Why choose surf photography in Búzios?
Búzios counts 23 beaches on one peninsula, so a session here is chosen by which way the sand faces: the bay side for sunset, the open side for surf and wind. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Búzios and works across Rio de Janeiro all year, so they are not seeing the place for the first time alongside you. That prior knowledge is the difference between a session that keeps to its schedule and one spent looking for a frame.
The hour matters more than the location. For Orla Bardot, the window to aim for is sunset, with the light going down over the bay. The session runs 60 min and is built around that window rather than around your diary — it is the one variable that genuinely changes the photographs, and it costs nothing.
What does the session in Búzios look like?
The typical session runs 60 min across two locations: we start at Orla Bardot and move on to Praia da Ferradura. Two locations rather than one give you two distinct backdrops, and the move between them produces the frames made in motion — frequently the truest of the set.
What does surf photography in Búzios include?
