Todd Hido, 1968, is an American photographer. He is well known for his night photography of houses. Although they have a spooky and lonely feel to them, there is a sense of looking into the lifes of someone. The photographs have a link with Gregory Crewdson's photography, but then without the props, actors and insanely expensive lighting.
Apart from the photographs of houses and interiors, he masters portraiture aswell. To see how Todd works, watch the video below.
Great idea with this blog! And nice photos by Todd Hido - the one at the bottom right is marvelous. I'm looking forward to see who else you will feature on your blog.
What an amazing roundup you have here! Most of these photographers are people I look up to when I take photos and I realized that it's not very easy to have your own style!
Have recently found your site but it has taken me a while to absorb what you have put together. Great work. Congratulations. I think Todd Hido's photography is really edgy
The target of this website is embedded in its name; to post active image-makers until we reach 500 photographers. The photographers can be from any discipline within the photographic range, but they have to be worth looking at and have a certain level of quality. When we get to number 500, we will have a deep database of great photographers.
500 photographers is done by Pieter Wisse, a photographer himself based in Rotterdam, NL. For three years (2009-2012) he was the founder and owner of Four Eyes Photography & Art, a gallery and bookstore based in his hometown that also released Four Eyes Photography Magazine.
Once this website reaches photographer #500 it will be finished and done. It will then only be here with the function of being an archive of amazing photographers of the 21st century.
Support 500 Photographers
500 Photographers needs your help. 500 Photographers has become close to a fulltime job and is truly a pleasure to make. However, it does not generate any income and the financial situation has become a worry. Your donation and support would be of great help for this project.
You can support the project by buying my book or just by donating an amount to your choice. I will be forever grateful. Thank you for reading this statement.
Suggestions
Do you have a suggestion for this list? Are you a photographer and you want to suggest yourself?
Do you want a tailor-made 500 Photographers projection at your photography event or are you interested in creating an exhibition? Do you need a curator or editor for a book, magazine or any other publication? Do not hesitate to contact me.
I am also available for portfolio reviews and lectures. Is there any other way you think we can work together, let me know!
Photography book by Pieter Wisse
During the last 50 photographers of 500 Photographers we have a special offer. Not €29,95 but only €18,50. Order your signed copy of the photography book 'I Believe in 88' by Pieter Wisse here. After a violent encounter with a group of neo-nazis at the age of 14 where Wisse was stabbed in the stomach, he decided to take a closer look at the daily life of the people that call themselves neo-nazis in former East Germany, a group of people at the edge of our society.
