Hugo Félix, was born in Aveiro, Portugal. Since very early he developed the taste for this kind of art, much for his grandfather, Joaquim Félix, influence. He has taken 2 photography courses, one of photographic camera initiation and the other of dark room initiation, under the surveillance of Pedro Sottomayor. Actually, Hugo’s member of the staff of “Secção de Fotografia e Cinema do Clube dos Galitos” and he’s finishing the master degree in Electronic and Telecomunications Engineering.

Over the years Hugo has taken part in many photography contests, with some very good results, and always took part in the final expositions and saw his work published in the majority of the Portuguese photographic magazines.

He likes to photograph people and landscapes (most of them long exposed and at night), and lately Hugo’s enjoying HDR Photography and is taking sometime in developing this technique. But his biggest passion is studio photography because he “can control the light at 100% and there are always new techniques to learn” and with the help of some of his friends he mounted a small studio, where he does all his work. Late in 2007 and by the hand of his best friend in photography, Rui Vale de Sousa, he started his adventure in Micro Stock Photography and actually has almost 3000 images selling around the web in 10 different sites.

Hugo always took pictures with Canon cameras, even in analogic photography. Now, he shoots only in digital and he uses a Canon EOS 20d and a Canon EOS 5D MKII equipped with EF L 17-40 f4 USM and EF L 24-105 f4 USM lenses…
