Coastal Photography Adventures

I spent two weeks along the Portuguese coast with nothing but my camera and a rental car. The mission: capture the dramatic meeting point of land and sea.

The Golden Hours

Sunrise at Praia da Ursa was worth every minute of the 4 AM alarm. The way the light painted the sea stacks gold and pink is something I'll never forget.

Unexpected Moments

The best shots often came unplanned. A fisherman mending nets at sunset. Storm clouds rolling in over Nazaré's famous waves. A lonely lighthouse emerging from morning fog.

The Gear That Mattered

After years of carrying too much, I've learned that a single versatile lens often beats a bag full of options. My favorite shots from this trip were all taken with one 35mm prime.
