Pieter Hugo – Nollywood

February 9, 2009

Pieter Hugo who became well known through his books such as “The Hyena and other man”  shot a new series that I like very much – “Nollywood” . He photographed actors and actresses in Nigeria where the 3rd largest movie industry (after Hollywood and Bollywood… )is located.

The series will be published in book form by Prestel in October 2009 – will buy it for sure!

Find more interesting informations on the project on his gallerists webiste here or by clicking the screenshot below.

By the way, Hugos website was updated recently, there are some ineresting new portraits there. In another blog I read that Hugo used to work together with Stefan Ruiz at Colors Magazine – no wonder I like both so much!
