I am Ioana, a contemporary portrait photographer and artist, based in Auckland, New Zealand. I have been mastering my craft for over 20 years and hold a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photography.
The inspiration for my portraits are often attributed to my Christian faith and Samoan heritage. My devotion lies in capturing the beauty and strength of a person.
Each portrait whether photographic or in oil paint are lovingly crafted and of fine art quality.
My photo shoots are easy and relaxed, and it's an experience that you will enjoy. I can guide you through every step of the process.
It's my utmost desire that you will take away beautiful portraits that you are proud of and will absolutely love and treasure.
