Pieter Hugo, The sex worker, Oaxaca de Juárez

Pieter Hugo is well known for his urgent portraits and everyday scenes captured at a wide variety of locations around the world. They come together to form a social “big picture” that reflects the current and radically critical everyday realities, and the complexity and inconsistency of modern-day society. One constant element in the Pieter Hugo’s work is the profound respect he has for his protagonists, whose dignity always remains intact.
