About Me

I KNOW THE OCEAN.

Hi — I'm Merlin. Surf photographer, content creator and communication designer based on Portugal's West Coast. I understand the energy in the water before I press the shutter.

Experience from Drop In Surfcamp, Santa Cruz Surflodge and as content creator for Skateacademy Deutschland — I know what camps, brands and surfers actually need. No stock vibes. No tourist look. Real surf energy, captured at the right moment.

Based in Ericeira, available across Ericeira, Peniche, Ferrel, Santa Cruz, Lourinhã and the greater Lisbon surf coast.
