend a few hours walking and intentionally practicing 1 specific form of composition, I feel a little more proud of my work. I need to get out and shoot more.

Thank you. There’s some names in there I’m not so familiar with, and some I definitely need to revisit. Agree with many of the other comments - this is how we discovered your channel years ago. The gear reviews may get the clicks but there’s hundreds of other channels doing that. So few doing this - the art of photography. Keep it up. Good stuff!

Thank you ! Great video ! Please keep going 😊 I would love to see more about each photographer and with more examples of them great work. I like to her your thoughts and feelings about it as well !!! Thank you again and waiting for more 😊

I constantly rewatch the old stuff about photographers. It was great to see some new photographers I haven't hear of. I am about to go out and shoot and I have google searched all the photographers I haven't heard of. I am excited to come home and look through. I am also going to see if there any episodes of the candid frame with interviews with the Africa American photographers. I love these rabbit holes

I love all your new content and your camera reviews. You give a different perspective as someone who actually taught photography, but I do really enjoy it when you take it back to the greats and share those classic images and why they were so important. I'm obsessed with street photography, but it wasn't until I saw your video on W. Eugene Smith that I realized just making a compelling image with some bokkeh isn't enough. You need a body of work to tell a complete story and you have to do it with passion. Keep doing what you do, but please continue sprinkling in stuff like this. Oh, and bring back the Pinterest boards in the vids if you can :) Thanks, Ted!

Hello Ted. Jose from Puerto Rico. Fascinating video! I really enjoyed this one. You are a true scholar of Photography and your channel is a breath of fresh air on KZread. I never get tired of watching and listening to your narration of the history of Photography. Joel Meyerowitz is one of my favorites too. I'd love to hear you talk someday about Jay Maisel, Pete Turner, Ernst Haas, and Fan Ho.

Love these videos, Ted. You provide us such a great education - highly appreciated! All best from Korea

Really enjoyed this. Lots to explore and learn from your list of amazing photographers. Thank you.

You have done a great video here, all photographers you have mentionned are the most interesting ones. Thank you Ted !

Just watched this again. It never gets old because there’s always something to learn. Thanks again Ted.

Just love this kind of videos. Always feel inspired to go out and shoot.

You have always been my mentor. Thank you for existing. I love the Artist series plus Photo assignment. Keep doing.

I enjoy your equipment reviews, but I love your work on great photographers!!! Thank you for this great video.

Street photography is definitely the essence of photography itself, as it embodies the one crucial element of photography, observation. The controversy around Martin Parr’s colour work and his admission to Magnum could have been an interesting subject to discuss in this video-essay as his work has inspired the fashion photography scene a lot in the past decade. Street photography and observation is great practice for pretty much all genres of photography and other art forms. William Klein, who also lived in NYC as a pioneering street photographer, became a well known Vogue photographer. Vogue and Klein collaborated for over a decade in the mid-twentieth century.

Thank you for putting this together and showing us these wonderful artists

Fantastic! Exactly what I was looking for during this lockdown. Thank you so much!

Awesome stuff. I lived thru the 50s,60s,70s,till 2020. and saw a lot of the times you referred to in this video. Thanks for sharing my life with me. Really enjoyed.

I highly approve this list and would like to include 20 ppl more :D Ah the good old days with some education and history lessons from Ted :)

From Chile! Thank you for this, I’m always looking at new photographers to check out. I would recommend Sergio Larraín, a Chilean photographer, worked for Magnum, his photography is a bit surreal. His work influenced the story that inspired the film Blowup. Very different and awe inspiring work.

I don't have 10, but I really admire Henry Cartier-Bresson, Fan Ho, & Helen Levitt. Especially Fan Ho because I grew up in Hong Kong. I like some of Robert Frank's work considering his place in photographic history. Not sure if you count Walker Evans as a street photographer but I like Evans too. By the way, some photos that you showed in La Strada were amazing. I wish I could get a hold of a copy.

This is the type of content that brought me to this channel. Thanks for the insight, especially about Kamoinge. I’ve never heard of the group.

When you've spent the last few weeks consuming nearly everything street photography related on KZread and a video from one of your favorite channels drops some content on the matter the next day. Thank you for this!

Just discovered your channel! Loved specially Gary's work. Thanks for this video!

Really good Ted! What a performance too! You should do a 6 hour video and carry on throughout historical photographers. I'd watch it in one go.

Thank you for the two free months on Skillshare! Great video, I was looking forward to seeing again this kind of stuff !

Great History video, I’m currently taking photography classes at OCC ( Orange Coast College in Costa Mesa California ), the rumor says that school is one of the best school for video and photography because the experience of the teachers and equipment, I was always interested on the thecnical aspects of photography but I took a class called “History and Aesthetics of photography” and is so amazing to learn how started, I even converted my tiny loft apartment into a “Camera Obscura” and the results were incredible, your video covered a lot of what I saw in class, people need to learn about all that, not just pick a camera and start shooting, Thank again. Jose W.

I really love your educational videos about photography and photographers. Hope you ca do it more often.

Thanks, I have some new books on the way now :) I always love this kind of content and the passion with which you bring it!

Love these videos. This is the kind of AoP content that got me hooked!

A good list of classics, we know theres so many more who you could /you should. Happy to see this type of stuff again and another artists series would be great.

amazing video. Thanks Ted!

I really miss seeing these style of videos on you channel ted hopefully we can keep getting them

It's great to hear about some of the history of what we do. Thank you, Sir.

Great vlog. I enjoyed to the full. Great photographers, some I knew and some I didn't. Thanks for sharing.

Love the variety of photographers you've chosen ...

I really like this video because many of the images you show bust the myth that street photography is just randomly snapping and hoping something turns out. Most of these images were either carefully composed and waiting for someone to enter or the person is well aware they are being photographed, if not always posed in the image.

I love when you do these films Ted, I always learn something. Edit, this content is unique Ted, more would be great and I reckon find a wide audience. So many people doing gear stuff.

Great video! Saul Leiter’s color work is phenomenal. I think his work gets better with time.

Loved this video Ted! It remimded me of the old TAOP. Well done 👏🏻👏🏻

Great videos !! I was an analog amateur photographer and I´m getting into photography again with digital. I´m 59 years old and your videos are very good for knowing the right way of this fascinating hobby (or job, it depends). Thank you !! Hello from México !!

Hey Ted, thanks for doing keeping this photography-centric. I have a few general questions bouncing around that I hope you have time to address: - What do you think made a photographer successful in the previous eras that you discuss, vs now? - Most of the artistic analysis seems to be done in hindsight, but is there any work from current photographers that you follow and can point out similar features? It would be amazing to see like a "top modern photographers I follow today and why" type of thing.

Wow...I got the exact same question in my mind...So I understood is thag street photography has a lot to do with gone era or time.. where when you look at the pictures ..one tends to look at all details and just imagine how was it then...and all..and thus it becomes classic.... Even the street photographers alive today from past era keep sharing their archives....so Street photography has the time (in past tense) attached to it to make it more attractive

The Gary Winogrand image at 13.51 is amazing, one of my all time favourite pictures. Beautiful.

I love these episodes. Its been months since I've tuned in. It feels like photography tonight.

Thanks mate, love your channel

Great Ted👍 fab to hear all this as i had a great career, visual communication and great photographers... I studied Design at Blackpool and the fylde college, they had it so on the nail... Never touched a camera for the first year, studying art, visuals, 3D, print, sculpture... That aura of those great images, and the smell of thousands of hours in a dark room. It led me on to a good career. I dropped it to really start thinking about the image again. People are amazed when i talk about 5x4 etc lol... Keep up the good work.

Brilliant! Lots to chew on. Thanks!

Wonderful video Sir. I never heard about Ted Croner, but immedialtly fall in love with his blurry pictures.

I follow you for so long and you are still knockin‘it again and again ! 💪🖖💨

Excellent video and a great top 10. Thanks for sharing 📷👍

Thank you Ted, I enjoyed that. I struggle with street photography it is my avoid if I can genre, However I have become enthralled by the work of Jozef Sudek thanks to your efforts, Thank you.

Loved this Ted, and love your enthusiasm about the subject, it is so infectious! But....I spent the whole video hoping you would mention John free. John in my opinion is a living legend. I really liked this video, and you're the only one I know of doing them, thanks for that!!

This is the type of video that initially brought me to your channel Ted. The gear reviews are fine but this is where you shine sir. There's a maturity in discussing photography that gear channels simply don't have. You have been around long enough where when you talk about photography philosophically people listen. Please continue to bring this content back, this is what your loyal followers want to hear. Also, unless I missed something, there were no women on this list. Can you do 10 street photographers who are women video as well? I'm sure you can make room on that list for photographers like Vivian Maier, Hele Levitt, etc.

Brilliant. Thanks so much for sharing, I learnt a lot...

Very informative video Ted, Thank You.
