Portugal

The Portuguese Atlantic coast offers some of Europe's most dramatic and pristine maritime landscapes. This series explores the raw power of the ocean as it meets ancient cliffs and rocky shores, capturing the timeless relationship between sea and stone. These coastal waters have supported traditional fishing communities for generations, and the series documents both the grandeur of the natural environment and the intimate human activities that depend on it. From weathered fishermen working their nets to the endless dance of waves against granite cliffs, each image tells part of the story of life shaped by the Atlantic. The light on Portugal's western shore has a unique quality - filtered by ocean mists, softened by salt air, and constantly changing with the tides and weather. Each photograph seeks to capture not just the visual drama of this coastline, but the elemental forces that have shaped both landscape and culture for millennia.
