Baja Portalegre 2023

Baja Portalegre is one of the events that make up the Rally-Raid World Cup, in which motorcycles, SSVs and cars participate.

I went as a photographer for the Touratech Garmin Racing Team, with the aim of capturing the experience of participating in a Baja Portalegre, from preparing the bike to reaching the end of the race.

It was a very tough experience, full of mud and rain (classic of this race), but super fun and with a touch of adrenaline in the mix.

The idea of combining the natural landscape with sport has always attracted me, probably because I started photography through surfing, and so I already had a lot of expectations for this experience.

The photographic possibilities are practically endless, such as using trees or rocks to frame the subject, waiting for a spotlight in the landscape to illuminate it, Panning (photo with drag), etc.
