Ugo Padovani

Hans Lucas

Paris, France

Having grown up in Paris, France, I am beginning to take an interest in image and its impact through the social movements that have taken place in the country in 2016. I then began working on the militant and associative circles in Paris, seeking to document lives and causes, always with the social tropism that had led me there. Attracted to life stories and light shows, I mainly work on subjects with a human dimension. Self-taught, I dedicate myself to French social news. I joined the Hans Lucas Studio in 2019, distributed in the French and international press, via a training partnership developed with the Agence Presses Jeune. Since then, I have been covering French news as well as long-term documentary subjects.
