Pieter Hugo - Photographer focus

Back in June last year we posted up a picture we had seen on another blog of a south African guy in half traditional dress half western throwback items, on the biggest chain you have ever seen he had a huge hyena tethered as your average badboy would have a pitbull...it echoed gangsta but in way no intentional rudebwoy wanting to look tuff could. That was a intensely moving image and here and there other similar pictures have pop'ed up so over Christmas we had a little rummage and found Pieter Hugo.

Not alot is known about Pieter apart from he is a white south African photographer who is hell bent on exposing the pain and suffering off Africa along with the interesting and bizarre. Bare rugged litter strewn landscapes, reality and bizarre seem to be the main themes along with some more harrowing subjects tackled beautifully by this master of the lens..
