Portrait Photo Sessions for Women and Menfrom photographer based in Lisbon
Every portrait is more than just an image. It’s a chance to see yourself differently — without pressure, without stiff poses, without pretending. I shoot in a way that feels natural and brings out your real confidence.
These sessions work for any purpose: personal photos, brand portraits, profile updates, or just a gift to yourself. We’ll choose the location, style, and pace that fit you. The shoot is relaxed, with no rush.
You don’t need to know how to pose — it’s my job to help you feel at ease and get honest, strong results.
Portraits and real emotions that stay with you
Portugal is so different, so diverse, that in Lisbon and Cascais, for example, you don't need to look for special scenery - old streets, the ocean, beaches, observation decks, and even just the shadows from palm trees create the perfect background for a portrait shoot. The atmosphere of Portugal is naturally relaxing, and the light here works better than any makeup artist. Therefore, it doesn't matter how much experience you have in front of the camera - good shots appear when you are comfortable.
Most of the people I shoot are not professional models. Some are camera-shy, and some are afraid of "not coming out." But in a few minutes, everything changes. We talk and walk, I give tips and jokes, and the shoot turns into a simple conversation, only with the camera. Often, it is at such moments that the best photos appear - not staged, but real ones.
If you came with friends or a loved one, we will take both general shots and personal portraits for everyone. Some people prefer calm photos with a glass on the terrace, some want to jump on the beach, and some just want to be alone in the frame. I do not limit ideas. I need to show not a pose, but a person.
People often write to me that these photos helped them see themselves in a new way. This is not just a series of vacation photos but something personal. And if, for you, this trip to Portugal is more than just a trip, then such photos can be the perfect way to preserve the feeling.
