- Paul Strand was born in 1890. Growing up in New York, he began taking photography courses with Lewis Hine at the age of 17. His studies with Hine included a field trip to the famous art gallery, 291 located on 5th Avenue in New York and operated by Alfred Stieglitz and Edward Steichen. As Strand became fascinated with the modernest photography, sculpture and paintings shown at 291 he became inspired and committed to his own work as a photographer.
Strand went on to become one of the most influential photographers of the 20th century. His wide range of subject choices and ability to recognize the power of the image to create social awareness catapulted him into the company of greats.

This is why I love taking photos. The world Paul captured behind the camera is a different world now. It'll never be like that.
I’m still catching up on the artist series. These visual essays are so important. I appreciate the time and effort that you put into them. I’ve watched many more than once and will continue to come back to them.
Ted, I know your channel has evolved and I like it. But I really miss these historical review of photographers. No one covers them like you do. I appreciate the artist series but would love you to help broaden our historical appreciation of photography.
Patrick Galletti Yes. Hope he keep with this
Yeah... As much as I like The Artist Series, it doesn't compare to the 'photographers' series. They certainly inspired me, and no doubt others, to actually get out of the house and actually take photos. Although there are some photographers that Ted hasn't covered that come to mind, but not many. He has done a lot of them so maybe he's tired with them?
This web series that you do is absolutely amazing! I love every bit of it, thank you for providing such great insight and inspiring photographic history! I have studied much photography, and I continue to do so... however I find this format of learning extremely fascinating. Thanks again for sharing all of this great content!
Paul strand was really the first "strand type" photographer
I really love the flipping through the photobook with the commentary. I travel full time, so carrying photobooks with me is not an option, and they are not really available in electronic format. So something like this is a treat.
I don't know why but Paul Strand's work really speaks to me, the Wall Street image is my favorite photograph of all time
Thank you for doing this retrospective on Paul Strand. One of my favorite photographers.
Thanks!😊

You are so important in the world of photography! Your passion, your knowledge, your willingness to share... You inspire me every day! Thank you so much!
I LOVE the Wall Street image, it's amazing! Thank you!
Ted, what a wonderful series! I am thoroughly enjoying each and every one, especially those when you are introducing new photobooks, exhibitions, historical background and analysis.
Thank you for covering these great photographers. Some I new of and some I didn't and really enjoy watching and learning..
Thanks for the new video. I really loved the depth which you went to to help me understand the significance of Paul Strand and his position in the art world. Thanks so much!
Such a great series. Very well done and informative. Thank you!
As a young student of photography, I purchased a copy of Tir a’Mhurain in the late 60’s, I found it to be an extremely moving collection of photographs. I was disappointed that you barely covered any of the photographs from the book.
I just came across your series and look forward to viewing more, thank you.
Amazing episode of such an amazing photographer! Thanks Ted!
Thank you very much for this, very educational.
Good gracious! This is really good! Merci beaucoup! This Paul Strand image of Wall Street had such an impact on me. It’s in fact a very strong picture of our society deep inside behind the unveiling…
love this new "series"... thanks ted!
Awesome as always!!
I’ve been a subscriber for years, you helped me a lot as a beginner. As I become better these videos help a lot curate the art of photography rather than the technicals thank you so much.
Amazing,thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ted for these shows, I really enjoy learning about the history of famous photographers. I can't wait for the Harold Feinstein video you are producing. Congratulations on your awesome shows.
Absolutely epic channel! I've just now found you and am very pleased. Looking forward to exploring your topics and getting more involved.
Thank you -Dan
Great mini documentary thx
Hartley was also associated with Stieglitz and Clarence H White (Hartley socialized with many mutual friends of Stieglitz in Georgetown Maine). All a bunch of influential people. Strand photography is great. I'm a big fan of White and am learning about his student and influential photographer Ralph Steiner. Similar car photos, and he took cloud photos very seriously.
One of my favorites, Paul Strand
While everyone is trying to be street photographer #3,456,231 on Instagram, we need more abstract visionaries like Paul Strand
Thanks Ted once again for introducing me to another great photographer. AOP is the best there is.
Dear Ted, it's a while since I sung the praises of your show. It's awesome. I like the direction you have been taking it. I feel a happy sense of relief when I listen to your sponsor message at the beginning and during the presentation. It gives sense (which I hope is true!) that that is working out for you.
One thing I have been thinking, having watched these shows for a couple of years now is this:
Has anyone created a diagram that links the different schools and photographers. It's not to suggest that everything is derivative of what has come before in photography, but it would be useful to have an overall scheme that identifies - even loosely - the schools over time and how various photographers relate.
Aside from that being useful in its own right, I have another practical purpose in mind:
All of your shows that relate to schools and photographers could be linked to such a map, so that your archive of shows can be looked at schematically rather than chronologically by show.
Just an idea! Maybe it is too complicated/too much work, and maybe the utility isn't there as much as I suspect it is. But I thought I'd mention it.
Thanks for the shows, you mentioned an audio podcast, could you maybe post the link, as I can´t see it.
Thank you for making and uploading this video. I was taught about Paul Strand in an art class even though I'm not a photographer.
I was not aware he was a socially active guy. Thanks. Interesting stuff
You are a great Photo lover, promoter and teacher. I enjoy you passion and rhetoric of your speech. Thank you !
Try to show (video or photographs) his prints. You mentioned his printing technique. They are masterfully executed !
So thankful for the timing of this episode! Heading into Philadelphia for the exhibition right now, and this is a wonderful primer! Thank you, Ted.
Mark Morris Enjoy! Should be a great show!!!
theartofphotography I have a question - at the show, a photo labeled Red River, New Mexico (1930) was displayed in two different printings. but one of them is actually upside-down. It was exactly the same photograph, but printed in different sizes, and then one displayed correctly, and the other upside-down. Does this make any sense at all, or was it simply a mistake by the museum. If it was just a mistake - how is it possible to still be upside down at the end of a show that has run Since October of last year? Extremely curious if this could have been something done by Strand himself, or if it's simply human error. Thanks again!
Good. Thanks.
Ted, be aware that the photo at the five-minute mark in the video (the woman's hand on an automobile tire) is of Georgia O'Keeffe and was taken by Stieglitz, not Strand.
Ooops - you are correct. Accidentally slipped that into the slide show somehow…
Actually surprised you hadn't hit Strand until now. I think several of the shots of the homes, etc. were from Gaspé, a fishing village in Canada he liked to visit. There's a documentary about him on Netflix (dvd.netflix.com/Movie/Strand-Under-the-Dark-Cloth/60026545) it's quite good.
Great podcasts in the photographers series.
I just hate the nearly 2 minutes lasting commercials for your sponsor, although i understand why..
Thank you for your inspiring and wonderful videos!
Hey Ted, I had the chance to see the Paul Strand show at the Philadelphia Museum of Art a couple months ago and while it was a terrific show, I felt that 250+ pieces was just too much. I think they could have culled it down to 50-75 pieces and still had a wonderful representation of Strand's work, rather than feeling like they had to show their entire collection. We even talked about it on an episode of On Taking Pictures, but I wanted to get your take. Is there such a thing as too much from one artist in a single show?
Jeffery Saddoris I'm sure it was amazing. Philly has one of the largest collections of his work - I think they own over 4,000 prints by Mr Strand. Its a retrospective show and he was prolific - I'd say they did cut it down. Exhibitions also involve donors and private collectors so inclusion can be for those reasons sometimes.
I love Strand, so I don't mind a massive retrospective personally. I suppose its a rather intense collection for some people. You definitely got your money's worth on that one!

Thank you for another wonderful show. I am going to see his show in Philadelphia in 2 days, so it was a great introduction!
I really value this history of photography lessons I get here, but it might be instructive torus to also learn who are the modern leaders in art photography?
That’s my hockey coach no lie
All these old photographers their photos look like paintings. All us new photographers our photos look like sharp digital computer backgrounds. The old generation just had a way more beautiful process.
My dad knew Paul Strand and owns of his portfolios.
The greatest "straight" photographer to ever live
The Mexican Portfolio??
I'm struggling a bit with Paul Strand. I find your taste is impeccable usually but i'm just not seeing any really quality in his work.Maybe his strength was where he pops up in the history timeline of photography.I would still like to see a deep dive on the wall street image to see what you find captivating.
I don't agree with that interpretation of Paul. His historical value is that he advocates photography to face the society directly and opposes the art of photography.
Reminds me of the attempted probing interviews with Bob Dylan. You haven't a clue about Paul Strsnd's work let alone any qualifications to weigh in on the the topic.
Sorry but you talk to much!
Sebastiano Muglia he has something to say, is different
