The power of suggestion is definitely heightened by the nocturnal nature of these photographs suggesting the potential for the darker side of human activities and a range of corresponding emotions. As you say the viewer is left to add their own thoughts so although there may be no deliberate attempt at illusion they mostly have an eerie almost theatrical composition

Todd Hido's photos and approach to the medium is a retreat, IMO. Rather than venturing into new territory, technologically, aesthetically, philosophically, when photography was undergoing a huge change, and Western culture was faced with challenging questions, he took the easy route, relying on notions of landscape that had been digested long before his time. Of course this is quite popular. The popularity of his images represents the fear the photography world has about stepping into unexplored terrain. It symbolizes a retreat to the safety of the known, the familiar. His work became popular in the post 9/11 era - then, and still today in many ways, American culture (Western culture?), weary of postmodern complexity, sought out a calming culture. This is not to say that the photos aren't beautiful; rather, that may be their shortcoming. They're sort of the Hallmark cards of fine art photography.

Very interesting. I didn't know this artist before watching this. It also strikes me that there is something nostalgic about the work - the houses, furnishings, telephones, televisions, street signs, cars, etc - there is nothing that seems recent. His human subjects also seem to me either timeless or nostalgic somehow. I wonder if this helps convey the idea that in the image it is not clear that we are in the present, or at least there is nothing in the images to anchor us to the present. What do you think?

Great photographer. Bit overdone with the copycats, but those who push through and find their own unique flavour to add to onto it are often great photographers as well, as the way he’s encouraged other to look at the world and it’s natural compositions is special. It’s a net positive for so many photographers to see common scenes as so dramatized and I even still find myself wanting to leave the city and find more scenes that are objectively boring, but intriguing to look at when rendered and composed in his style.

This isn't any more genius than going out in inclement weather or photographing the high rise condo that has the one balcony with a person in the frame. To be the one that goes against the reflexive response of avoiding bad weather to go into it to take photos. Or the identical pattern that is broken of by a singular object that is still the same, but different in a stand out way. A single house at night makes you assume that it's very late and project that most people are asleep or will be staying inside until daylight comes. And combine that with one or of only a few windows that light is coming from, you get the one person assumed to be awake and active while the world is asleep and inactive. The mood and everything is apparent but I wouldn't call the one red gummy bear in a sea of yellow gummy bears genius.
