São Pedro de Moel is one of the oldest and most emblematic beaches on the central coast of Portugal, located in the municipality of Marinha Grande.
As a photographer since 2019, I am pleased to present my second photography book, S. Pedro de Moel. Discover the timeless beauty of S. Pedro de Moel through a unique and passionate photographic lens. In this work, I have gathered 33 exclusive images that reveal all the magic, serenity, and grandeur of one of Portugal's most beautiful beaches. From the most emblematic corners to breathtaking natural landscapes, each photograph invites the reader to feel the true essence of this very special place. With a hardcover edition and a format of 29.7 x 21 cm, this book was designed for all lovers of photography, the sea, and nature. More than a book, S. Pedro de Moel is a visual journey through unique landscapes, unforgettable moments of light, and emotions captured on every page.
A must-see for anyone who appreciates the natural beauty of Portugal.
About the author
Paulo José Caetano de Sousa, I was born on August 24, 1963, in Marinha Grande, more specifically in Lugar do Engenho. In the 1980s, I bought my first analog camera on a trip to Ceuta. At that time, I acquired some knowledge about photography, particularly regarding developing film. Of course, my professional life took me down other paths, where I dedicated myself for many years to the area of molds for plastics, a predominant industry, as well as glass, in the city of Marinha Grande. At that time, I left behind my passion for photography, or rather, a passion that never left my memory. In 2019, I completed a photography course at the Olhares Academy, dedicating myself entirely to photography to this day.
Budget and due dates
Help me bring this book to life.
There are places you visit... and there are places that stay in your heart forever.
For me, São Pedro de Moel is one of those places. Over the past few years I have walked its trails, contemplated its sunrises and waited patiently for the perfect light to capture the essence of this unique land.
Each photograph in this book is much more than an image: it is an unrepeatable moment, an emotion, a memory preserved for the future.
This project was born from a passion for photography and a desire to pay homage to one of the most beautiful beaches in Portugal. Now, to transform this dream into a quality book, I need the help of those who appreciate São Pedro de Moel, nature, and the art of storytelling through images.
