WORKSHOP OVERVIEW & PHILOSOPHY
After living in the Algarve, I’ve discovered that its true soul lies in the "quiet ritual" of the Atlantic. This 7-day journey is designed to take you beyond the postcards and into the raw, unvarnished beauty of the Costa Vicentina and the Alentejo.
The Algarve, Untamed
Based in Sagres, we’ll immerse ourselves in this wild coastline’s rhythms, chasing light from dawn’s first glow on Ponta da Piedade’s sea caves to the moment twilight sets the cliffs of Praia da Cordoama aflame. Here, every cove tells a story, and our single-base approach lets us pivot with the winds to find the day’s most luminous scenes.
Advanced Skills & Vision
When night falls and skies clear, we’ll train our lenses upward—this is one of Europe’s last Bortle 3 zones, where the Milky Way arcs over deserted beaches like a celestial bridge. You’ll leave not just with striking images, but with the instincts to chase light and tell powerful stories wherever your lens takes you next.
