Destination Couple Photography
on Portugal's West Coast
on Portugal's West Coast
This project features a romantic couple photoshoot on the stunning Praia da Bordeira (Bordeira's Beach) in Carrapateira, located on the wild coast of the Algarve, Portugal. The subjects were a couple on holiday who seized the opportunity to capture their genuine connection. The primary goal was to immortalize authentic moments and intimacy, using the scenic beach as a simple and evocative backdrop.
Embracing the weather conditions
The session took place under a grey, overcast sky, a natural constraint that was successfully turned into a photographic advantage. Instead of dramatic sunlight, the diffused light created by the clouds acted as a giant natural softbox. This resulted in an incredibly soft, flattering, and even light that perfectly highlighted the couple's expressions and connection, successfully avoiding harsh shadows.
The compositions were intentionally focused on the subjects, with the sea and the sandy beach serving as a minimal background. The images prioritize candid, emotional moments; laughter, tenderness, and shared connection.
