While studying for his Master's in photo-reportage at the John Kaverdash Academy in Milan, Nicola Ughi made the decision to become a corporate photographer.

His professor showed him a beautiful portrait - 'The man with the bricks' by August Sander, a German photographer from the 20s - and Nicola fell in love with it, deciding that portraiture must be one of the main skills of his profession.

Today, Nicola shoots many portraits for business purposes as well as individual clients. "I consider it one of the best ways to fix the identity of a person," he says.
