If you are trying to create nude art which is beyond some nice curves, avoiding to objectify women, telling something about you or who you are simply looking to improve your work you are in the right place!
I’m a perfectionist, I always been, always looking for my defects, what I’m missing in my work, always trying to improve: we can always – and we have to – improve in our life. Nobody is perfect and nobody will ever be...
Recently I received a request from a photographer that is willing to start his path in the world of nude art and, as he loves my work, he wanted to check if I was available to offer him some tips about my work.
Some months ago I was thinking to organise workshops thus, after having a look at his work (that I liked), I decided to accept his request and made him an honest price – even considering I had no idea about how the video call could go and if I was somehow able to help him.
We had a quite long video call, almost three hours, and there was still a lot to say. He enjoyed so much that he even left me a review on my PurplePort page: “I enjoyed every second of it, learned a lot about photography and myself, experienced his own workflow. I can only recommend him to anyone who is interested in nude art, or any type of photography especially mono.”
A moment of my video call workshop with Tim: he is interested in buying a Fujifilm medium format camera and I was telling him about my experience with my brand new, second hand, GFX50S
With my video call workshops, now you can also learn and improving creating artistic nude: book me for a video call to talk about photography and get some inspiration to help you create your own nude art. No need to travel: you can learn while comfortably sitting on your sofa!
I charge 50 Euro (~55 US Dollars) per hour, I think this is an honest price for sharing my experience and feelings and I’m sure you will get some benefits.
Each of us is in a different place in his life, his path in the world of photography not to mention geographical barriers – that is why I’m offering video calls workshops. Here below you will find some ideas about topics we can discuss, or we can also simply “go wild” and talk about any topic you like.
A different and innovative way to offer workshops: thanks to my experience with muses I know that a one-to-one conversation is the easier way for everyone to create the connection we need for truly share knowledge.
We will use Skype for the video call – no need to install apps if you don’t like. To let you go trough what we talked about anytime you like, I will send you the recording: but please keep it for yourself!
I speak English, Italian and Spanish.
Here below you will find a list of online workshops you can book anytime and, every now and then, some workshop on location as well.
When ready to book buy the number of hours you like and I will get in touch in few hours to set the date: I can also work on Saturdays and Sundays so, if this is an hobby for you, there is no problem!
Thank you for your interest,
Ugo

How to create “emotional” images
Well I think that everyone can create emotional nude art: it is all about the creative process and what you want to share about you.
Some topics we can talk about in this workshop:
- Why are we willing to create nude art?
- Shooting or creating images?
- Models or muses: why I think it is better to work with non-professionals
- Body or soul: “objects” or human beings?
- Creating the connection
- Lingerie: do we really need it?
- What is boudoir?
- Any topic you want to talk about!
Artistic Nude In The Woods
In 2020 I realized that in order to be called a “photograph”, an image must be printed. So I started working on a project, nudeartzine, and produced more than 30 publications, 30 small monographs, each dedicated to an artist.
Thanks to this project I was able to understand things that, alone, I would never have understood.
This workshop is a new experiment, I’d like to understand if I can offer ideas, inspiration to other people, regardless of whether they already produce nude art or not.
This is why I’m not asking anything for myself, the cost will cover what the muse requested: a special woman with whom we talked about photography for several hours and in the end we decided to try to work together in a different way, starting from this “workshop experiment”.
I’ve never worked with Kim before but from what we’ve told each other, she seems to be a real muse – we are full of “models” who only sell themselves for money but who have absolutely no idea about what the art of photography is…

Endorsed by these photographers
We had a two and a half hour workshop together.
Ugo is an amazing artist and a great tutor. He gives you confidence, his criticism if any is very constructive. I enjoyed every second of it, learned a lot about photography and myself, experienced his own workflow.
I can only recommend him to anyone who is interested in nude art, or any type of photography especially mono. We will work more together in the future I am sure.
