Classic moments!
Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal has giant waves and perfect 10-foot barrels.
Equilibrium.
A state in which weight is spread so that nothing falls over.
A different perspective.
Sometimes you need to look at life from a different perspective.
Love and Dead "Costa da Morte"
I love to photograph big and hollow waves, but, in this session, I was scared to death. Imagine surfing them!
BIG Monday.
The iconic photo of Garrett McNamara riding what everyone called the "100-foot wave", likely the world's biggest wave ever surfed, at Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal.
Slab Hunter.
Eric Rebiere's death-defying wave at "Costa da Morte" in Galicia, Spain.
Neptune, God of the Sea.
A huge swell hitting Europe created larger waves in the coastal waters than the previous years, so I decided to shoot some images in my hometown when Neptune made a visit. As you can see, Neptune's face is in the middle of the white water.

From where you'd rather be!
It could be anywhere in the world, but this perfect lineup is on the south coast of Portugal.
Universal alignment.
Sometimes every single thing is aligned — sandbanks, swell size and direction, tide, wind direction, light — and everything becomes simple!
Dreams!
Following our dreams takes us to incredible places and landscapes. We can meet people, taste flavours, have new experiences and create friendships for life.
September Equinox
It was the last day of summer when the swell came in, and the sandbanks were as aligned as the sun is with the celestial equator.

The Blue Hour
The blue hour is a period of twilight in the morning and in the evening, during the civil and nautical twilight phases, when the sun is at a significant depth below the horizon and when the residual, indirect sunlight takes on a predominantly blue shade.
Old Golden Days
I miss those good old golden days. Pedro Maria Bettencourt flies high at his local spot, Pico do Paredão, Leça da Palmeira, Portugal.
Should we go shopping?

Am I dreaming?
What do you say when you stop the car near the cliff and see these waves with no one out?
The Big Blue.
Kealii Mamala is doing what he loves most, going free into the ocean. It's difficult to find a clear, sunny day and offshore winds at Praia do Norte, with a massive swell like this one.
Social distancing.
Better than Sex...

Only for locals!
Landscapes are always changing. If you don't live in Porto and have seen the city like this, consider yourself very lucky.
Isto é Leça!
The legend, the tribe, the power ...
Stormy Days
Stormy days are amazing. They help me discover new waves that, on other days, don't break. They make me pull through my imagination on jagged coastlines and enjoy the constantly and rapidly changing light.
