  • "The images from The Hyena and Other Men was really pivotal for the way I used colour in my work. While working in Nigeria on this series it was Harmatan season, a time of year when the sand from the Sahara gets blown into the air over West Africa. It creates a natural diffusion -- there are very few hard shadows and everything gets covered in a layer of sand and dust. This palate set the tone for the next few series of work I made: apocalyptic, desaturated, no hard contrast."
    —Pieter Hugo
