Last Sunday’s Observer<\/a> had an interesting piece about Pieter Hugo<\/a>, the South African photographer born in Cape Town in 1976 who won the Discovery Award<\/em> at Arles announced a few days ago for his pictures of the Hyena Men. It’s a piece worth reading for his stories about his experiences while taking the pictures and what it tells you about how he works. Its a piece that ends with a quotation from Elisabeth Biondi of the ‘New Yorker<\/em>‘: “He has a vision and he pursues it relentlessly<\/em>“.<\/p>\n

For me the pictures on his site are from Rwanda <\/em>and Messina\/Musina<\/em> are more interesting (perhaps because they work better on a small scale), but given the other pictures that were around this year at Arles<\/em><\/a> it isn’t hard to see why apparently everyone there was talking about his work – and that it won the prize, which is awarded on a popular vote.<\/p>\n

You can also now read more about the festival on the FOTO8 site<\/a>, including more pictures by George Georgiou. And don’t forget to get busy shooting those pictures of ‘8’s for the 888 Millennium Competition<\/a> – you need to send them by August 3. You can see some of the entries already on Flickr.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
