Two photos by Todd Hido

Todd Hido is a San Francisco-based artist whose work has been featured in ArtForum, The New York Times and Vanity Fair. His photographs are in the permanent collections of the Guggenheim, NYC, the San Francisco Museum, the Los Angeles County Museum and others. The editions of his books of photographs, Househunting and Outskirts, published 2001 and 2002 respectively, have both sold out.

Hido makes color photographs using available light and long exposures. His subjects are contemporary quotidian suburbia, empty of people and otherworldly, suggestive of abandonment and isolation. This very personal aesthetic stands out among those laying claim to the mantle of Walker Evans. (source)
