Todd Hido (b.1968, Kent, Ohio) is an American contemporary artist and photographer. Currently based in San Francisco, much of Hido’s work involves urban and suburban housing across the U.S., of which the artist produces large, highly detailed and luminous color photographs.
"Hido's photographs reveal isolation and anonymity in contemporary suburbia. Eerily lit rooms and suddenly abandoned homes increase the effect of loneliness and loss."
With Hido’s work, he plays on the voyeurism but it’s dignified in the sense that he’s far enough from the people to not actually see into the houses but close enough to let the viewer question - what type of people live there, what do they do, what are their worries, their troubles and their pleasures.
