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

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

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

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

[bryanmercado]

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!

[teocrawford]

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🥹✨

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.

“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! 👌

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!

[JesseDeyoung]

I love that “I’d rather have a better book than a nicer shirt”

[cinelline]

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 !

[magiafilms]

Man, thanks for this interview! Todd Hido is a phenomenal artist.

[letitiabruintjies]

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

[MitchLally]

This is exactly what we need more of on Youtube. Thanks for sharing WIllem <3

[igorculture]

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!

[TommyGrisselFilms]

“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

"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!

[AnnaAnna-enuy]

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.
