"Famed for his ecstatically poised portraits, South African photographer Pieter Hugo has spent his career photographing fringe communities in series that have both garnered acclaim and courted controversy. His latest work, Californian Wildflowers, documents the homeless communities that reside in the Tenderloin neighbourhood of San Francisco. Displayed in an exhibition at Jonathan Carver Moore Gallery and published in an accompanying monograph by TBW Books, the project shines a vibrant and dignified light upon victims of the 2008 recession, war veterans, and individuals suffering with mental health illnesses in one of the richest cities in America."
