Ted Orland lives in Santa Cruz, where he pursues parallel careers in teaching, writing and photography. He took up photography as a young art student working for designer Charles Eames, and in the 1970s worked as Ansel Adams assistant and as printer of Adams‘ Yosemite Special Edition Prints.
Ted was an instructor at Ansel Adams‘ Annual Summer Yosemite Workshop for fifteen seasons. He later taught fulltime at Stanford University and University of Oregon, and currently teaches Digital Photography at Cabrillo College (near his home in Santa Cruz) and leads master class workshops for independent programs nationwide.
Ted is the co-author, with David Bayles, of the best-selling book Art & Fear: Observations on the Perils (and Rewards) of Artmaking, and is author of its newly-released companion volume, The View From The Studio Door. A major selection of Ted‘s writings and images appears in his monograph Scenes of Wonder & Curiosity. Ted is also author of the history book Man & Yosemite and served as editor of The Image Continuum Journal. His other critical writings include the Introductions to the book Uelsmann‘s Yosemite, and to the catalog for the first exhibition of Sally Mann‘s At Twelve series.
Ted‘s photographs have been widely exhibited and are included in over thirty major museum collections, including those of the National Museum of Modern Art (Kyoto, Japan), the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington, D.C.) and the Amon Carter Museum (Dallas TX). Ted‘s artwork is represented by The Ansel Adams Gallery.
