I tell them I drive around. I drive and drive and I mostly don’t find anything that is interesting to me. But then, something calls out. Something that looks sort of off or maybe an empty space. Sometimes it’s a sad scene. I like that kind of stuff. So I take the photos and some are good. And so I keep driving and looking and taking pictures. BIO Todd Hido (born in Kent, Ohio, 1968) wanders endlessly in search of imagery that connects with his own memories. Through his unique landscape process and signature color palette, Hido alludes to the quiet and mysterious side of suburban and rural America—where uniform communities provide for a stable façade—implying the instability that often lies behind the walls.  His photographs are in over 50 museum collections around the world, including the Getty, the Whitney, and the SFMOMA, and Les Rencontres d'Arles featured his work in solo exhibitions in 2019 and 2025. Hido has published more than a dozen monographs, including House Hunting, Roaming, Bright Black World, and Excerpts from Silver Meadows. Aperture published Intimate Distance: A Chronological Survey, with a revised and expanded edition released in 2025 in English, French, and Spanish. His cinematic approach to landscape photography evolved further through his two most recent monographs: Bright Black World and The End Sends Advance Warning. Hido is also an avid photobook collector, and over three decades has created a notable collection of over 9,000 titles. His work has influenced multiple Hollywood productions, including Spike Jones's Her, Sam Levinson's Euphoria, Issa López's True Detective: Night Country, and Jason Momoa's directorial debut Chief of War. He also appears as a subject in On The Roam, Momoa's HBO Max documentary on creative makers. www.toddhido.com Nazraeli Press Nazraeli Press was founded by Chris Pichler in Munich, Germany in 1990.
