Jase Patrick

Photographer Jase Patrick is renowned for capturing the sunlit moments of life through his mesmerizing images and videos. In his latest journey, he has teamed up with Luisa from Castaway Model Management, weaving magic into their day together.

The very second the ocean embraces her body, she feels utterly alive and gently shielded from all the world’s cares. In that singular instant, nothing matters but the quiet certainty of her own being. The unfettered freedom of the waves becomes her wellspring of strength, guiding her forward with untamed vigor. Unburdened by the eyes of others, she carves out the space her existence deserves.

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.

“Happiness is having time to do activities that make me feel alive.” In a world that’s constantly on the go, having time is one of the greatest luxuries we can afford ourselves. This quote comes from Micaela Morgado, co-founder of Models Factory in Portugal, who has mastered the art of balancing a multifaceted career as a model, actress, and nutritionist.

Give freely, from the heart. Let your offerings be an ode to the joy of giving, without the expectation of a return. If gratitude finds its way back to you, consider it a sweet bonus. But the true reward lies in the act itself. A smile, as simple as it may seem, can be a gift more precious than gold.

Together with Jase Patrick, who loves casual portrait sessions like the ones with Lada, they create a series of beautiful portrait shots that one can immerse in, just like the model in the turquoise pool. For Jase, such collaborations are a relaxed way to continuously explore and develop his visual language.

“The sound of the ocean, the smell of suncream, naps in the shade, being covered in sand while going for dinner and the beached summer skin feeling. Anywhere there is the sun, sand and sea I feel instantly at home, calm and connected. It’s my happy place.” This is how photographer Jase Patrick describes his motivation for this beautiful photo series in a bay on the beach in Portugal.
