PHOTOGRAPHY THAT BRINGS YOU BACK

I’m Giancarlo Fortuna, an Italian photographer based in Sagres, Portugal.

My passion is to honour the beauty of life through timeless, authentic photography for families, couples, and surf enthusiasts.

Photography is about capturing fleeting moments that last forever. I patiently wait for the perfect light, the right expression, or a meaningful connection between people and nature.

My work is never about forced poses or fake smiles—it’s about real moments in harmony with stunning landscapes. Every session is a shared journey: I listen, observe, and let the light and surroundings guide the story we create together.

Whether you want family photos on the beach, a couple’s sessions on the cliffs, or surf lifestyle imagery, I’m here to capture your story with care and creativity.
