Surf sessions

A private session for you, or you and your friends, at any level. I swim out with you and capture your waves, the laughs between sets and everything in between.

Brands, schools & surf trips

Photos and clips of your people in and around the water. For surf schools, camps, surf houses, clothing and board brands that want content that feels real. I also travel to shoot surf trips and retreats abroad.

Action videos

I shoot video from inside the water and from the sky with my drone. Action clips of your session, ready to share and rewatch. Book it on its own or with photos.

Hi, I'm Inês!

I'm a surfer, swimmer and photographer based in Lisbon, always ready to travel for good waves. I photograph people and brands, capturing the surf, the smiles and the energy of a great session.

The ocean has always been my happy place. I grew up swimming competitively and now race in open-water events, so I feel right at home with a camera in the lineup. Getting to combine that love for the water with photography and meeting new people has been a dream come true.

With my in-water camera setup and drone, I capture the action from the sea and the sky. My passion has also taken me to Nazaré, where I trained to photograph its giant waves from a jet ski.

I'm here to capture you in your element and give you photos that bring you straight back to that feeling. Let's connect!
