About the instructor
Ugo Milano
Ugo Milano (b. 1992, Rome) is a photographer and visual researcher whose practice moves between documentary, literary and research-based approaches. He studied Foreign Literature, English and German, at the University of Naples Federico II and the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen.
His photographic work explores the relationship between places, stories, memory and ways of seeing, with a particular interest in how the extraordinary can emerge from everyday life. His background in literature strongly informs his approach to photography and visual storytelling. He has explored street photograpy for 8 years before dedicating himself to a more lyrical documentary approach.
Since 2019, his work has been recognised through opportunities including the FIAF Talent Scout selection, the Canon Student Development Program, and a scholarship at the Jack London School of Photography and Literature. His projects have been exhibited and published in Italy and internationally.
Alongside his personal photographic practice, Ugo has several years of experience teaching photography through workshops, on platforms like Superprof.de, GetYourGuide, Airbnb, including street photography workshops in Naples, where participants work on observation, shooting, editing and the development of their own photographic projects.
