“I capture the inner light of human beings”
Bio
Self-taught, Ugo started creating images in 2017 after over 30 years in the software industry.
Ugo believes that an image is not a photograph until it is printed so he soon starts working at several projects to produce printed books of his and other artists’ work.
He produced a series of 30+1 volumes with a magazine cut, the “nudeartzine” project. Each issue is a monograph dedicated to a photographer and his own vision of nude art and includes an introduction written by Ugo about the work of the artist.
Ugo is always looking to grow, to learn how to create a book that can tell a story he start the “Appunti di viaggio” (traveling notes) project. Each issue talk about a story of a person and includes an introduction about that person written by Ugo as well as texts written by the subject.
After his books are banned by Amazon, Ugo decides to print everything in studio, he produces the first “Collector Box”: a semi-transparent plastic box including a series of 18 images and produced as limited editions.
To underline that images become photographs only after they are printed Ugo changes his social presence: after closing his old Instagram profile, he creates a new one showing digital negatives.
So far Ugo has received several awards from the 1x.com website and a nomination in the One Shoot Photo Contest in the “Conceptual Photography” category.
