The last breath
Inspired by the true story my dear friend Fulvio that lost her beloved wife of ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis).
ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, leading to muscle weakness, paralysis and, finally, respiratory failure.
The story of their last four years together touched me so deeply that I asked my muse Francoise if she was willing to create some images with me trying to express the pain of such experience.
It was an unbelievable experience to be in front of my camera living the moment with Francoise...
I then selected two images, this one represent the last moment together, we hug as the disease cannot separate our lives. If this one gets at least 10 stars I will also publish the second image which title is: "She is gone".
Thank you for reading

Charity auction in favour of the Colombian people
I just discovered a charity auction in favour of the Colombian people – I immediately thought, for once, to break my “vow of chastity” and to publish some images of my works that I make available for the project on my IG account.
Wherever you live you can participate in the auction and make your contribution.
If you are a model, in addition to my prints you can also make your offer to buy a photo session with me; the session, whose theme will be the "Freedom" project ( https://ugosinhache.com/projects/freedom/ ) lasts a full day and takes place on Lake Como (Italy).
To place a bid, comment my latest posts with your bid, which must exceed the previous bid:
https://www.instagram.com/ugrandolini/
The auction ends on Sunday 6 June at 11pm (European Time).
I will contact the winners of my works the following week to arrange the payment and submission details.
You can see other works at auction by following the tag #subastasolidariaxcolombia on IG – for details on how the auction proceeds will be used follow @subastasolidariaxcolombia (yes, again on IG).
Thank you!

Gerade habe ich eine Wohltätigkeitsauktion zu Gunsten des kolumbianischen Volkes entdeckt - ich dachte sofort daran, ausnahmsweise mal mein „Keuschheitsgelübde“ zu brechen und einige Bilder meiner Werke, die ich für das Projekt zur Verfügung stelle, auf meinem IG-Account zu veröffentlichen.
Wo auch immer Sie wohnen, können Sie an der Auktion teilnehmen und Ihren Beitrag leisten.
Wenn Sie ein Model sind, können Sie neben meinen Drucken auch Ihr Angebot machen, eine Fotosession mit mir zu kaufen; die Session, deren Thema das Projekt "Freedom" (https://ugosinhache.com/projects/freedom/) sein wird, dauert einen ganzen Tag und findet am Comer See (Italien) statt.
Um ein Gebot abzugeben, kommentieren Sie meine neuesten Beiträge mit Ihrem Gebot, das das vorherige Gebot übersteigen muss:

Die Auktion endet am Sonntag, 6. Juni, um 23 Uhr (europäische Zeit).
Ich werde die Gewinner meiner Arbeiten in der folgenden Woche kontaktieren, um die Zahlungs- und Einreichungsdetails zu vereinbaren.

First shooting after the COVID-19 quarantine
Mittwoch, 27.05.2020 10:00h - 18:00hComo, Italy
Italien / Europa
After my last shooting at the beginning of March with Sara (some images somewhere in this article) I took this period to go trough many shootings I did since last autumn and prepared some post-production images that I' now publishing on my web site, instagram and, of course, here on STRKNG.
It was a moment to think about what direction to move in the future and so many good things happened; soon I will be represented by a gallery in Milan and I also started to sell some images of my dolls on auction sites.
I'm so happy it is now time to start create some new images.
