How Todd Hido Creates His Landscapes Photographs
This video is a visit to Todd Hido's house in Oakland, CA to discuss his latest photography project "The End Sends Advance Warning". In an exclusive interview, Todd Hiddo invites us into his world, where the interplay of light, atmosphere, and personal history shapes his artistic vision.
"For me, all photography begins with light," Hiddo explains. "The quality of light sets the stage, dictates the mood, and breathes life into the image. I'm drawn to soft, atmospheric conditions—cloudy days, snowy landscapes, and the enigmatic embrace of fog."
His affinity for soft light finds its roots in a lifelong fascination with the interplay of atmosphere and mood. "I love shooting in environments that evoke a sense of nostalgia or mystery," he muses. "There's something about the quietude of a snowy landscape or the ethereal glow of twilight that speaks to me on a profound level."
Yet, Hiddo's artistic journey extends beyond mere visual aesthetics; it delves into the realm of memory and personal history. "Photography, to me, is a medium of truth intertwined with fiction," he reflects. "Memories are fragmented, some parts sharp, others hazy. It's this juxtaposition of reality and imagination that fuels my creative process."
In the world of Ted Hiddo, every image is a testament to the enduring allure of photography—a medium that captures not only moments but the essence of the human soul.
