Why choose surf photography in Jericoacoara?
Sunset from the Duna do Pôr do Sol falls between 17:38 and 18:00 in every month of the year, so an evening session in Jericoacoara is planned to the same half hour in July as in January. That is what decides how a session is planned here: the photographer you work with lives in Jericoacoara and works across Ceará 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 Duna do Pôr do Sol, the window to aim for is the last 40 minutes before sunset, which falls between 17:38 and 18:00 depending on the month. 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 Jericoacoara look like?
The typical session runs 60 min across two locations: we start at Duna do Pôr do Sol and move on to Pedra Furada. 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.
