WORKSHOP OVERVIEW: PORTUGAL'S WILD COAST

From Porto’s fiery lighthouses to Lisbon’s sunlit miradouros, this 7-day photography journey traces Portugal’s most dramatic coastline—where wild Atlantic light meets timeless human stories. We begin at Farolim de Felgueiras, capturing waves exploding against its red tower at sunset, then chase dawn’s glow on Pedra dos Gatinhos sculpted rocks.

The Art of Contrast: Sea and City

Each day unveils new contrasts: the tidal isolation of Capela do Senhor da Pedra, the adrenaline of Nazaré’s big-wave surfers (condisions premitting), and the delicate sand bridges of Baleal’s tombolo at golden hour. This workshop is a love letter to Portugal’s coastal soul. You’ll shoot Berlengas Island’s fortress ruins rising from turquoise waters, then pivot to Sintra’s misty palaces where peacocks roam through enchanted gardens.

In Lisbon, we’ll frame the city’s tiled rooftops under honeyed twilight from secret viewpoints. Weather dictates our rhythm—stormy skies add drama to lighthouses, while calm days let us focus on tidal patterns and fishing boats draped in nets.

Skills, Storytelling & Vision

Come for the landscapes, leave with a deeper vision. Whether you’re drawn to urban geometry or raw seascapes, small-group coaching ensures you’ll master both technical skills and the art of storytelling. Portugal’s coast doesn’t just inspire photos—it demands them. Are you ready to answer?
