I had a very good session, time and experience in Como with Ugo last week.

We decided on the dates almost 2 years ago and my life changed drastically in the mean time, but Ugo adapted perfectly to the situation and to my lack of written communication.

We did not plan in advance, once we agreed on the locations and style there was a lot of space for improvisation. Being in the moment is crucial for me to express myself in freedom and confidence, but it doesn’t work with anyone: it was made possible by Ugo, his professionalism, his creativity and his true personality.

It was a conversation from an artist to another and I’m going home with more than a modelling experience.

Thank you for allowing this.

Cette semaine en compagnie d’Ugo fût une expérience incroyable et enrichissante.
Il a fallu presque un an pour concrétiser ce formidable projet entre nos premiers échanges par écrit sur les réseaux sociaux, le videocall et mon arrivée à Côme.
J’ai tout de suite adhéré à sa vision artistique et souhaité collaborer avec lui. Son talent n’a d’égal que sa créativité et son accueil chaleureux et bienveillant, ainsi que son enthousiasme ont enrichi ma vie de souvenirs irremplaçables !
Merci Ugo pour ton professionnalisme, ta générosité, tes précieux conseils et ton écoute. Merci de m’avoir accordé cette merveilleuse opportunité de créer ensemble. Je reviendrai avec grand plaisir.
Avec toute mon amitié,
Cat


This week with Ugo was an incredible and enriching experience.
It took almost a year to make this great project a reality between our first written exchanges on social networks, the videocall and my arrival in Como.
I immediately adhered to his artistic vision and wanted to collaborate with him. His talent is matched only by his creativity and warm and benevolent welcome, as well as his enthusiasm, have enriched my life with irreplaceable memories.
Thank you Ugo for your professionalism, your generosity, your valuable advice and your listening. Thank you for giving me this wonderful opportunity to create together. I will come back with great pleasure.
With all my friendship,
Cat

Je tenais à t’adresser ces quelques mots pour te remercier du fond du cœur.
Notre rencontre, d’abord à travers un écran lors de notre première Visio, a tout de suite été marquée par une belle connexion. Malgré la distance, j’ai senti ta passion, ton professionnalisme et ta gentillesse.

Puis il y a eu ce séjour en Italie. Quatre jours intenses, riches en échanges, en rires et en créativité. Travailler à tes côtés pendant ces longues heures de shooting a été une expérience unique, et j’en garde des souvenirs précieux. Grâce à toi, ces moments ont pris une dimension particulière, à la fois artistique et humaine.

Merci pour ton accueil, ta générosité et ton regard si inspirant. J’espère que nos chemins se recroiseront bientôt pour de nouvelles aventures.

I wanted to send you these few words to thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Our meeting, initially over a screen during our first video call, was immediately marked by a wonderful connection. Despite the distance, I felt your passion, your professionalism, and your kindness.

Then came that trip to Italy. Four intense days, rich in exchanges, laughter, and creativity. Working alongside you during those long hours of shooting was a unique experience, and I have precious memories of it. Thanks to you, these moments took on a special dimension, both artistic and human.

Thank you for your welcome, your generosity, and your inspiring outlook. I hope our paths will cross again soon for new adventures.

Thank you Ugo for giving me the opportunity to be creative, free and myself.

You made me feel so comfortable and let me go with the flow during our intense and artistic sessions.

I’m so grateful to have collaborated with a photographer like yourself. You are a trustworthy, fun and ingenious collaborator to work with.

Without a doubt, I would recommend you to all models and photographers. I was looking forward to this shoot from the very beginning. Beyond your distinctive creativity, you are very professional during the whole process. Your professionalism and creativity deserves to be recognized and awarded.

I will remember this fruitful experience forever.

In all this, I boosted my confidence, expanded my artistic mind and enriched my knowledge in photography, art and modelling thanks to you.

But most of all, I feel I met a long lost friend. I felt your energy and probably thats why I felt so free to engage and create with you. Time flies when we’re having fun!

I have been modeling for over 2 years and have met numerous photographers. Ugo is one of a kind and by far, the best photographer I have ever worked with.

I hope to collaborate with you again.
Thank you for your time and sharing your imagination with me.
Go raibh maith agat!

Nunca antes había posado para un fotógrafo y por este motivo no pensé que pudiera expresar mi libertad de la manera en la que pude hacerlo mientras Ugo tomaba cientos de fotos de mí. La confianza surgió de una manera inesperada para mi y pude liberarme y disfrutar al máximo el sentirme bella.

Tuve la suerte de poder apreciar el profesionalismo y la creatividad de un gran fotógrafo que se dedicó durante dos dias de una manera increible a mí y a nuestras sesiones. Revisábamos las fotos hechas y al verlas me sorprendía de la belleza y magia de éstas.

Muy respetuoso durante las sesiones, Ugo siempre estuvo muy pendiente de que yo me sintiera a gusto y segura.

Gracias Ugo, aportaste en gran medida a mi forma de verme a mi misma y descubrir una belleza que antes no había visto.

I had never posed for a photographer before and for this reason I didn’t think I could express my freedom the way I could while Ugo took hundreds of photos of me. Confidence arose in an unexpected way for me and I was able to free myself and enjoy feeling beautiful to the fullest.

I was lucky to be able to appreciate the professionalism and creativity of a great photographer who dedicated himself for two days in an incredible way to me and our sessions. We reviewed the photos taken and when I saw them I was surprised by their beauty and magic.

Very respectful during the sessions, Ugo was always very attentive to making sure I felt comfortable and safe.

Thank you Ugo, you contributed greatly to the way I see myself and discovered a beauty that I had not seen before.

Myslím, že známkování Ugovy práce patri někomu jinému. Mohu jen říct, že od první vteřiny, co jsme se potkali, jsem se díky němu cítila velmi blízko a cítila jsem se jako část jeho rodiny. Na modelce mu záleží, cítí se díky němu pohodlně, krásně, jedinečně a to je to, co mě přimělo strávit pohodový, plný a po všech stránkách klidný den. Myslím, že v tomto bodě vyčnívá jako profesionální fotograf a to se na jeho práci projevuje. Za to všechno a ještě víc, mockrát děkuji.

I think that qualifying Ugo’s work is the task of others. I can only say that since the first second we met, he has made me feel very close and loved by him. He cares about the model, it makes her feel comfortable, beautiful, unique and this is what has made me spend a relaxed, full and calm day in all aspects. I think that at this point he stands out as a professional photographer and that is perceived in his work. For all that and more, thank you.
