Amelia
São Julião, late light

A quiet afternoon between the cliffs, the wind and the last warm light on São Julião beach.

I met Amelia at São Julião with no big plan beyond following the light. We started above the beach, where the cliffs open out to the Atlantic, and slowly made our way down towards the water.

The wind did most of the work. The dress, the movement and the soft evening light made everything feel natural, so I kept the session simple and let the place lead us.

Nothing complicated. Just the wind, the Atlantic and the last light of the day.
