Hi, I'm Inês!

I'm a surfer 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.

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!
