Hugo is a documentary storyteller and portrait photographer based in Amsterdam. He decided to become a photographer during a 4 months journey in southeast Asia (2000) where he was taking photos everyday. Back in the Netherlands he graduated at the Fotovakschool, specializing in reportage and portrait photography. In his work Hugo is focusing on contemporary issues with people as main topic. “Visualizing a subject in several layers and trying to find different angles to tell a story is for me the biggest challenge in photography today”. Currently Hugo is working on a story about immigrants in Dunkirk. --
