Talking about photographs is much nicer than cameras. This is about photos and thank you for that!
I whole heartedly agree. Much more interesting and inspiring.
Square, especially 6x6 medium format twin lens camera, is a game changer. Square is a stable form that in the far east symbolize peace. Square is such a stable format, that a photographer must make the photograph interesting by braking the square using composition, light and all the tricks of the craft. I love it.
Holger Nitschke is one of my favorite photographers I have to admit and I am happy that more people are able to see his art due to this video. The other pieces of work are also beautiful, but I already have my copy of SOME SQUARES and it is one of the books I flip through quite often because of the variety. Thank you for the inspiring video, Ted.
I just love your mail time videos. The work sent to you is generally very high and your comments are always insightful. It’s really interesting to see how powerful still imagery, presented in book form, can be in our video saturated world.
After using a cheap Lubitel 6x6 TLR in the 90s, last year I finally got back to those but this time with Rolleicord Va from the 50s. It’s wonderful being on that square format journey again and looking at this work presented here from Holger
Well done Chris! Great idea and hanging out with grown sons is awesome.
Thank you for sharing Holger Nitschke pictures. Great shots and excellent and versatile use of the square. Thumbs up!
Inspiring a father and his sons to spend time on a wonderful trip to share photography inspired by your videos! What a beautiful achievement! That's how you make the world a better place ❤️
SOME SQUARES is simply amazing!!! Thanks Ted for share!
Im so happy about 830k, but, guys, honestly, this man and this channel truly deserves more then 1 million of grateful subscribers. The episod is awesome, as always. Thank you.
One of the most inspiring photography videos I've seen. And definitely best Squarespace ad ever made
I just wanted to say that your light is the perfect temperature. Just such a great warm tone to contrast against the black and white background. Always looks so good!
I happened to see Cadillac Ranch in that photo book! Let's go Amarillo! Awesome book!!! Love it!!
Ted touches on one of the things I feel is my barometer for good photography... The desire to get out and make photographs myself. Sometimes great photography just makes you stop and think, "great picture!" Other times it makes me want to stop sitting in my office, grab my camera, and walk out the door! Awesome stuff here!
All those books look amazing, thanks for sharing Ted!!!
Nice book Chris👌🏻…and Holger…..and Ricky……and Tristan…….Tks Ted🤘🏼
A fabulous selection of books. Extremely inspiring. I particularly loved the trip across Route 66 for the touching story telling, the Squares book was amazing and moody, then the colour book was brilliant literally. However the Oscar goes the epic looks to camera on the Square Space advert!
Touching review, great photos, and an amazing family trip! What's not to love? Beautiful photo book with wonderful memories taken by Chris and the Boys. Great job -- Chris, Evan, Nick, and Nathaniel!
Beautiful idea Chris and the book looks stunning!
Holger- Amazing work!
Absolutely love the work of Holger, great job!
loved the square and the family book. well done family book makers great story!!!
Holger is followed by me two maybe three years already. Love his work and taste.
Thanks Ted! Loved the video!
Thanks for the job you do inspiring others, giving insight, and motivating people to go ahead.
Cheers !
One thing I'm learning here is that a lot of people have a lot of money to spend on their hobby. It's also nice to see some work by people without those resources.
Some great work. I thought that the images by Chris and the Douglas family were stunning!
I learn so much from this videos. Loved the books from today!
The great thing about our square photos: everything. Love my Hassy, camera for life ❤
„…time I don’t have this days..“ Zeit hat man nicht,Zeit nimmt man sich! 😉 Best wishes ☘️
I love the square format, it a pity you can’t get a digital camera with that format. Hasselblad should have adopted it, with the 907.
Thanks for the video Ted! I love shooting medium format in my case, 6x7. My favorite part about shooting in MF film is the 3 dimensional quality of the images.
What a fantastic story of the father and his son. Great story - great book!
The appropriate aspect ratio for a particular image relates to the composition and how the geometry of the various elements relates to the borders. There is no "best" aspect ratio, as that's obviously a matter of opinion. I have no problem with square format and do on occasion utilize that (my first camera was square format back in 1971), but more often, an image is more "balanced" when the aspect ratio exceeds 1:1. My preference is 3:4 for most images. It happens to split the difference between "classic" 4:5 and 2:3. The latter, of course popularized by 135 format film and "FF" digital, generally looks good in landscape mode (especially with landscapes--go figure), but often looks too thin in portrait mode (unless you're doing a full-body image of a human or maybe a tree). In any case, great stories behind the books and kudos for those who made them (and to you for featuring them).
Holgars book is AMAZING !
Nice work! I love the square format and often wonder how 35mm and 3:2 became the standard. I much prefer to shoot in 4:3 or 5:4
Really interesting! Particularly the Route 66 book as used to drive it to and from college in the ‘60’s.
Hello ted i wanna thank you for your work. Ive taken a step back from RUclips but i always come back to see the photo books or your talks on philosophy. Like most people ive been struggling to work on my passion and still be a human these days. You’re one of a few that i can trust for advice and i always think about working on what matters to me. Not just in photography but in life and i feel like im in a place where i can do that now. When i have doubts i think of making work that matters and how it doesn’t have to matter to everyone to be good enough and it keeps me going. Thanks again
Just ordered Holger’s book. Looking forward to it.
Great first book. Great channel Ted
If you go to the san Francisco MOMA, they have an excellent photography collection. And much of it is shot with a Rollei. the difference is Rollei is shot above waist high. A different look.
My work as a painter and photographer is all square - and has been for decades. I discovered the square format through Gustav Klimt and others Artists of the Vienna Secession, established in 1898.
I'm also a filmmaker, but square films look goofy. I might change my mind about that - but I doubt it.
I recently became the owner of a hand-me-down Leica D-Lux Typ 109. I have it set to black and white - and square format, of course.
Best wishes from Vermont ❄️
Ted: Thank you again for the really nice review of my book "some squares"!! It was sold out for a few weeks but as of today it is available again!
🖤🤍⬛⬜
I love the square format
Love it 👍✨
Hi Ted, thanks for doing what you do by showcasing photographers work to put them on our radar. Question: I’m a street photographer based in Portland,Oregon. I typically process my images in color, since the world we live in is color, and the thing that caught my eye to take that photo was most likely vivid colors. I only process in black and white when I feel like color distracts the viewer from the photo’s true subject. I am working on my 4th photoshop book and was considering including both color and black and white images. What is your opinion on combining both? Do you find it to be complementary or distracting? I appreciate your feedback and will send a copy of the book once it is completed. Thanks, Brian
I am really draw to MF due in part to the variety of visions it supports. I am not enamored of 6x7 as it seems neither fish nor fowl. However 6x4.5 provides a nearly ideal aspect ratio for 8x10 prints, 6x6 provides a certain tension due to the unique symmetry, and 6x9 just shouts contact print. All of this is available with a single film stock.
beautiful !
I want to print my own book, which companies would be a good option to hire?
But the great thing with Panorama photos is that its using more paper so its bigger and therefor should be more expensive at least that's the option I often selected when I was still a studio portrait photographer, especially when working on a white background.
What about the photography book, who made it?
Square is awesome!
yup def🤘🏼
Square photo video by Squarespace. You are a marketing genius mate
Is the plural of "Douglas" Dougli?
I find it extremely difficult to shoot the square format, and some seem to do it effortlessly.
Bring back the Artist Series 👍🙂
@theartofphotography are the prints behind you original karl blossfeldt images?
Square photos fit right into Squarespace?
I see what you did there
Don’t defile Vivaldi 😮
I actually tried square but I just couldn’t. It doesn’t fulfill my vision
Me neither.

So what IS the great thing about square photos . . . ?
Great job though
