Artist: Todd Hido
Date: 2008
Title: A Road Divided
Todd Hido has always been one of my favorite photographers. Use of natural strange color and eerie quietness are predominant in most of his photographs. He's very good at setting mood and tone and giving somewhat normal places his "feel."
I was also surprised to find that Raymond Carver's publisher requested for his photographs to be used on the covers of his books. In a way, his photographs could be described as snap shots because they are taken so quickly with little preparation, but they seem "fuller."
What I like in group discussin of series of his
ReplyDeletework. To me they are beautiful mysterious dark pieces of art of photography.
He becomes one of my favorites now! I agree with you about "he is very good at seeting mood." Even outsiade is raining, his photographs can give people a quite feeling as well.
