During the lock-down most of the models where unavailable or restrictions were in place preventing many photographers of doing their hobby and take people photography. In my case i just decided to jump in front of my camera and start doing self-portraiture. This also helped my overcome my camera shyness. Nowadays I may find some accessories that i think they would look nice in a picture and I will explore that idea and by the end I do have a greater sense of accomplishment, since I do have to pick an outfit, do the make-up and setup lights and backgrounds by myself.

Although Hugo enjoys and has other projects in Still-Life photography, his focus remains mainly on Portrait, Nude-Art, Fashion and Lifestyle photography. For him, doing people photography is about capturing the person’s essence, building a trust connection between him and the model. During the COVID-19 lock-downs, Hugo got himself in Self-Portrait photography, exploring ideas, experimenting with clothes, accessories and make-up. In this is has found a new scope of ideas, has lost the camera shyness and has more room to explore his creativity.
