Todd Griggs discovered photography in his mid-20s, drawn to it not as a trend but as a means to capture he’s travels around the world.
What began with digital evolved into a deep love for film — 35mm and 120 — where the process feels honest, deliberate, and grounded. For Todd, photography is never about chasing the perfect shot. It’s about capturing what naturally appears through his stream of consciousness — what he sees is what he sees through the lens.
Inspired by travel, nature, people, and art, his work is shaped by the quiet influence of female photographers like Olive Cotton, Imogen Cunningham, and Sally Mann. He’s equally drawn to the surreal and sensual energy of artists like Man Ray, Edward Weston, and Bill Brandt. Their vision helped him form his own — one rooted in simplicity, emotion, and restraint.
Todd shoots with purpose. He doesn’t waste frames. Photography is part of his life, not something that overtakes it. It’s a way of connecting, staying present, and holding onto fleeting moments that speak louder than words ever could.
