In this lovely photo series, we join gorgeous model Ines Sampaio of Elite Lisbon as she reflects on the power of the present moment against the timeless backdrop of the beach. With photographer Jase Patrick these shots capture the essence of a carefree afternoon, blending the spontaneity of youth with the calm yet exhilarating energy of Portugal’s sunlit shores.
Ines shares, “Being on the beach reminds me how important it is to live every moment without holding back, without wasting time. Among the waves and the wind, I realize that being young is exactly that: diving into life, embracing each second as if it’s the only one. Maybe that’s what I want to share – we can’t leave things for later; we have to live now, fully, because it’s these moments that make us feel truly alive.”
Photographer Jase Patrick recalls, “This series was captured between takes for a fun video portrait session while catching the last rays of Portugal’s hot summer sun.”
