Pieter Hugo ~ The Hyena & Other Men

A few years ago, photographer Pieter Hugo of Cape Town, South Africa came out with a striking portrait series titled ‘The Hyena & Other Men‘. The portaits were of a group of men in Lagos, Nigeria that kept Hyenas as pets, like dogs on chains. Hugo toured with them for 8 days and produced some startling portraits which quickly spread through the web, resulting in several gallery shows and a book.
