Hi! I’m Luís Campos, a Portuguese underwater photographer and PADI diving instructor since 2008. I’ve been combining my love for the ocean with a passion for photography for several years now.
I started competing in underwater photography back in 2017 and was lucky enough to finish as Vice Champion of the Portuguese Nationals right from the start. Since then, it’s been an amazing journey, full of learning and great moments.
Some of the highlights so far:
- Portuguese National Champion in Underwater Photography in 2019 and 2024
- Overall Winner of the 9th MARES Underwater Photo Marathon
- Winner of the Cup of Nations and Best of Show of the 8th MARES Underwater Photo Marathon
In 2021, I represented Portugal at the CMAS World Championship in Porto Santo, where all four of my images made it into the top 15—one even took 4th place in the Wide Angle with Diver category, and I was also named Best Model of the competition.
I’ll be back representing Portugal again this October at the next CMAS World Championship in L’Estartit, Spain—and I can’t wait to dive back in!
All images presented in the following galleries were captured in Portugal.
