photographers that seeks to confront photography's history of representing marginalised and disempowered people. His work aims to challenge preconceptions around the representation of groups of people 'other' to the Western European norm. Hugo's first major work ''Looking Aside'' (2006) depicts portraits of people "whose appearance makes us look aside" – the blind, people with albinism, the aged, his family and himself. Each of these portraits has the subject posed in a sterile studio setting, under crisp light against a blank background. His ''Rwanda 2004: Vestiges of a Genocide'' (2011) was described by the Rwanda Genocide Institute as offering "a forensic view of some of the sites of mass execution and graves that stand as lingering memorials to the many thousands of people slaughtered." Hugo's most recognized work is ''The Hyena & Other Men'' (2007), which has received a great deal of attention. His series ''Messina/Mussina'' (2007) was made in the town of

For ''Permanent Error'' (2011) Hugo photographed the people and landscape of an expansive dump of obsolete technology in Ghana. ''There is a Place in Hell for Me and My Friends'' (2012) depicts Hugo's family and friends from South Africa in digitally manipulated black and white portraits that aim to explore the contradictions of racial classification based on skin colour. ''Kin'' (2014) places even greater emphasis on the photographer's family and community which Hugo describes as "an engagement with the failure of the South African colonial experiment and my sense of being 'colonial driftwood'."

. The project served as the impetus for the photographic series ''1994'' (2017) which explores the post-revolutionary era in both South Africa and Rwanda through a series of portraits of children from both countries. ''Flat Noodle Soup'' (2016) chronicles Hugo's lengthy engagement with the city of Beijing, exploring how concerns with expressing personal identity within societal norms and pressures are universal and trans-national. ''La Cucaracha'' is a 2019 body of work made during four trips to Mexico over a two-year period. The photographic series explores Hugo's perception of the flamboyant and violent environment of Mexico with overt art historical references to the nation's visual canon of precolonial customs and revolutionary ideology.

Personal life

As of 2013, Hugo was married to film editor Tamsyn Reynolds, with whom he has two children.
