Pieter Hugo takes passport-style photos of South Africans whether black, white or albino. More of his work is available on his own website. I love his "The Hyena & Other Men" series.

  • Intense, vivid, unflinching, thought-provoking. The really arresting thing is the humanity. Great stuff.
  • Yeah the Hyena series is something else.
  • fascinating.. all I could think was "We're not in Kansas any more!" And, I don't think I realized how large a Hyena is...!
  • That is an amazing photo series. The hyena prints just leave me speechless and far overshadow his other photos. Hyenas are not something I'd like to meet in a dark alley. More about Crocuta crocuta.
  • I never realized how big they were. On the nature shows you never see a hyena and a human in the same frame.
