Based in Sagres, I specialise in relaxed family, couple and proposal photoshoots across the Algarve.
Real moments, natural light and iconic locations — from Lagos to Praia da Marinha and Praia da Falésia.

My sessions are simple and stress-free.
I guide you through the best spots, timing and light, so you can enjoy the moment while I capture the story.

I also work with lifestyle and personal branding clients — artists, athletes and entrepreneurs looking for authentic, identity-driven images.

Meet Giancarlo

Hi, I’m Giancarlo — the photographer behind these Algarve sessions.

I capture families, couples, surfers and genuine moments across the Algarve, from Lagos to Praia da Marinha and Praia da Falésia.

I first came here to surf and disconnect, but the cliffs, the light and the ocean pulled me in for good.
I know how to read light, wind and tides, so you don’t have to worry about anything.
