Todd Hido

I really liked the video for Nick Caves Love Letter that I posted the other day. You think of William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Alec Soth and others. Photography with a quiet voice


Flicking around today and came across Todd Hido




I'm Pretty sure I've seen his work before*  but I could be wrong





Anyway, I like it.


*Maybe in someone else's

  2. There's something about the portraits that I'm not feeling. Maybe the gaze is just too male, on the flip side Jen Davis's "I ask in Exchange" has a female gaze but works much better.

    I think actually that he describes people much better when they're not there
