My name is Hugo Amendoeira, but i sign my works as Hugo Só (Alone). The idea of creating a pseudonym even came in college when a teacher “baptized" me, a joke that still remains today. Later, in photography, because for me this is an art that makes me lose in time and traveling a path in the world, mostly solitary, influenced the choice.
The arts in general have always a major role in my life, especially when I started to have eyes to see and feel what surrounds me. Due to my professional área, architect, the image is a significant part of my work and how I can expose and show it to others.
Later, in 2011, comes the opportunity to get my first DSLR, to increase the quality of images and presentations, but there to photograph everything around me that causes sensations emerged quickly. I signed up in various sites or groups for sharing and being criticized, I bought several books and magazines for theoretical foundations, swapped shares with other photographers and I never stopped.
What was a tool turned a passion and, today, Photography is a significant part of my life and it’s how I express my view of the world, in this sense I think we all do the same when we create a picture, but this is my, my world.
