**Building a Gallery in Squarespace**

To build a gallery in Squarespace, I start by selecting all my images and dragging them onto the "Add to Collection" button. This process is seamless and allows me to upload each image one by one, without having to worry about resizing or formatting. Squarespace handles all the technical details, ensuring that my images look great on both mobile and desktop devices.

Once I've added all my images to the gallery, I can easily rearrange them in any order I prefer. This is a particularly useful feature, as it allows me to quickly experiment with different arrangements and find the layout that works best for me. The live updating preview makes it easy to see how the images will look without having to make any changes.

In addition to the gallery itself, Squarespace also offers a range of advanced features that can be used to customize and control the appearance of my website. For example, I can use the "Settings" tab to change the URL of the gallery, password protect it if needed, and even add tags or categories. This level of customization is a big part of what makes Squarespace so powerful, and allows me to create a website that truly reflects my vision.

One of the things I appreciate most about Squarespace is how easy it is to use. Unlike some other website builders, which can be frustratingly complex and difficult to navigate, Squarespace has a intuitive interface that makes it easy to get up and running quickly. Even for someone who isn't particularly tech-savvy, building a gallery in Squarespace is a breeze.

**Nick Brandt**

Today, I'm excited to share the work of Nick Brandt, a photographer who has been making waves in the art world with his stunning images of wildlife and conservation issues. What sets Nick apart from other photographers, however, is his commitment to using his platform to raise awareness for important causes.

As someone who is passionate about photography and conservation, I find Nick's work to be truly inspiring. His dedication to using his art to make a positive impact on the world is something that I think we could all learn from.

Nick's photography is not just beautiful – it's also thought-provoking. By using subtle images of animals in their natural habitats, he encourages viewers to think critically about the impact of human activity on the environment. His work with Big Life Foundation and other conservation organizations has been particularly impactful, and I'm excited to learn more about his latest projects.

**Seeing Nick Brandt's Work**

If you're interested in seeing Nick Brandt's work in person, he has several exhibitions lined up for the coming months. In Finland, his work will be on display at the Salo Art Museum, while next year, it will be shown at the Photographs Club Museum in Stockholm. This is a great opportunity to experience his images firsthand and see how they are presented.

One of the things I appreciate about Nick's work is that he prints his images large – sometimes massive – which allows them to have a profound impact on viewers. When you see one of his images in person, it's almost overwhelming. The size and quality of the print make it feel like you're right there with the animal.

**My Own Work**

As I was exploring Squarespace and learning more about Nick Brandt's work, I couldn't help but think about my own photography projects. One thing that I've been interested in trying is combining traditional alternative process techniques with digital methods. This could lead to some really interesting and innovative results.

I'm excited to share some of the progress I've made so far – and some surprises that are still in the works. I think you'll be surprised by how these new developments will shape the direction of my photography projects. Stay tuned for more updates on this front!

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enhey everybody Ted Forbes welcome back to the art of photography in this video I want to share with you the work of one of my favorite contemporary photographers living today and I'm speaking of Nick Brandt Nick was born in the UK today he lives in Los Angeles and he had a brief career in the early 90s as a music video director and I'll talk about all this in a second but I think he is absolutely phenomenal and does some very stunning work mainly with wildlife in East Africa and dealing also with some activism surrounding the poaching situation that's going on there so I think the best thing to do is go look at some images so without further ado this is the work of Nick Brant about ten years ago I was at a store one day shopping for a gift for my mother called world market which is not a book store anyway this book was on the shelf and had several copies and I pulled it down thumbed through it and was just stunned and amazed by these wonderful pictures of African wildlife and had no idea who Nick Brandt was bought the book took at home did further research and Nick Brandt is an incredible photographer who has a very special cause that's very dear to his heart this is the first book of a series of three there's a trilogy of these and the first one is called on this earth the second is called a shadow falls and then the third across the ravaged land so when you read all the titles together it makes more sense on this earth shadow falls across the ravaged land and Nick Brandt is a fairly young photographer I think he's in his late 40s right now and he is simply amazing he had a interesting career in the 90s directing music videos from MTV and did videos for badly drawn boy xdc Moby Michael Jackson and many others and it was actually on the shoot of a Michael Jackson video that he took his first trip to Africa which changed his life and his career path is now he no longer does music videos but it simply specializes in these beautiful black-and-white images and I want to talk a little bit about Nick I want to talk about his process and and show you this this book because his images are simply outstanding Nick it's very interesting because he does shoot a sort of hybrid process and so he actually shoots film medium format he uses a Pentax 6x7 to camera and he does not use a telephoto lens all these images are shot up close as if they are portraits of people and Nick is very much involved with cancer evasion of the poaching problem that's going on in East Africa right now and he really has centered his entire career in his life around this cause he started a foundation which is a nonprofit called the big life Foundation which tries to improve conditions and preserve wildlife in Africa and he has obviously a huge love for animals and what's interesting is the way these reflects stylistically and process-wise in his photography I mentioned that he does shoot on film but then all of his printing is done digitally so he does use Photoshop for curves dodging burning things of that nature he does not use it for you know manipulating the image beyond those basic manipulations and his work is really beautiful and if you ever get a chance to see they are inkjet prints but if you see them in person they are just visually stunning this book is very well printed too but the pictures are big when you see them in galleries and he's got a couple shows going on this year and I'll talk about those at the end of the episode here but what's interesting stylistically and compositionally what's going on here is he is using you can see you know kind of an odd blur going on around here and he has kind of I'd like to know more about it but he all I've been able to find in interviews mainly the one he didn't lens work is that he has a modified lens for his Pentax that is sort of a poor man's tilt and shift and this is there are other photographers that shoot with that as well Keith Carter comes to mind in fact I think sometimes stylistically with the high contrast imagery and then also that soft focus that Keith Carter and Nick Brandt do have a little bit in common I don't think intentionally their subject matter is completely different but both doing animals from time to time in Keith Carter's case and then full time in Nick's case but also that soft focus the high contrast and then just these beauty in these portraits you know the the back shot of the head here it really creates a lush beautiful image and what's interesting is when people go into doing what I'll refer to as activism photography one of the things that you see a lot of is shock and awe in the pictures so you're going to see more color shots of killings or poaching's of you know stuff of that nature and what Nick brand has chosen to do with his images is something completely different and his whole goal as he stated several times in interviews is to caPSURE the animals in what he calls the state of being and so because they're black and white because of the soft focus you do kind of have this retro feel that you would you know expect to see in older pictorialism work although it's not a direct copy of what was going on in the 19th century but you do have that harkening back so it's almost as if this state of being you know we don't they're timeless the animals might be gone now they might be still alive but that you know they're kind of put in a place in time and you know the other stylistic hallmarks he does and I love the way he plays with contrast on these the way you see these zebras or if you're in England you say zebras but the walking across this the desert here and the contrast where they really stand out and then this brilliant sky that's moving in you can tell he uses red filters a lot when he's shooting that's the axial way on film to get those skies you know red filtering out blue being dark to really go dark and just beautiful beautiful images but I really love the fact that what he does with with so many of these images is they're more of a portrait feel he's been compared to kind of in a wildlife version of Arnold Newman or something of that nature and and what I think is interesting about that is that because you you are able to develop kind of a personal connection with the subjects whether it be these elephants of these lions that rather than doing shocking photography to get your attention to promote a cause he establishes that relationship that develops your interest in the cause I think it's really subtly done I think it's really neat way to go about this and you know no one else I have seen do is doing wildlife work like this I mean these are just beautiful images he plays with infrared quite a bit and you know the fact that he does not use a telephoto lens on these if you stop and think about that for a minute you know that that's going to require a lot of time and a lot of patience and a lot of sitting around trying to get a shot beautiful shot this is the cover this book but this is kind of one of his hallmark images of this elephant with the dust coming off of him is simply stunning in the way that contrasts against that that dark sky again with the red filter really really nicely done there's an image it's I believe from the second book it's a portrait of a lion and he has a little bit of that tilt-shift effect on it and the wind is blowing and on Nick Brandt's website and I'll link to this in the show notes he has a whole section on called behind the image where he talks about getting some of these images and remember I mentioned he's just using standard focal lengths on here so nothing telephoto he's up close this particular image of this lion he has a backstory on on his website that he talks about where it literally he sat there with this lion spending time for about 17 days and then on the 18th day this amazing storm started blowing in and he said the lion was lying down sleeping and this this gust of wind came up in the line sat up but you know we're talking eighteen days to get one image and that is some dedication and some patience and you know a lot of these things particularly when you see photographers that are extremely skilled and have just a high level of talent like this they make it look easy like I could just go to Africa and you know I could you know get in the right place and get an elephant shot like this and that is not the case that is far from the case so these things take a long time to get in a lot of patience especially when you're working with wildlife I mean they're safety issues at play there are you know just the sheer patience of it the the timing especially on an image like this and I love this - again with the contrast the soft focus of what's going on in the landscape portion of this image but this amazing dramatic storm that's starting to blow in which is just fascinating and I think it's really interesting because you know as I mentioned Nick works with a hybrid process which I think a lot of photographers do these days particularly people who show their work online more often than printing it where you know will typically do scans of film will use applications like Photoshop to go in there and really get the image looking right and I think it's really interesting because you do not see a lot of fine art photographers that come clean about that most people because of the way the fine art market works and what you're paying for with a print there is this kind of old stigma and stereotype that they must be wet-plate they must be alternative process or it must be kind of object like for whatever reason a digital inkjet print is not of that ilk so it's hard to do serious work and get the same kind of pricing structure in the fine art world if you're not shooting like that and I love the fact that he makes no bones about it he's completely open and honest about it and it just works for him it's not about the process with Nick it's about the images that he's capturing and it's about the message that's being delivered here and that comes across when you look at these images it's amazing I will link up all of these books in the show notes all three are worth getting they're amazing and you know we've talked about books and short supply before so if you were interested in this I highly recommend you get it this was really nice as a forward and introduction written by Jane Goodall and I will put up links also to Nick's website and also to the big Life Foundation as well if you're interested in learning more about that I want to take a second give a shout-out to our sponsor today we're the awesome folks over at squarespace.com if you're not familiar with Squarespace Commons everything you need to build an amazing website blog portfolio or online store Squarespace is new tagline is build it beautiful and I don't think that that could be more true and I want to show you exactly how easy it is to build something beautiful in Squarespace so we're going to go to the computer here and as you can see here I've got to my Squarespace site that I have set up which is our composition study comm website and I want to show you how easy it is to build a gallery in here and how fast it is so what I'm going to do is I don't want this page linked up first so I'm going to go under the not link section we'll build the page then we can link it up but if I hit the plus sign Squarespace is going to bring up a little little graph here of all the options that I have and these are different content types I can do a blog post I can put a link I can make an event I can even do an album if you're recording music I'm going to go ahead and select gallery here and it's going to set up a new gallery and I'm just going to call this photo grams I have a bunch of photographs that I've created here and if I move over to my desktop here you can see that here they are it's just a folder of images and these literally just came right out of Lightroom I just made sure that they were big if I get info on one of these you're going to see that it is yeah roughly 1024 by 841 so that's big enough but I show you that because I don't have to deal with any image resizing or anything what I'm going to do is I'm going to take all these images and select them and I'm going to drag them and drop them over where it says this collection is empty click here to add your to item and I drag and drop in literally in the background you can see that it starts uploading all of my images one by one Squarespace deals with all of the resizing with making sure that they look good with making sure that they're going to look right on mobile on desktop I didn't have to code or to anything I'm done and let's say I don't like the order I mean just kind of put them in a random order let's say I want this image first you drag and drop and you move them around and you change the order it couldn't be easier and as you can see over here on the right hand side I'm getting live updating as we're going on I can also click over here on settings and I can get into some of the more the nitty-gritty of what I want this to do if I want to change the URL I can password protect this gallery that might be beneficial if some of you work with clients and you don't want to share the work publicly but you want the client to be able to get to it you set password there I can go under the Advanced column and I can get in here and do tags categories I can even inject code into the header of the page so if you are a coder and you do want to do something custom that's where you do that and it really is amazing and when I'm done all I do is hit save it allows you to go in and tweak thumbnails it allows you to deal with what the master images look like and that's as easy as it is to build a gallery in Squarespace Squarespace have a deal right now you can try everything absolutely free if you head over to their website which is squarespace.com they don't even ask for credit card just sign up for a free account and if you do decide you want to build a website I can save you 10% off your order if you use offer code a opie on checkout that is offer code a on a o P on checkout and I want to give a special shout out and thanks to the folks at Squarespace for once again sponsoring another episode of the art of photography Nick Brandt is one of the more interesting figures working in contemporary photography today I absolutely love his work but what I really love about Nick is the fact that he is not concerned as much with making a mark in the fine art world as he is with creating something that creates awareness for a cause that's very special and all the work he's doing with big life foundation and in East Africa with the poaching problem that's going on there I think he's due going about it in a really interesting way with its subtleties and I think he's absolutely amazing I will link up to his work in his website and all that good stuff below in the show notes and if you were in Europe he's got several shows he's showing right now in Finland at the Salo Art Museum and then starting in May at the photographs Club Museum in Stockholm and then next year in Moscow which will be pretty interesting - if you're in that part of the world as I keep saying on the show over and over it's one thing when you watch videos or I show you things through books but if you get a chance to see this work in person despite the fact that he prints digital inkjet images they are beautiful and he likes to print his work really big and it's amazing stuff and I really recommend you guys check it out another reason and this is a little bit of a personal note of why I chose to do Nick Brandt on the show today is with in its long explanation here but in terms of some of my own work that I want to be doing and some things that I also want to do that are going to mirror onto the show one of the things that I've been particularly interested in is getting into a little bit of a hybrid process with alternative process techniques and even using digital methods in there as well and so I've got some stuff on order through B&H and I've got some surprises in the next couple episodes and I think you guys are really going to like what we're going to be doing with all this stuff so anyway so stay tuned for more and if you enjoyed this episode please remember to like it and share it with your friends and is always subscribe to the art of photography

website and all that good stuff below in the show notes and if you were in Europe he's got several shows he's showing right now in Finland at the Salo Art Museum and then starting in May at the photographs Club Museum in Stockholm and then next year in Moscow which will be pretty interesting - if you're in that part of the world as I keep saying on the show over and over it's one thing when you watch videos or I show you things through books but if you get a chance to see this work in person despite the fact that he prints digital inkjet images they are beautiful and he likes to print his work really big and it's amazing stuff and I really recommend you guys check it out another reason and this is a little bit of a personal note of why I chose to do Nick Brandt on the show today is with in its long explanation here but in terms of some of my own work that I want to be doing and some things that I also want to do that are going to mirror onto the show one of the things that I've been particularly interested in is getting into a little bit of a hybrid process with alternative process techniques and even using digital methods in there as well and so I've got some stuff on order through B&H and I've got some surprises in the next couple episodes and I think you guys are really going to like what we're going to be doing with all this stuff so anyway so stay tuned for more and
