Beach houses, pool villas and holiday rentals between Foz do Lizandro and Ribamar — photographed in the light that brings buyers here.
The coast north of the serra
Beyond the Lens (BTL Studio) is based in Colares; Ericeira is twenty-five minutes up the coast road. The light here is harder and cleaner than in the serra — the Atlantic throws it back, the wind clears the sky and the white façades want the late afternoon. We know the difference between a morning of nortada and a still afternoon, and we book the shoot by it.
The Ericeira market sells on the life it promises: surf, beach, a pool house ten minutes from the waves. Foreign buyers, second homes and a growing share of holiday rentals. We photograph for that buyer — the house in its setting, the light of the right hour and interiors edited without excess.

Holiday rentals & second homes
Pool, terrace and façade at dusk, interior lights on and the sky still blue — the frame that stops the scroll on a booking platform. That was the brief in Carvoeira, for a rental manager with properties between Mafra and Ericeira.
Where we shoot
Ericeira, Ribeira d'Ilhas, Ribamar, São Lourenço. White façades in the late afternoon and the sea in the frame whenever the house has it.
Carvoeira, Santo Isidoro, Encarnação, Foz do Lizandro, Mafra. Land, pool and surroundings from the drone; blue hour when the property warrants it.
Houses and apartments for Airbnb and Booking, with the gallery ordered to convert and dusk as the first image.
We work with agents, agencies, managers and owners in Ericeira and across the Mafra municipality, with one point of contact from briefing to delivery and formats ready for idealista, Imovirtual, the international portals and the booking platforms. Travel included in Ericeira and Mafra.
Light & logistics
The summer nortada blows hard in the afternoon and decides the drone day; mornings are stiller. Sea-facing façades look west — golden hour and dusk are the rule for exteriors and pools. Interiors are shot in the morning, in the softest window light.
Drone: away from the protected cliffs and restricted zones, flying is normally possible in Ericeira and Mafra. We confirm feasibility before proposing it. Delivery as a rule within the week of the shoot, with corrected verticals, balanced windows and formats for every channel.
Projects
