Pietre Hugo's work primarily works in potraiture and whose work engages with both documentary and art tradition with a focus on African communities.
During 2009-2010 Hugo photographed the people and landscape of an expensive dump of obsolete technology in Ghana. The area on the outskirts of a slum known as Angbogbloshie, is reffered to by local inhabitants as Sodam and Gomarrah, vivid acknowledgement of the profound inhumanity of the place. When Hugo asked the inhabitants what they called the pit where the burning takes place the repeatedly responded: 'For this place we have no name'.
Why like them?
Interesting photos to look at because
a description or article.
In this state the audience can only imagine suffering, loss, liberation, and transformation
This wasteland in pictures, where people and cattle live on mountains and motherboards, monitors and dscharge hard drives is far removed from the benefits accorded by the unrelenting advances of technology.

My World: Potraiture Bliss
Photo By: Palesa Mohlamme |
I have always been facinated by the view in UJ, Kingsway Campus. I took this picture during the day becuase i couldn't resist the beauty of this view, and the traffic of students near Student Centre. this photo is inspired by the everyday life that a student experiences, especially when you are fortunate and experience an amaizing view.
HI i hope you will find my blog facinating and mindblowing. i posted photos by famous photographers and i described the potraitures and how isd it an inspiration. looking forward to your response.
