Photographing surf in Nazaré

Nazaré demands respect and planning. Even outside giant days, the headland, beach and ocean power create images with unmatched scale.

Conditions vary drastically. Big-water sessions depend on experienced teams, dedicated safety and day-of assessment.

The viewpoints and beach offer complementary perspectives. The distance demands long lenses and precise coordination.
