トッド・ハイドは1968年生まれ、現在はサンフランシスコを拠点に活動しています。これまでには、郊外のロードサイドに佇む住宅を夜間に撮影したシリーズ[House Hunting]（2001）、モーテルで無名のモデルたちを撮影した[BETWEEN THE TWO]（2006）車内から荒涼とした風景を撮影したシリーズ[A ROAD DEVIDED]（2010）など、多くの作品集をナツラエリ・プレスから出版しており、いずれも高い評価を得ています。
彼の作品は、一体どこなのか分からない匿名性を持ちながらも、その場所、その時間にしか存在しなかったであろう濃密な空気と時間を、そっくり写しとったような緊張感と重厚さに満ちた作品で、断片的な記憶になぜか残っている映画的なシーンのような強烈なイメージを写真に定着させています。１枚の中に物語を感じさせるこれらの美しい作品群は、アメリカの写真ギャラリー[ROSE GALLERY]で取り扱われ、グッゲンハイム美術館やホイットニー美術館、サンフランシスコMoMAなど30以上の美術館にコレクションされています。
