Photographer in Lisbon, Cascais, Sintra
Your Expert for Beach Photo shoots.
Enjoy the moment, and leave everything else to me.
A swimwear or bikini photoshoot is about confidence and feeling comfortable in your own skin. Many women want to keep memories of sunny days, freedom, and good energy. This is a chance to see yourself in a natural, open, and authentic way.
The session is calm and relaxed. I'll guide you with poses and movements so the photos look balanced and beautiful. We choose the right location together – beach, ocean, rocks, or pool – depending on your mood and style.
My goal is to make you feel at ease, enjoy the process, and walk away with photos that you'll love coming back to.

About me Dimas Frolov

Hi, I'm Dimas. I create photos where you'll like the way you look: relaxed, free, and confident. A swimwear shoot is not just about how you look. It's about how you feel – light, open, and fully present in the moment. I have over 19 years of experience photographing people on beaches and by the ocean in different countries.
The session is calm and unhurried. We choose a location where you feel comfortable, beach, rocks, water. I'll guide you with movement and direction so everything looks natural and alive. No rush, no pressure, just space to enjoy the process.
The result is a set of images with mood: beauty, with inner light, and a version of yourself you'll be glad to come back to.

Want to see real sessions? Swimwear & Bikini Photography
A beach photo shoot isn't just about beautiful light. There's also wind, waves, and harsh sun that changes shadows in seconds. In these conditions, it's not just about getting a good shot – it's about capturing the atmosphere, movement, and natural feel. I always focus on making the process comfortable and the results balanced and stylish.
If you've browsed through my portfolio, you might have noticed there are only one or two photos from each shoot. To give you a better idea of what a full session looks like, I've prepared examples of complete photo series. This helps you see what kind of result to expect from your shoot.

Most common questions about photo shoots
For a regular photoshoot that isn't tied to a specific date, it's best to book about a month ahead.
It's different when you need that exact date: an anniversary, a birthday, a wedding. Or when you're only in town for a few days. Then plan ahead, even a year in advance. That's better than regretting it later and looking for another photographer. The same goes for dates everyone wants, like Valentine's Day and the New Year holidays.
And sometimes I'm free in the next few days or even today. Then I can come, I just need time to get to the location. The quickest way to find out if I'm free is to message me on WhatsApp.
You decide, and I suggest options and help you pick what fits your ideas. Lisbon is huge. There are parks and gardens, and the Atlantic shore has beaches and amazing cliffs. The historic centre has narrow streets and a real Portuguese vibe. It's also possible to shoot in castles and palaces. Shooting inside palaces and castles is paid separately; when we plan the shoot, I'll tell you where, how and how much. You don't need to name exact places, just give me an idea of what's in your mind, and I'll offer you some options.
The meeting point is something we choose together when we plan the shoot. Usually it's the first location or a spot next to it that's easy to reach by taxi or public transport. The day before, I'll send you the exact point on the map.
In Lisbon center – sunrise, almost no tourists. Beaches or parks are more flexible; you can shoot almost any time there.
A few helpful articles in my blog:
If it rains on the day of the shoot, we'll move it to another free day, with no extra fees.
But I'd warn you not to rely on weather forecasts, especially more than a few days ahead. I've been comparing different forecasts and apps for years, and none of them is accurate enough to trust. We're right by the ocean, and it brings in and changes the weather very quickly, which is why forecasts get it wrong. It's best to look at the actual weather right before the shoot.
I offer several packages. One hour usually covers most sessions. For more outfits or wider locations, 1.5 hours is better. Two hours is the most relaxed option with lots of advantages.
Detailed packages you can see here: Rates for photography services.
The photos are yours for personal use: print them, post them on social media, give them to family. They can't be sold or used in advertising. If you need that, just write to me and we'll sort it out. The copyright stays with me.
And for private sessions there's a special offer: if you're happy for me to share your photos on my website and social media, you get up to 27% off.
Swimsuit Photographer in Portugal: Natural Beauty and Genuine Emotions
Shooting female portraits is all about balance – a mix of style, ease, and self-assurance. Swimwear sessions are a great way to bring all that together. For me, it's not just about snapping pretty pictures – it's about making sure you feel good, have fun, and enjoy the moment. Portugal has so many amazing spots to shoot: Lisbon, Setúbal, Cascais, the Algarve – each place has its own vibe and beauty to add to the photos.
Why Being at Ease in Front of the Camera Matters
When you're comfortable, the real magic shows up. Your expressions, your body language – they become honest and alive. That's why I always start by getting to know you a little. We chat about what you want, what you're nervous or excited about, and just take the pressure off. The more relaxed you feel, the more you'll enjoy the whole experience.
What It's Like to Work With Me – From First Hello to Final Shot
Let's be real – standing in front of a camera can feel awkward at first. Totally normal. That's why we kick things off with an easygoing chat. It's my way of helping you settle in, laugh a bit, and just feel like yourself before we even start shooting.
Once we begin, I've got you. I'll guide you through it with simple directions and little tips so you're never left wondering what to do. The focus is on natural, real moments – not stiff poses or forced smiles. Just you, looking like you.
Bottom line? I want you to enjoy it. Because when you're having a good time, it shows – and that's where the best photos come from.

What Makes These Photos Different?
Great photos aren't just about gear – they're about catching the moment. I shoot in natural light because it brings this soft, authentic feel that's hard to fake. I know the best times of day to shoot and how to pick locations that add to the mood without stealing the spotlight.
I also pay attention to the little things – hair, outfit, how everything fits together. The goal is to keep it effortless. Clean framing and simple composition let you stand out, without distractions.
And to keep things interesting, I like to play with angles and creative shots. It keeps the final set full of life, with lots of variety that reflects you and the vibe we created.
Where Do We Shoot?
Think places you'd love to show off – wild Atlantic beaches, quiet bays down in the Algarve, or hidden gems near Cascais. We'll choose locations that feel comfortable and give us that extra visual punch.
