He received a BFA in 1991 from Tufts University in Massachusetts, and an MFA from the California College of Arts and Crafts. He is now an adjunct professor at the California College of Art, San Francisco.

ROAMING

Todd Hido’s photographs are made during long, solitary drives. The main subject of his work is the American urban and suburban landscape, often photographed at night. Isolated suburban houses have gone on to become an ongoing source of inspiration and investigation for the artist.

EXCERPTS FROM SILVER MEADOWS

Celebrated for his use of textural detail and colour, Todd explores subtleties and variations in light and shadow found in these quietly unsettling scenes. “Ambiguity is one of the finest tools for making art. In my way of thinking, images should raise more questions than they answer.”

Jet Swan’s work moves between the parameters of documentary and classical portraiture as the artist revels in a cold, moody palette of blacks, greys and blues… it’s difficult not to be drawn to its significance.

ANOTHER MAGAZINE

Jet began experimenting with photography as a teenager studying dressmaking and fashion at college in Leeds, using it chiefly as a way to document new ideas. Couture also had a lasting impact on her.
A tipping point came around 2015, “I felt like I began to hone something. I started making pictures that I felt satisfied what I wanted to say”.

Her portraits are underexposed, purposefully crepuscular in palette and metaphor. She was drawn to influential portraitists: Helmar Lerski, William Mortensen and contemporaries Nadav Kander and Sally Mann.

“I like touching on a primitive, almost a child’s idea of sexuality or eroticism,” Jet says. “These very basic ideas about what ‘sexy’ is… It sometimes feels like I’m playing into this male idea of women’s bodies which I enjoy doing.”
