Short project statement: "After a violent encounter with a group of neo-nazis at the age of 14 where Pieter Wisse was stabbed in the stomach, he decided to take a closer look at the daily life of the people who call themselves neo-nazis in former East Germany, a group of people at the edge of our society."

Photographer #254: Pieter Henket

Pieter Henket, 1979, The Netherlands, works and lives in New York. He is a self-taught portrait photographer who in recent years has photographed various celebrities. In 1999 he left for New York to study at the Film Academy but soon fell in love with the photographic medium. At a young age he managed to get an internship with the film director Joel Schumacher. The influence of cinema is easily noticed in his images. The Interrogation Project is a series in which he asked directors, actors and musicians how they would react to a police interrogation. He might be most known for the cover of Lady Gaga's first album The Fame. The following images come from the Interrogation Project and his portfolios Images and Portraits.

Photographer #002: Pieter Hugo

South African photographer Pieter Hugo, 1976, has made Africa his playground. Last year his book Nollywood came out. Pictures of actors and actresses from the third biggest film industry with a 1000 movies. The moviesets are just the surroundings. The movies are fast made and lack big budgets.

The book before Nollywood was The Hyena & other men. Pictures of a group of men that live with hyena's and baboons to earn their living. Strong men with strong animals, but there is a certain sadness to all the strongness and heroism.
