In the late 1800's we begin to see photographers banding together not only for community support, but also to do their own exhibitions, sell prints and do the artistic work and marketing to push photography into a more robust medium. As a result we see the formation of camera clubs. These clubs had formal structure, budgets, held meetings, published journals and produced important exhibitions for work by its members.
The most significant of these clubs were the Photo Club de Paris (formed in 1888), the Brotherhood of the Linked Ring (formed in England around 1892) and the most influential - the Photo-Secession in the United States around 1902. These clubs provided support, encouragement and a platform for photographers serious about their craft and exhibiting a high skill level. I think its safe to argue that these camera clubs established careers for many photographers that might not have achieved notoriety otherwise.
Philosophy and photography are a great combination!
Wow, I just can't stop watching your videos. I sincerely appreciate your honest effort of informing while at the same time entertaining your audiences on this subject that we love which is photography. Honestly, I am so glad to have found your channel, because you are different, you focus more into the artistic side of photography rather than just the technical aspect which is what everyone else is doing right now. Thank you Ted Forbes,your videos inspire my passion for photography to another level.
Mario Gonzalez Thank YOU Mario!!! Glad you like the show!
So very informative. Truly enjoying your history of photography sessions. Terrific. Thanks
The picture of the Flatiron is _very_ reminiscent of Atkinson Grimshaw's paintings. I'd also add that these images are inspiring because, though the technical quality of their equipment was crude by today's standards, they used those limitations to their advantage. In other words, Imagination and an artistic gift is _way_ more important than the very best equipment.
Followed by the F64 club, a reaction to pictorialism and an affirmation of the special qualities of the camera lens to render all aspects of the image as sharp.
I am really enjoying to watching yours old videos
Great video. Appreciated your comment at the end about learning instead of copying a certain look. I’ve been trying to learn from many of these great photographers mainly by looking at their work and seeing how it makes me see things when I view the images and then go out and shoot. Great stuff...learning a lot. Thanks!
Quality! Thanks for that crystal clear, and thought provoking video!
And totally agree with your final comments about trying to gauge the difficulty of actually producing your own chemical plate/mixture and so on: not just a level in LR (er, which is what I kinda do!). Great stuff, awesome channel and looking forward to going through your videos.

The documentary "Alfred Stieglitz: The Eloquent Eye" taught me a lot about what Ted is talking about here.
Another fantastic episode. Many thanks.
Love your videos, thanks for posting!
Thanks Ted - very educational and informative. If you don't know the past, then you won't know where you are going with your work.
Thank you for this video. I find that learn how to think differently and out of the norm is a difficult thing to do in this digital instagram culture. In an age where we stress about not having the sharpest photograph possible, We forget that the impact in a photo is the composition as a whole.
great episode! keep up the good work :D
The term photo succession was a very loaded term in the American context. It was within living memory that the Southern states had succeeded from the Union and triggered the American Civil war. My understanding is that this term, whether meant to be used with that load, or casually used (as has been suggested) certainly caused a stir...
I LI love this series and your enthusiasm. Brilliant. I'm mad for pictorials. :-) I make salt prints and gum bichromates. :-)
Ted...Man Ray...the DADAists? you probably covered them but I'm not seeing the video yet. How about Francis Bruguière? Love your channel. It is reviving my first love...Photography!
Suterday morning. drinking cup coffee and watching Ted Forbes
Thanks Ted, good stuff, really important comment at the end about the essence of what these guys were trying to do. It's inspired me to do my own thing, to be innovative and not to recreate.
Right you are… these were not in the show I saw.
I don't think you could find prints of those color photos by Kuhn, these are actually autochromes and are unique transparent pieces to be seen in a lightbox.
As you mentioned The Linked Ring have you ever profiled Corburn? He completely reshaped portraits, to an extremely relaxed almost effeminate pose. Although an American by birth he was a major influence on many British photographers.
why don't you add subtitles on your videos? plzzzzz
Ted perhaps your 2018 self should watch the odd early video ;)
Eg: Lightroom styles presets?.
