Pieter Hugo
For a whole year Hugo photographed a dump in Ghana and called this collection permanent error.
We as viewers can see how in this photo the waste in the background and the infertility of the earth. It is just mud and grit surrounded but waste. However there is still the farmer there with his truck and stick ready to work. This brings the photo closer to home and easier to relate to. These normal human beings like us are in these surroundings. It brings into the question as to whether this is right or moral for these people.
I like the level of physical clarity in Hugo's photos. The photos are pristine and to the best possible quality. I think this shows off the wasted lands to it's greatest potential as there is a great contrast between the messy, dirty wastelands and the pristine, clean quality of the photos themselves. I therefore feel I would like to dot he same with my photos. Keep them clear and to the best possible quality.
