Juror

#2621 © Todd Hido courtesy Bruce Silverstein Gallery

This year’s guest juror is celebrated photographer Todd Hido. First attracting the attention of the art world for his portfolio Housesitting in ArtForum (May 1998), Hido has since become one the most distinctive and inspired image-makers in contemporary photography.

Hido’s landscapes and portraits examine themes of anonymity and isolation in American life. Shooting with available and low light, often with long exposures, his pictures are heavily infused with mood and tension without straying towards sentimentality.

Hido has been exhibited widely with over 30 solo exhibitions in commercial galleries and museums. His work is held in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the George Eastman House and many other public and private collections.

He has also authored numerous books of his photographs including the celebrated monographs House Hunting (2001), Roaming (2005), and A Road Divided (2010).

Hido is represented by Bruce Silverstein Gallery and teaches photography at California College of the Arts, San Francisco, California.
