Todd Hido is not a street photographer in the traditional sense. His work often turns toward landscapes, interiors, and portraits, but what I have learned from him goes far beyond genre. His photographs are filled with atmosphere, memory, and emotion. Looking at them reminds me that photography is not just about what we see, but about how we feel and what we carry inside of us.

Kiarostami wasn’t just a photographer. He was a poet with a camera, a traveler with sharp eyes, and a man who turned light into truth. His photos danced between humour and heaviness, optimism and critique, beauty and brutality.

Let’s be honest, at every gallery or photo exhibition, there’s always that person casually name-dropping famous photographers. You nod politely, but inside you’re thinking: “Who on earth are they talking about?” But here’s the danger: admiration can easily turn into worship. And when you worship another photographer, you stop being yourself.
