Woman by Waterfront

A realistic street-photography fashion image captured 'across the street' in Lisbon, spring 2025, late morning. Shot with a 35 mm lens at f / 1.8, 1 / 800 s in soft, diffused coastal light. A Brazilian-Portuguese woman in her early thirties leans casually against a riverside railing near Cais do Sodré, one hand tucked into the pocket of her cream wool overcoat, the other holding a paper cup of espresso. She wears tailored charcoal trousers, polished loafers, and a crisp striped shirt slightly unbuttoned at the collar—an effortless blend of structure and ease. The Tejo River behind her ripples with pale reflections, and a cyclist drifts past in subtle blur, adding rhythm to the stillness. The shallow depth softens the pastel horizon while keeping her expression—calm, present, quietly strong—in perfect focus. The mood is thoughtful modernity, understated and full of coastal light.
