Todd Hido’s work is eerie, mysterious, somewhat disconcerting. His pictures of landscapes and home interiors convey loneliness, isolation, abandonment. Even his portraits show an unusual side of the people they depict – usually women, as they “have a wonderful ability to show their vulnerability”, Todd says. But it’s in this darkness that one can find the purest forms of beauty: nature in all its glory (the majestic landscapes of the United States), people’s honesty and emotional nakedness, or everyday details we often miss. Today, we speak with the American photographer about books, the dusk, and his future projects.
