Kris Lockyear's photos with the keyword: Todd Hido

At the Taylor-Wessing Portrait Prize exhibition this year they featured photographs by Todd Hido. As I liked his portraits, I bought a book of his photographs ("Intimate distance") to discover his portraits were quite a departure from his usual style. One of his earlier collections was called "House Hunting" which is a series of quite ordinary US houses photographed at night, with one prominent lit window. He uses a unusual, unrealistic colour palette. As I had failed to take an image earlier today, I thought I would channel Todd and take an image in the spirit of his work. This image was created by using five bracketed images so that I could get both the window without blown highlights, but also the shadows of the trees in the moonlight.
