Ugo is a Portuguese self-taught photographer, based in the Netherlands. Born in 1975, in a coastal city in southern Portugal, Portimão, he is currently living in Amsterdam. His work mirrors a universe of manifold daily observations, either with more poetic tones, or more cinematographic trails. For more than a decade he worked as a bookseller but, despite the power of words, images have always been his main way of telling stories. The enormous passion for poetry that shaped him all along was the key element that would later open doors to different ways to capture and perceive the everyday commonplaces.
