A hobby transformed into a full time business in February 2005 when Hugo Studio was started by Leon. Photography became the everyday life of Leon and through hard work and commitment to hight standards of success and outstanding quality, he became well known in the corporate world as a dedicated and hard worker in his field as photographer, social media - content creator and other related media. T
o date he has the privilege to be associated with many local and international brands and clients. With these clients he meets everyday people, celebrities, and presidents and has travelled the world to 17 destinations. Leon celebrates 20 years in the photography business this year and he lives for the opportunity to give back to the community that he works with every day. A good business practice he believes in is whenever you can - give back / pay forward to the community around you and in return you will receive many blessings yourself! One of these success stories is when, in Jan & Fed of 2008, 2010, 2012 and 2015, Leon help to capture visually the Irish Ray of Sunshine Foundation projects in South Africa (Missionvale) and Kenya (Mombasa), where community buildings were built for the up-lift-mend of the underprivileged, the poor, the sick and the blind by the people of Ireland.
