Pieter Hugo was born in Johannesburg South Africa in 1976. He is known for photographing people that are not viewed as mainstreamed. Pieter's work is known to follow the same style as Diane Arbus and August Sander.

In 2005 his work was displayed in the New York Aperture Foundation that was an exhibition that identified 50 young photographers. Pieter also won first prize for his work in the Portraits section of the 2006 World Press photo competition. Most of his work has been on exhibition in South Africa where he currently resides. http://www.pieterhugo.com/selected-work/permanent-error/permerror36.jpg/
