Todd Hido, Homes at Night

Todd Hido’s photographs are made during long, solitary drives. The main subject of his work is the American urban and suburban landscape, often photographed at night.

 

Celebrated for his use of textural detail and colour, Hido explores subtleties and variations in light and shadow found in these quietly unsettling scenes. Isolated suburban houses have gone on to become an ongoing source of inspiration and investigation for the artist. His work has a cinematic quality, reproducing the aesthetic of the film still. The artist brings these expressive, eery qualities to his photographs of unpopulated interiors which explore similar themes to his landscape work.
