Todd Hido being on the channel feels like a full circle moment 100%

Great interview. Favorite quote... “Its not my job to create meaning, but to charge the air so meaning can occur” - Todd Hido

most important line at 14:58 "Print out your photographs". Made the world of difference for me once I started printing my work

100% true. You don't see it for yourself - unless you print it out. A PC screen means nothing - its nothing haptic, to see, with your own, naked eyes. I've printed some 20-30 pictures on canvas, or alu dibond from 30x20 to 120x80cm sizes during the past >2 decades for friends & family, and they like it.

“The meaning of the image resides in the viewer. Ambiguity is an amazing tool for art. You can’t control what people think. Why even try? It’s not my job to create meaning, but to charge the air so that meaning can occur.” This! 👌

He dropped a lot of gold. This was beautiful, Willem

As someone who is studying photography I feel like we don't talk about contemporary photographers enough so thank you for sharing his work, it's so beautiful!

shirt looks great too!

15:35 "The power of photography [is] to tell the truth, but equally to lie - I think that's what makes it such an interesting medium". This was articulated so accurately !

Can't believe my favorite photographer was featured on my favorite channel! Such an inspiration. No matter how many times I reread his book, I always find something new to learn and to keep me motivated. This interview was amazing!

That's fantastic, Willem! He's such an inspiration. This reminds me of one of your earliest videos on this channel I saw, in which you talked about Hido's work being an inspiration for your own photos. It also struck me how there is not a "sharp" picture shown in this whole thing, yet today's Internet is obsessed with gear reviews about how insanely sharp some latest and greatest lens is! It is so cool that you got to make this video.

This is exactly what we need more of on KZread. Thanks for sharing WIllem

This came out so nicely Willem, such a lovely piece! I’m so happy Todd was open to having you and Jimmy over to chat and shoot this, big thank you to him for sharing his perspectives and to you for the work to share this with us🥹✨

So many pearls of wisdom on this video, I need to rewatch it so I can make notes. Thank you for featuring Todd Hido 💛

Excellent interview and well put together video. I love that you just let him speak his mind at length. He's a wonderful contemporary photographer.

"I'd rather have a better book than a nicer shirt." I wish I'd realised that a long time ago.

It blew my mind when I realized his work was on a Silversun Pickups cover.

That’s how I was introduced to his work

Great interview, great insight to his work. And very important words : print your pictures. Give them physicality. Let them have the opportunity to be found, rediscovered, weeks, months, years later! I've lost thousands of photographs in the void of old hard drives, flimsy SSDs and stolen or lost phones. The printed ones are still there.

This is my favourite kind of photography video on KZread because it explores a genuine, decades-long evolution of creative inspiration and gives some insight into a masters approach to their art. There’s definitely a place for early-career photographers discussing their profession and inspiration but this sort of interview just hits different. Amazing work, I hope to see much more like this from your channel!

What a spectacular insight. Many thanks for sharing.

Thank you for making this, Willem. Wonderfully made.

I really appreciate this interview. Thanks for making it.

This is fantastic, very well put together

Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Willem! ...and Todd, obviously

I like his joy in photography (and also his pictures). 👏👏

thank you so much for this interview! just discovered todds work a few months ago and was super happy to learn more about his work process!

"i would rather have a nicer book, than a nicer shirt", felt that. very beautiful video and just when i thought it could not get any better you finish it off with the soundtrack of tokyo sonata!? wow!

This was such a beautiful Interview. What a milestone for you meeting him as well! :)

Beautiful. Meaningful. Thoughtful. Love this video so much - awesome work by Todd Hido, and you too Willem.

Amazing! been waiting for this one thank you!

Fantastic video about the Art and Soul of Photography. Thank you !

A true inspirational Master! Thanks for sharing this interview.

Full circle, congrats and thank you Willem !

What a brilliant video, a wonderful ramble along Todd's career and work with a treasure trove of nuggets of wisdom interspersed along the way! Thank you.

What an interview, such an inspiring guy! Thanks for sharing this Willem!

Such an insightful and interesting video, this is great. Thank you so much.

One of the best photography related videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you for this. More like this would be awesome

This is beyond excellent (for me); thank you Willem!

This is so special Willem, I could listen to Todd talk forever! Thanks

Such a helpful interview. I took so much from this. Thank you for bringing such an incredible photographer to us.

Thanks so much for this. Fascinating storytelling and impactful images. Love the mysterious and eerie imagery of Todd Hido. Unique.

Amazing video Willem, thank you for producing such an inspirational interview !

Thank You! This is indeed filled with nuggets of gold. It is a tremendous shot of inspiration for me at this point in my world. I will watch & listen to this many more times!

Thanks for this interview!

Thanks, Willem, for introducing me to Todd Hido’s work. Bought the book in a heartbeat - I’m so intrigued by the title as well.

Amazing & Greatly Inspiring, Thank you! 💯

Thanks, Willem, for doing this and putting it out into the world. Such a fascinating listen.

Wow that was a great interview! I'd never heard Todd speak before. He has so many interesting ideas. Thank you!

so beautifully done

This was an amazing video. Very inspiring 👏

Fantastic video,inspiring.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT THIS POPPED UP IN MY KZread FEED FIRST! I KNEW OF HIS WORK PRIOR... BUT HEARING HIM TALK ABOUT HIS WORK PUT IT ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL!!!!💯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

This interview blew my mind. Such inspirational, unconventional imagery. Truly beautiful art. Thank you for doing this interview. Subscribed.

Thanks for sharing. Wasn’t familiar with Todd’s work. An amazing artist with a wonderful approach. Very quotable, too! 👍👍

Soo many good lines. Lots of wisdom!

Amazing interview!

Crazy! Congrats man!

wow this made me emotional. so beautiful!

Wow, i really adore Todd's work, and even made some pictures, with his thoughts into mind, means...the loneliness, the ghostly atmosphere. I love this mood. uncertain. mystic. eerie. haunted..at times.

Waaawww....He is like the final boss of walls and backyard photography!

I deeply adore his work, it has such a fantastic unique feel. I would never be able to replicate it but when i first saw his work a couple of years ago i was enamored.

What a great watch and interview It was very interesting to hear Hiddo's thoughts on photography and the vernacular. "Pleasures and terrors of domestic comfort" is one of my favourite publications. ".... to photograph on top of the mountain one must climb it , to photograph in the home one must be invited" forever changed my approach to photography .

FULL CIRCLE 🙌🖤

Very well done piece of work. Hope to see more of these!

Incredible.

what a fucking incredibly inspiring interview. thanks Willem and Todd

This is sooo goooood! 🤌✨✨

Great Interview!

This was ABSOLUTELY fascinating! Most every photographer I've seen is a sunrise to sunset photographer. He's the only dedicated 3rd shift inclement weather photographer I've ever seen! Totally different!

So good!

I remembered his phrase: "When there is no sun, when there is no blue sky. That's why I mostly shoot at night." And thank you for the interview!

This was great!

Love Todd Hido’s work! Great video 👏🏾 I was able to see his gallery that’s up at the Leica Store in LA.

Soooo cool Willem congrats!

Excellent video Willem - this makes me proud to know of you. Your work is excellent but it speaks volumes when you promote someone else. It shows that your heart is in the photography arts rather than selfishness

Crazy to see. His work was the first photography that I really looked at. Definately got me into the hobby in a serious way

“Sometimes it’s hard to talk about landscape pictures because if I was a “word person”, I wouldn’t even need to make them” Thank you Todd Hido

Two legends ❤️ 🎞️

so you talk and show examples (pictures) what an idea? I am inspired ! Great teaching video. Chance Eye And camera in that order.

100% about printing your photos. It's very powerful.

beautiful
