On an ordinary day at the beach, families don coordinated outfits, creating a cheerful atmosphere. People, dressed in urban attire, take dips, blending casualness with sophistication. Smartphones in hand, they capture laughter and embraces, turning the beach into a studio for instant memories. It's a vibrant stage celebrating family life in a visually unified landscape.

Carlota Leitão Portuguese photographer. What most inspires her is documentary photography, the opportunity to create photos that speak, photos that tell stories. It's not in capturing the perfect image, in the most aesthetic or shocking fraction of a second that she puts her photographer's attention, but in the story it contains, in the human effort that is being made to achieve something that feels important in a given context.
