André Carvalho
André Carvalho is a Portuguese photographer who has dedicated a significant part of his career to photographing surfing, although he has a background in graphic design, an area in which he co-founded a multidisciplinary studio with his partner in 2004. In addition to being the resident photographer and photo editor for SURFPortugal magazine, he has actively collaborated with many European magazines, such as Surf Europe, Onfire Surf Mag, Vert Mag, Wavelength, among others. He has also contributed to Volta ao Mundomagazine and UP magazine, with portfolios published in various media outlets, including Jornal Expresso, Visão magazine, and Courrier International.
In 2014, he began collaborating with Turismo de Portugal, spending a month accompanying surfer Garrett McNamara in discovering mainland Portugal and its islands.
In 2015, he published a travel book titled Navegar é Preciso, served as the photo editor for the Portugal Surf Guide, and co-auth ored the book Surfing the Next Step. In 2018, he created a comprehensive image bank for Madeira Island, which remains prominently featured in various media outlets to this day.
During the pandemic, he founded the collective Salitre and, alongside four other photographers, published three surf photography books.
André Carvalho is frequently sought out for projects that value a strong connection with nature. He has worked on assignments for prestigious brands such as RedBull, Samsung, VW, Volcom, Skoda, Tudor Watches, Mercedes, Turismo da Madeira, Turismo de Portugal, and many others.
These days, he divides his time between advertising, photography workshops, and events. However, he never turns down an adventure. Whether surfing waves or capturing them through his lens, he is always eager to bring his vision of nature to life, adapting it to brands that share the same connection.some words about my work:
