✨ PHOTO TIP — Portugal Film Look
Try this formula:
Stone + White Walls + Terracotta + Atlantic Blue 🤍🧱🌊
For old towns, photograph the street as the leading line → houses → mountains or sky.
For coastal towns, leave plenty of sky space and let the colors of the buildings be the focal point.
The images will look more like travel film than typical landmark shots. 🎞️📸
