Here’s another great video that I really enjoyed watching. It’s photographer Todd Hido talking about his life in photography, how he’s moved through various generations as he’s continued to explore making photos. William Verbeeck made the video and did a great job with it – just letting Hido talk about his life and work.
He has one stern recommendation for young photographers in particular: print your work! He talks about how images don’t really live until they exist on paper and you can hold them in your hands.
I first came across Hido’s work when I discovered his photographs of homes at night. These photographs reminded me very much of my high school years in Daly City – foggy nights, streetlights, homes with a light in one window, etc. Hido’s nighttime images evoke those moods. He collected much of that work in his book: House Hunting.
His work is currently on display in the gallery at the Leica Store San Francisco: A Series of Small Decisions – Todd Hido | April 15 – June 8, 2023. The store is located at 463 Bush Street, San Francisco, CA 94108.
