Massive thank you to Todd Hido, Keith Cullen, Chris Pichler and Jimmy McAteer
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
with an enlarger
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
I love that “I’d rather have a better book than a nicer shirt”
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!
I hadn‘t even thought about it, but you‘re right!
Right... I have searched and searched... A small Voice and Sasha wolf channel is it
This is exactly what we need more of on KZhead. Thanks for sharing WIllem
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 !
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.
So many pearls of wisdom on this video, I need to rewatch it so I can make notes. Thank you for featuring Todd Hido 💛
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🥹✨
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!
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.
This is my favourite kind of photography video on KZhead 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!
It blew my mind when I realized his work was on a Silversun Pickups cover.
Lol same here.
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.
One of the best photography related videos I've seen in a long time. Thank you for this. More like this would be awesome
Congratulations on this interview!
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.
This is so special Willem, I could listen to Todd talk forever! Thanks
"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!
Thanks so much for this. Fascinating storytelling and impactful images. Love the mysterious and eerie imagery of Todd Hido. Unique.
Thank you for making this, Willem. Wonderfully made.
Thank you so much Willem, I needed that. Amazing work
Thanks, Willem, for doing this and putting it out into the world. Such a fascinating listen.
This interview blew my mind. Such inspirational, unconventional imagery. Truly beautiful art. Thank you for doing this interview. Subscribed.
This was such a beautiful Interview. What a milestone for you meeting him as well! :)
I really appreciate this interview. Thanks for making it.
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!
Truly inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Willem! ...and Todd, obviously
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
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!
So well put together. Many interesting thoughts. I love Hido's work. Thank you!
What an interview, such an inspiring guy! Thanks for sharing this Willem!
Beautiful. Meaningful. Thoughtful. Love this video so much - awesome work by Todd Hido, and you too Willem.
“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
Actually amazing. Congrats and thank you for the wonderful interview!
A true inspirational Master! Thanks for sharing 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.
Full circle, congrats and thank you Willem !
Wow that was a great interview! I'd never heard Todd speak before. He has so many interesting ideas. Thank you!
Such a helpful interview. I took so much from this. Thank you for bringing such an incredible photographer to us.
Amazing video Willem, thank you for producing such an inspirational interview !
This is beyond excellent (for me); thank you Willem!
I like his joy in photography (and also his pictures). 👏👏
Love your work and your way of thinking photography. Very inspirational
Wonderful perspective and insight. Thank you for sharing.
Fantastic video about the Art and Soul of Photography. Thank you !
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!
So inspirational!! Great interview Willem
Amazing! been waiting for this one thank you!
I AM SO HAPPY THAT THIS POPPED UP IN MY KZhead FEED FIRST! I KNEW OF HIS WORK PRIOR... BUT HEARING HIM TALK ABOUT HIS WORK PUT IT ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT LEVEL!!!!💯🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
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!
very inspiring...so glad I found this...
What a spectacular insight. Many thanks for sharing.
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.
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.
Thanks for this interview!
Such an insightful and interesting video, this is great. Thank you so much.
FULL CIRCLE 🙌🖤
Amazing & Greatly Inspiring, Thank you! 💯
What a wonderful and interesting video! Thank you!
This was an amazing video. Very inspiring 👏
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 .
Waaawww....He is like the final boss of walls and backyard photography!
Thank you for this.
Thanks for sharing. Wasn’t familiar with Todd’s work. An amazing artist with a wonderful approach. Very quotable, too! 👍👍
Very well done piece of work. Hope to see more of these!
Wonderful video. Thank you, Wiilem.
Crazy! Congrats man!
Soo many good lines. Lots of wisdom!
so beautifully done
what a fucking incredibly inspiring interview. thanks Willem and Todd
Crazy to see. His work was the first photography that I really looked at. Definately got me into the hobby in a serious way
Fantastic video,inspiring.
Great Interview!
Love Todd Hido’s work! Great video 👏🏾 I was able to see his gallery that’s up at the Leica Store in LA.
wow this made me emotional. so beautiful!
Ok this was Oh so good thnx for this, very inspiring and very well made
This is sooo goooood! 🤌✨✨
So good!
Great vid! Wish I had seen this before the Leica show. I think I would have appreciated his work more as I hadn't really looked at his direction. Thanks for the better insight.
100% about printing your photos. It's very powerful.
I think a little nugget that hit me was "I think it's hard to talk about [landscape] pictures because if I was a word person, I wouldn't even need to make them". I feel like this was maybe unintentionally deep lol. This is an aspect that has kept me wanting to photograph through tough times. I feel like there have been a lot of times where something has made me feel a certain way and I want to share that feeling so badly with others but it feels impossible through words alone.
This was great!
i wish there was a 10h version of this interview
This is amazing
Greate interview ❤
this could've been twice as long and it would've flew by, so many good bits in here
beautiful
Two legends ❤️ 🎞️
Bar after bar... great vid.
Spent the first 25 years of my life in Kent Ohio, also made my way out west, that was cool to hear
Love this!
Soooo cool Willem congrats!
Excellent !
been waiting for this one
Wonderful Video !
Fantastic
