I have been doing some self-portrait projects where I pose with tights. In the scenario I aimed to portrait the contrast of a hetero male wearing his gothic/metal clothes in conjunction with some women tights. When I converted the image to black and white, it also gave some of the vibe of Nobuyoshi Araki’s self-portraits.

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.
