Pieter Hugo is a South African portrait and documentary photographer recognized for capturing the marginalized peoples of the continent. He lives and works in Cape Town.
Hugo is a self-taught photographer, primarily because there was nowhere to get an education in photography theory and history in Cape Town. After graduating from high school, he immediately became a practicing photographer. He subsequently participated in many exhibitions and published four monographs.
