Todd Hido's images make me want to be born in the
60's ( 60's? 70's? not quite sure) just to be able to grow up in one of these
houses and come back 30 years later to feel that my nostalgia -for these
places/images) is justified. He takes THOSE kind of pictures. The ones that you
think of taking them whenever you are going back home at night or waking up
early morning but you think " it's too cold" or " it's not going
to be as good as it is in person" and BAAAAM he does it. His
work involves photographs of urban and suburban housing. He also has a
collection of found objects and images. His
use of light is so metimes minimal and I believe very successful. “ Homes at
night” are a series of images that, as the name states, are exteriors and
interiors at night. The images are shown
in different times of the year, day, night and weather. His use of light stays
consistent with the street light or the indoor of the homes he shoots, but the
weather conditions or the time of the night plays an interesting role in
modifying the scenario in a natural way. When shooting interiors, the source of
light may come from the technology in the room , creating an atmosphere that most of us can relate to. He also utilizes natural light from the outside revealing a particular time of the day.
