Haider, creates emotion through a vast body of work in touch with Americana, youth, rebellion, and the aftermath.
As a child growing up in the farm town of Boring, Oregon, Haider was handed a 1970's Canon AE-1 early on. The authenticity of understanding story telling whether it be documentary or a styled narrative naturally took root from being exposed to places and individuals in his younger years growing up in a motorcycle shop and hitting the road for months at a time during the summer.
"Those years of sleeping in the back of a pickup truck bed in twenty degree weather while it was snowing and my grandmother throwing a bag of bullets into the campfire have never left me. The photography I capture is an extension of life expressed by its subjects and surroundings." Like an oil painter's landscape Haider, chooses to preserve a moment in time that creates a narrative to influence imagination.
