Gaspar AvilaI live in the Azores islands (Portugal). Nine beautiful islands in the middle of the Atlantic where people try to live side by side with nature. The ocean is always a great inspiration for me, and also our peaks and lagoons, reminders of Azores volcanic origins.

I do my best to capture the beauty and uniqueness of these little islands, their landscapes and their people, halfway between Europe and America. I think the Azores are one of the most wonderful places in this troubled world of ours, and I try to capture some details and some moments that show some of their magic. I hope some day you'll come visit us and witness all this yourself.
