MEET GIANCARLO
Hi, I’m Giancarlo Fortuna — an Algarve photographer based in Sagres.
I capture natural photoshoots for families, couples, surfers and lifestyle brands 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. Years of shooting along this coastline taught me how to read light, wind and tides — so you can simply enjoy the moment while I capture it.
