As a surf photographer and videographer, Ower captures surf sessions, from professional surfers to beginners riding their first waves. Based in Portugal, he photographs surf sessions all along the coast, with a strong focus on the Algarve’s most iconic breaks: Arrifana, Amoreira, Amado, Sagres and Lagos. Whether you’re looking for powerful action shots, cinematic moments in the water or authentic portraits of your connection to the ocean, he’s there to document your waves and your story.

I work as a photographer and filmmaker across Europe, based in the Algarve, Portugal. My main areas are:
Yes. I work as a retreat photographer in Europe, capturing real unposed moments. I focus on the connection between people, nature and place. Perfect for yoga retreats, creative retreats, nature retreats and photography-focused gatherings. Check out my portfolio!
Absolutely. I regularly do family photoshoots and pregnancy/maternity sessions in the Algarve and surrounding areas in southern Portugal. I work in a natural, documentary style, so the images feel authentic and timeless rather than posed. Check out my portfolio!
Yes. In addition to photography, I work as a videographer in the Algarve and across Portugal. I cover surf sessions, family moments, retreats and nature-related projects in a documentary style, capturing authentic movement and emotion rather than staged scenes. If you’re looking for a videographer in the Algarve who focuses on real stories and natural light, I’d love to hear about your project.
Documentary-style means I focus on capturing real moments as they happen, without forcing poses or creating artificial situations. Whether it’s a family session, a retreat or a nature project, I look for the small, honest interactions that tell the true story of the people and place.
I’m based in the Algarve, but I work across Europe. That includes surf photography along different coastlines, nature documentary projects in various landscapes, family and maternity shoots in different countries, and retreat photography for international groups and organizers.
Yes. Many clients book me to cover a project in both photos and motion, especially for retreats, nature stories and surf-related work. I can deliver photo series, short documentary films or a combination of both, depending on your needs and the story you want to tell.
I am often super flexible. A few weeks in advance is usually enough. It’s best to contact me through my website or Instagram.
The most helpful things to share are:
This helps me prepare and make sure the result truly matches your vision.
I work primarily with digital delivery, but prints and custom packages can be arranged for certain projects, especially for nature documentary work, personal collections and retreat-related stories. Just let me know what you have in mind.
You can reach out via the contact page with your preferred dates, location and type of project (family, maternity, surf, retreat, nature documentary, etc.). I’ll respond with availability and, if needed, we can schedule a short call to discuss details.
