“An absolute pleasure to work with. A very kind and professional photographer, Ilan makes the experience very comfortable and enjoyable, especially for someone who is quite shy. Full of great ideas and making those ideas a reality through his art. I was extremely impressed with his approach, and getting to know me and my background to put that history into his art. I am so thrilled and happy with the outcome of the shoot, I feel as though it captures who I am through and through and compliments my message to the world. Definitely a great experience I would recommend people to work with Ilan in the future.” Yuri Chetty

“Ilan shot Will for Bare Truths. Ilan is professional, friendly, and made us laugh before the shoot. Ilan also asked Will a little about his life before the shoot, which I thought was very important. Ilan captured Wills intensity in his eyes amazingly. Ilan appreciated Wills freaky looks which made Will when he left have his head up from his higher self esteem.(Will is Maori, and poor and mental health issues) It was an amazing experience from a very genuine photographer Definitely 5 star rating.” Kim Newton

He understands the art, composes it, create something exceptional. It’s a pleasure to work with him.” Lisa Videlier

Kate Bilham
I first came across Ilan Wittenberg several years ago at Silo Park in Auckland where I was very taken with his exhibited works. Last week I was asking around work for a photographer for some relaxed profile photos, when I heard his name I immediately remembered Ilan. We made contact and met very early the next morning. Ilan was a pleasure to work with and he immediately put me at ease. I am thrilled with the resulting images and just wish I could afford to buy more! If you want to work with a true professional and get the results you want then I cannot recommend Ilan highly enough. I had a web gallery that very afternoon and boy it was hard to chose just a few. I was expecting to wait a week for the final images but I got them the very next day. What fabulous service. Thank you Ilan, I won’t use anyone else again.
Elizabeth Evans
We had a great family photo shoot with Ilan. He created a warm relaxed atmosphere and got us all smiling. All the photos turned out well, and it was difficult to pick the ones we liked best. But we are very happy with the result, and they will look fabulous on our wall.
Nicky Rooksby
Ilan managed to get our family including the dog, a 3 and 5 year old all to look at the camera all at once and smile and create a beautiful memory. His enthusiasm for his work is visible in the end results and the care he takes. Can’t thank him enough. Highly recommend: 5 Stars!
Angie McMurdock
Fantastic experience from first point of contact to finished beautiful canvas prints ready to mount on the walls in our home. These will be treasured family items for years to come. Ilan was relaxed, fun and professional and made our experience of family portraits positive. Thanks Ilan!
Kate Bilham
Ilan was an absolute pleasure to work with. I don’t especially like having my photo taken but he immediately put me at ease. We had a fun session very early in the morning with beautiful light and I am very very happy with the results. Well worth my investment and I warmly recommend Ilan to anyone wanting great photography and a fun interaction. I won’t use anyone else now!
Peter Chludil
I really admire and love Ilan work, and can only highly recommend him as a photographer to work with. He is incredibly friendly, and real professional. The quality of his work is spectacular. Thank you Ilan for opportunity to be a part of your Bare Truth project.
Abhi Chinniah
Ilan is an extraordinary creative and visionary whose work transcends traditional photography. I am so honored to have had the opportunity to work for him. Under his leadership we brought to life a successful exhibition of his works at Silo Park in Auckland City. Hundreds of people flocked to see his display of creative genius and story-telling though photography. I highly recommend Ilan to work with you if you are after emotive, memorable and impactful photos.
Nathan Fraher
If you’re looking for a professional photographer I’d highly recommend Ilan. We recently had a family photoshoot that included 2 children under 5, lIan was the consummate professional and managed both the children and parents beautifully! He has a great eye and understands the intricacies of taking amazing photos. We couldn’t be happier the end result!
Jenna Tuuta
Ilan shot photos of myself and my fiancé, Satty, in celebration of our engagement. We had such fun! Ilan made us feel comfortable and made sure that our photos looked naturally loving – just what we wanted! We got a large canvas print and some smaller copies to share with our family. Contact Ilan for your portraits too, you won’t be disappointed.

So glad to have you take our family portraits on this winter morning. We had a wonderful time on Saturday, even though it was so chilly, it was totally worth it for the beautiful pictures you have taken. We are really happy with the portrait you have created and look forward to seeing it in full size. Thank you so much Ilan, we are so pleased with these pictures!
Debbie Churchill
My husband and I booked Ilan to take our family shots which we had made into a composite canvas. It is absolutely stunning and we can’t wait for friends and family to see it on our lounge wall. During the shoot he did a fantastic job on the day with engaging us plus our three kids ranging from 13 years, 3 years and just 3 months old!!! He made us feel very comfortable, had us laughing and smiling with ease which made it nice and relaxing. When we went to his studio to select our prints he made the photos tell a story of our family and it made it really easy to choose which ones out of all the beautiful shots to select for our special canvas. We would certainly recommend Ilan to our friends and family. Thank you so much Ilan.
Dhaneesh Johnson

Manmohan Bhatia
Ilan was absolutely incredible to work with and photos are simply amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
Sahan Lalpe
We had a family portrait taken by Ilan Wittenberg in December last year (2016). We have never been in a professional photoshoot of the likes done by Ilan. I expected the photoshoot to be a quick affair. We would come in, Ilan would take the photos and that would be it.
However, Ilan took the time to explain his process and he got to know us a little bit. He managed to develop a good rapport with us in a relatively short period of time. This ultimately led us to be more relaxed and have fun during the photoshoot. The photos captured the joy of the occasion, which was largely due to the efforts of Ilan. We will treasure the memories, photos and the final product (canvas prints of select photos) produced by Ilan.
Thank you for taking your time and effort in getting to know us and using your great skills to produce amazing photos. Hope you keep building on your success, and best of luck with all your future endeavours. I would definitely recommend the service provided by Ilan, it is worth it.
Evelyn Tundehope
Ilan is super passionate about taking photographs and does what it takes to surface a response to get the perfect picture.
James Hukuimwe
Ilan is very friendly, a professional and his work is outstanding. Ilam knows his stuff, he picked an excellent location (at the beach) for our family photos and the photos are awesome. Thanks Ilan. Great pics.
Tania Glanfield
I highly recommend IIan. Great to work with, professional yet able to make me feel at ease in front of the camera. Great results with plenty of fun and smiles; provided exactly the right photographs and formats.

Tamara Lieberman
Ilan created beautiful portraits for my two daughters. We really enjoyed our session with him, and appreciated the results. Thanks Ilan!
Peter Fraher
Trust Ilan Wittenberg, master award winning photographer to create the portraits you always dreamed of. You will have magic photos and a wonderful experience with Ilan that will ensure you will be back and also tell all your friends.
Theo Simeonidis
A recent visit from UK of my daughter and granddaughter, and daughter from Wellington, presented a rare opportunity to get some special photos to serve as a wonderful reminder of the time spent together. This was especially important to me as I had not seen my granddaughter, now three, since she was just three months old. The task of capturing special moments of me with my girls that we could all proudly retain as wall-art was given to Ilan of WOW Photography.
While my daughter from UK was happy to participate in the outdoor, beach-setting photoshoot with Ilan, she did say that a previous effort to obtain studio portraits of her with her daughter, in London, had left her a “broken woman”! Her little girl (Lexi) was not co-operative in smiling and refused to settle with any sort of pose for the camera.
The photoshoot with Ilan was a totally different story. In a short space of time Lexi was totally engaged, co-operative and let out her inherent happy disposition, smiles, laughter and personality to be captured on film. All the photos were simply stunning, but with Ilan’s guidance, we were able to select the best that suited our individual preferences: I chose a composite canvas, featuring a large family centre-piece photo, surrounded by four smaller photos, while my daughters each chose a large triptych with three large photos.
We are all thrilled with the wall-art created by Ilan which captures the magic and memories resulting from the rare opportunity to have all “my girls” with me at the same time. I thoroughly recommend Ilan’s services – he is a total professional and, after all, he wasn’t the 2015 and 2016 Auckland Photographer of the Year for nothing!
Jade McConchie
Ilan is a very enthusiastic and charismatic person. He puts a lot of effort into interacting and communicating with his clients. He is skilled as a photographer and the canvas’ and photographs he produced for us were excellent. We were very pleased with his services and would certainly recommend them to others.
Bart Van Werkhooven
Photo’s taken by Ilan is experience and a journey, from the moment you meet to the moment your professional taken photos are presented, he is also one of the nicest and caring persons I have met, he will get the best out of you on the right moment. You wouldn’t be able to find a photographer who could stack up to Ilan, his flexibility and his amazing eye for detail and framing are unsurpassed, he knows all the right locations, when Ilan first show your shots it will be a revelation.
Bert Berghmans
We went on a photo shoot with Ilan and he is just amazing. his studio is fully equipped and the result of our shoot was great! He makes you laugh during the shoot which results in very natural pictures.

Sarah Su
Thank you for the amazing work of art I just hung up on my wall.
Wayne Gartrell
The photos “ROCK”
Keegan Rautenbach
We did a family portrait with Ilan in December. It was an early morning shoot on the beach. It was a first for our family and we were quite nervous. Ilan had a teenager to work with (apparently it is not cool for teenagers to smile) but Ilan got the most beautiful photos with smiles out of him! It was an amazing experience and definitely something I would like to do again in a couple years time! Thanks Ilan for an incredible experience, we will see you again in a year or two:-)
Stephen Martin
Ilan was professional and courteous and is passionate about what he does. We were pleased with our family portrait photos. Thanks Ilan.
Melanie Reid
Ilan is a fabulous photographer. You instantly feel at ease and the standard of professionalism is so high, that you know you’ll come away with the perfect shots. I can’t recommend Ilan’s work enough. He is one of the best photographers I’ve ever worked with.
Brenda Rainham
Ilan is very accommodating and encouraging. The communication and organisation was very professional considering we had teenagers to organise. Ilan made us all very comfortable with the location in a natural setting which he suggested would suit us. Ilan was helpful with the way it was presented for us to dwindle the choice down to suit our budget, we chose a large family canvas and are very happy.
Annalise Brown
My family and I absolutely loved our time with Ilan! Beautiful photographs that last a life time, would definitely recommend
Thank you very much Ilan for sharing your talent with us all!
Lilian Rolston
Ilan takes time to ensure a great setting and his photos reflect his attention to detail. His photographs are fantastic works of art.
Pippa Midgley
Ilan was very patient with us; two children under 4 could have been a challenge for some but he has captured the essence of our cheeky wee boy! We appreciate that he was very accommodating of us and our needs. Thanks Ilan.
Janine van de Merwe
I needed a photographer for my sons’ 21st birthday and called a number of places – many didn’t bother calling back, but Ilan did. He could accommodate us at a time that suited us. Arriving at the studio, we were welcomed and made to feel at ease. Posing was a lot of fun and Ilan really engages with everyone to keep the smiles going. The photos turned out great, I am so happy with them, it was money well spent! Thanks Ilan, these photos and memories of the day will last a lifetime.
Ellie Marshall
Ilan was incredible to work with. The studio was wonderful, super professional and relaxing. The images we got together were amazing and I cannot wait to work with him again. Highly recommend him to everyone.

Megan Dyer
Beautiful photos and an amazing all round experience. Ilan is funny and makes you feel very comfortable :) can’t wait for the final product :)
George Wood
At the last minute six of us decided to stand for the Devonport-Takapuna Local Board at the elections. One thing standing, as a team, for local elections is to market the group in the most positive manner. Good quality photographs are essential. We all had various ideas and then one of the team suggested that we seek the support of Ilan Wittenberg. That decision to engage Ilan was a most sound and proper course of action. The photographs were taken in record time and result was amazing. Thank you ever so much Ilan.
Eclypse Lee
Many thanks Ilan for the awesome family portrait. We have 3 kids 5 and under and Ilan was kind and patient and managed to get a great shot with all kids smiling and looking which is no easy task. The back drop at Castor Bay is stunning and we are thrilled with the beautiful print which is now framed and up on the wall. I recommend Ilan to all who want a moment in time and spectacular image captured and we will definitely consider him again in the future. :)
Raffaela Delmonte
An absolute blast! The photo shooting session was a family fun experience followed by a great photos show at Ilan’s studio. It was hard to choose just one photo. We will enjoy it for a very long time. Thanks Ilan!
Dianne Walker
So highly recommend this photographer. We never intended on buying what we did, but the pics were to beautiful not to buy. Ilan was wonderful with the kids and had the patience of a saint. We are so super impressed and would definitely use him again.
Cheng Ooi
I would highly recommend Ilan for making and creating the photography session so easy and pleasure to get through. My mum and I thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience with Ilan. The outcome of the photographs were flawless and they were all fine for pin up! Ilan has been accommodating to create the environment and scene that suit us despite challenging day light and atmosphere. Thumbs up!
David Smith
Ilan is a highly talented photographer and judge of photographic images. His portfolio of meticulously presented images demonstrates his ability to tell interesting stories that speak volumes about the character of his subjects. He is widely recognised among amateur and professional photographers as an outstanding artist and in a short professional career as a photographer has acquired an impressive array of awards and accolades. He has been generous with his time as a judge in photographic club competitions, providing insightful comments on the work of other photographers and advice to those seeking to develop their skills.
Theresa Wells
Ilan was very calm and considerate when working with my 2 and 4 year old. He chose a fantastic location that had great light. He gave lots of options when choosing positions and setting. After the shoot he was fast and efficient at getting the photos ready for viewing. The viewing appointment was very special as he made the atmosphere feel loving and warm. Throughout the whole experience we were given options that would work with our family and budget. But the special memories that have been created will be ever lasting. Thank you, we have a beautiful piece of artwork- pride and centre in the heart of our home.
Penelope Baber
Ilan has recently completed a series of family photos for me. The whole experience from start to the end result on our walls was fabulous. We wanted the shots to be personal to our family circumstance and this was no trouble. Of the many many shots that were taken on the day, Ilan selected the best 30 or so and we chose our favourite six under guidance and discussion with Ilan. We are extremely pleased with the results and proudly have hung them on our walls.
Roland and Karina Atkins
A very enjoyable and fun experience. We are so happy with our canvas – thank you so much.
Greg Horscroft
It was THE wife’s idea for our family photo. Not being much for photo’s, I wasn’t all that keen. BUT, what an experience. Ilan is awesome at what he does and I am not surprised that he is an award winning photographer. I highly recommend him, and would not hesitate going to him for photo’s again. You get what you pay for, and to purchase a piece of Ilan’s passion that is focused on portrait’s of your family, I believe is worth every cent, in fact, priceless! Thank you Ilan, definitely AAA+++
Matthew & Erin Foster
The canvasses have arrived the day after we spoke. They are fantastic and we are delighted with the results
Penelope Baber

Every time, Ilan has proven to have great rapport with his photography subjects from start to finish; not only are the finalised prints of high quality and arrive in a timely manner, but the photoshoot itself is also incredibly enjoyable because of Ilan’s enthusiasm! Ilan takes a lot of pride in his work and it shows through in all of his work.

Ilan has been a very professional fabulous person to deal with. Never putting any pressure on us to purchase whatever size photo. The photos produced by Ilan were of incredibly high quality (even if I’m not an expert in this field). In years to come, when wedding & grandchildren come along we will definitely be in touch with Ilan again. Many thanks for all your fabulous work Ilan. Go well. Kindest regards the ter Braak Family.
Priya Sagar
I approached Ilan at the beginning of December 2014, he was recommended to me by a friend after I viewed her portraits which looked amazing. We booked two sessions with Ilan, one with just me and my husband and the other with our family. Ilan was very professional and went out of his way to make us feel very relaxed in both sessions. I would highly recommend Ilan, especially to those who don’t like getting photos taken. With Ilan’s sense of humor and professionalism, not only will you have a great time but the outcome of the photos will be breathtaking.
Andrea Wouters
Ilan helped create the exact portrait images I was looking for. His exuberant style brought out my natural smile and his warm personality made me feel at ease. I am very impressed with his creative photographic portfolio and wouldn’t hesitate in commissioning Ilan for a piece of photographic art for my wall.
David Martin
Ilan was very enthusiastic and clearly enjoys his work – we have family portraits we can be proud of displayed around the home. Very professional and extremely helpful in selecting the images we ended up with.
Jan Stein
Ilan is a highly qualified and enthusiastic photographer. He uses humour and gentle encouragement to bring us all together as a family to achieve the best results.

I highly recommend Ilan at Wow Photography. He has an artist’s eye and knows how to bring the best out of people -including those who clam up in front of the camera. His experience with lighting, poses and setting created photos that were true to character, and both flattering and natural. I found Ilan to be very generous with his time and 100% committed to making sure we were happy with the end result.

Thank you Ilan for sharing your moving and very timely WWII veterans portraits with me .Your empathy with your subjects and your photographic treatment of them shows not only an understanding of the veterans but also the connection you made with them and the trust they show in you as their photographer. Congratulations on this relevant body of work.
Sue and Toni Ira
There is nothing as special in life as seeing the love, smiles and happiness of one’s family captured in a moment and saved for perpetuity! That is exactly what Ilan has been able to do for our family. Our photos are not only beautiful and creative, but they are truly reflective of us as people (and dogs!) and as a family unit. The photo shoot itself was also a fun, rewarding and memorable experience. Ilan was very patient with us and the dogs, and gave us some really great ideas & tips for making it a success. Thank you Ilan!
Rose and Mike Smart
Delighted with both the sitting and the excellent prints and canvasses. Ilan made the photography session easy and fun and definitely knew how to get the best out of us. His advice during the review of the photos and how best to choose which photos to use and how to mount them (canvass or prints) was both patient and informed. We have no hesitation in recommending Ilan and Wow Photography.
Chris and Tonya Osborne
Pictures are amazing and look great on the wall. We are looking forward to showing them off to our house guests.

It’s been fun working with Ilan. I am generally not a photo person but he always makes the shoot relaxing and fun. We have been to him a few times and would highly recommend his service.
Caroline Lardy
We wanted a family portrait with our 2 year old son. Ilan made us comfortable from the start of the shooting session and we actually had great fun. It suddenly became easy and natural to take poses. The end result is more than what we expected: 2 great canvas that we will treasure as a reminder of this time in our lives.
Mine De Belder
Ilan took beautiful pictures of our family! The kids all really liked him, which made that they all smiled (yes, even the shy one!). We are very happy with the outcome! Thanks Ilan!!!!
Kelsey Hobson
Matt looks like he really is enjoying himself, that’s nice. I like the no shoes! Maybe that’s what kept him genuinely smiling… The background is symbolic with the two paths that appear to merge into one where they are, Megan and Matt are holding hands in the middle, not one giving or taking anymore of the others space just an equal share and they have such great expressions of happiness so that one eventually won. It must be amazing to be able to create such meaningful images, you indeed have a gift!
Ainslie Sutherland
The staff and I were delighted with the canvas you did for us. It has captured the essence of the moment and has resulted in a very happy and natural looking portrait. It is a legacy for those who follow on from us.
Hannah Sinden

Mike Dodge
The photos are outstanding. I do not ‘do’ photos as I take really bad ones however every photograph exceeded my expectations. My family members were captured beautifully. Thank you so much Ilan.
Katrina Dodge
My family and I had an amazing time doing our photoshoot with Ilan. He was very humorous so the smiles in the photos showed true happiness. We do not often get to spend much time together as a family anymore and he made this experience very enjoyable. Ilan has a lot of passion for photography and all of the photos showed this as they all looked exceptional. I would absolutely recommend him to my friends and extended family. I look forward to the next photoshoot with Ilan, Im sure I will be back.
Carmit and Shai Aharon
Ilan skillfully managed to capture precious moments at our special family event, bringing with him not just the camera but passion, sense of humour, patience and love. A true artist with a camera, Ilan created beautiful photos that are joyful to watch again and again!

Adrian Hatwell
Ilan produced both some fantastic family portraits for me and wonderful head shots for my magazine work. He was excellent with my young son, who had an amazing time on the portrait shoot, and made us both feel very comfortable. The images from booth shoots are amazing, and Ilan made both experiences enjoyable, comfortable and rewarding.
Friendly, skillful and extremely professional, I would work with Ilan again in a heartbeat.
Lorinda Franc
We are absolutely delighted with the stunning portrait of our family. You have captured the essence of our individual personalities beautifully and naturally, not easy with 4 children in the frame! We had a great time together on the day, the location was perfect and we can’t wait to have our portrait on the wall. Thank you for providing us with such a fantastic reminder of our family unit – we can’t wait to recommend you!
Goran Ivanovic
No wonder you’ve reaped the rewards as your photographs are the real and true work of art. I was amazed by so many details emerging from your photos. Looking at them you can almost feel the energy accumulated. At first glance static, but after only a few seconds very dynamic pieces, worth every reward. Removing colour, which many times simply obscure the details forces the viewer to notice those details and enjoy in them. Your images have so many layers, each telling own story about the moment captured and at the same time revealing a little bit about the photographer. Congratulations Ilan, your MNZIPP title is well deserved.
Isaia
Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Ilan was understanding, very patient, so passionate about his work and gave more than 100% to his work. We were very impressed and thankful. He is a great blessing!!
Imelda Rokoua
We loved Ilan and his professionalism!! He’s an outstanding photographer and made my family and I feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. We highly recommend him to anyone with children. Basil and Ebenezer loved their time at his studio:)
Brenda Allen
We had an amazing experience with Ilan! We went early in the morning and had a couple of tried teenagers and he brought them out of their shells and made the whole experience fun, casual and easy for us all. Have just had the pleasure of looking at our pictures and I’m extremely happy with the results!
Stephanie Pyatt
THANK YOU SO MUCH ILAN! We love the photos of Tomas, Cooper, & I. Great photo’s, great value, and great guy. Looking forward to doing another shoot at the beach in one year. Thank you so much for making a memory last a life time :) Stephanie, Tomas, & baby Cooper.
Rowan and Craig Hewet
Whoever said ‘A picture paints a thousand words’ was not wrong. Our family portrait session happened to be a cold brisk morning but Ilan’s ability to make you forget the weather, feel happy to be alive and just enjoy the moment! Well, the photos speak for themselves. We were simply delighted and thrilled with the results. A moment in time to treasure forever, thanks Ilan we couldn’t have asked for more.
Shobha and Janna
Folklore says: ‘A Lifetime is just a snapshot of memories’. Happy memories! Fun times! Laughter and Tears too! And who better to capture these beautiful moments than photographer Ilan Wittenberg. Your passion for the art and your eye for detail creates fantastic masterpieces. Many thanks Ilan for a lovely portrait.
Portia Bing
I thought I’d let you know what happened since last saw you. I recently got signed to the Nike sponsorship program. I now receive clothing and sports wear from them every couple of months. I am also working on a contract with Mazda cars, where they plan to support and sponsor me for the next two to four years!
A lot of the photos which you created helped because I was able to put them into my CV, approach these sponsors and show them what other potential I have, which I really have you to thank for.
Adrienne Chapman
Ilan was fantastic to work with. His witty personally and passion for his work made the experience lots of fun during the photo shoot. he was great at putting us at ease and hence the photos are very natural. We loved the variety of photos to choose from and how they captured each of our personalities. The setting was fantastic and the photographic results were great. It was hard to choose our favourites because we loved so many of them.
We all liked Ilan’s witty sayings, but my favourite was “happy wife, happy life.” Needless to say I am very happy with our photos; hence all is well in our household! Thank you Ilan.
Sarah Baker
Thank you so much Ilan for my beautiful photos!!! I really enjoyed working with you, you helped me to develop skills in posing well for the camera and the end result is amazing! Even though it was so windy and I froze your encouragement kept me going and the warm robe you brought for me. It was so sweet of you to think of me being cold and bring a hot tea for me. I will definitely recommend you to all of my friends and I look forward to working with you on many more photo shoots.

Claire Bruell
Delighted with the wedding photos of Anton and Vanessa’s wedding. They reflected perfectly the relaxed, personal atmosphere of the day and the function. Ilan worked really hard for many hours, getting the shots he wanted. The lighting was difficult and all photography was inside which made exposures challenging. Happy to recommend Ilan.
Debbie Ravji
My family were not impressed with me when they heard I had booked a family portrait with Ilan Wittenberg. We got there early which didn’t help so I had three grumpy men, Ilan suggested we pop-off to the beach and soak in the scenery and this might calm things down. We all walked in and and sat down and Ilan went through briefly of what to expect over the next hour. Ilan was fantastic by the end of the session everyone was relaxed and even laughing and I know he got some fantastic shots of my family. I would like to thank him in advance of the fantastic job he will do and I would be happy to recommend him and would be happy to refer family and friends. Wishing Ilan all the best and Thank You.
Jessamy Amm
It was great fun going to the beach and Ilan was really helpful in telling us where to stand to make the photos perfect. :) our session to choose which photo we wanted to get printed was great, he made the process of culling them down to the very best of the best a great experience. Thanks!

Wow..amazing..
Ervin
My family had a great time with Ilan. He made us all feel instantly relaxed with his stories and dry sense of humour. He works from a professional studio and is very professional, but manages to talk you into a relaxed and comfortable state before your pictures are captured. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
Renae Beck
My family and I had a fantastic, enjoyable photo shoot with Ilan. He has got a excellent, friendly manner that helped keep our wee son focused and my partner (that does not normally like his photo taken) entertained and smilling. I would reccomend Ilan as a photographer with out a dout. Thank you Ilan for a super ejoyable photo shoot, you really have a gift. =)
Faith Mayer
From our first conversation to arrange the photo shoot, Ilan got us so inspired and enthusiastic. Inspired to be part of creating a timeless piece of art for our family to enjoy, and enthusiastic that we can make it happen with his superb tips. At the beach, Ilan made us all very relaxed and skillfully drew the most wonderful smiles from all of us. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience and are looking forward to seeing what will surely be fabulous photographs! Thank you Ilan for sharing your time, talent and skill with our family. I am already listing down friends I will encourage to contact you for their family pictures too.
Debbie McCulloch
Thank you Ilan for the photo shoot. I thoroughly enjoyed the time with you and you did extremely well to get some smiles out of our surly 14 year old. Quietly I think she enjoyed herself? It was a positive and fun experience for our family and something that has been long overdue. We really look forward to seeing the results.
Yuliya and Grant McKenzie
Ilan definitely named his company correctly – Wow Photography, because we quite simply went wow when we saw the big canvas he did of our family. The photo session was painless and we took beach and studio pictures. Ilan then prepared them and showed us on the big screen and they photos were just great, however the finished result was just amazing, WOW! When you look at the photos you see the work he has put into then over and above his talent for taking them in the first place. We will be using Ilan each year to capture the family as we change :-)
Richard Lamb
Ilan was extremely relaxed with our family and it was infectious so that we all thoroughly enjoyed the experience. His gentle humour and warm personality put us all at ease and the time flew past. We are looking forward to seeing the results.

He made us very comfortable and the whole shoot was a pleasant experience. I just saw the results this morning and the photos came out really lovely, Ilan made a selection and was very patient with me making a choice. Ilan is very down to earth and very professional, the combination of the two makes him an excellent photographer! I am hoping to be able to come back for more photos in the future as my children grow!

Thanks for visiting us at such short notice across the other side of town; your professionalism, expertise and photography is of an incredibly high standard and the photos you took of me and my little baby will be treasured forever. I look forward to having you back for further family portraits in the next few weeks; thanks again for a lovely afternoon and stunning photographs.

We had a fantastic afternoon with you Ilan, I thought you were just wonderful with the kids – especially the older one, was nice and light hearted with a bit of good humour and wit, which is always a bonus in my opinion, the photos are incredible and I have recommended you to as many people as possible. Again thank you so much for an awesome afternoon and experience, Claudia would like to do it again tomorrow…..

Ilan you were great to work with at the expo, the shoot was fun and your very creative! We will definitely recommend you to our clients as your shots really showed off the detail of the laces, colours and you completed the vintage look with the way you shot the gown. Thanks!

Ilan, You are incredibly passionate about photography and have preserved moments of great joy for us!
Pat Habrle
Loved the photos you took at Art Deco this year. You made the three of us feel like models even at our age and the photos were incredibly flattering. Think anyone who wants to know what Art Deco is about would get a really good idea if they looked through your entire album!
Lorraine Wyatt
Many thanks for the wonderful photos you took of my husband and myself at Art Deco this year. Family members and friends who have seen the photo we ordered from you said it was amazing and that you have captured the feeling of love between me and Earl. Wow!!! we would certainly recommend you to others and would ask you to take photos of any other special occasions we may have.

I had so much fun – who knew that standing half naked in front of a strange man with a camera could feel . . . normal! Ilan was so professional I felt right at home having my Baby Bump photos taken. I cannot wait to see the final shots. I highly recommend Wow Photography even if you are camera shy like myself.
It was wonderful working with Ilan. In a short time, he managed to not only make us comfortable in the studio, he also managed to totally impress and engage my two kids and took AMAZING photos of us all. The results are obvious- We love the photos. Ilan, you managed to capture the closeness and character of our family to the tee.. Well done Ilan. You really have impressed the Russell aplenty! We will be sure to return to you and continue to build our family legacy through your lenses!

Our family portrait was great fun. The kids started running around the large studio so was a little tricky to get us all in frame – but Ilan did an awesome job. We spend about an hour looking at the final images and had hard time choosing the best ones. We chose one print for the living room and once for each child so great value for us. Highly recommended!

Working with Ilan has been great. I gifted my daughter, son and law and 2 little children a photo session with Ilan. Ilan was very accommodating, meeting them in a park, after postponing a few times due to the weather. The pictures really represent their family, spontaneous, happy in the outdoors and the pictures capture the character of each person. The quality of the photo’s are aboslutely outstanding and creative, with some very clever editing. Awesome working with you Ilan. Thanks.
Thanks Ilan for a wonderful experience capturing images of our new family. You managed to capture some gorgeous shots of our 9 week old boy which can’t have been easy. We can’t wait to put the picture on our wall for all to admire. Will be seeing you again when number 2 arrives!
We are so pleased with our photos, they look amazing and Ilan got some fantastic shots of our 18 month old which is not easy as he is never still! Highly recommended.
Noobar
It was a fun time and the photos look amazing. We are so happy with the shot, it captures the fun and happiness of our family. We had a fun experience and the opportunity to give back to our local school, for each photo Ilan will donate a portion of its profits to Murray’s Bay Intermediate. Once again, many thanks.
Joanne
We really appreciate your patience even though our baby was getting a bit grumpy, but we managed to capture good shots thanks to your professionalism and “tricks”/ skills. Can’t wait to see the results of the photo!!! and will definitely recommend you to our friends and family. Looking forward to capture more precious photos by you in the future to come.
Roni
We love love love the photos, they really capture our personalities and they just look great. We really enjoyed this experience and appreciate all the hard work and attention to details Ilan has put into it. The kids loved it too! It is so nice to have such a beautiful memory of our family at this point in time. Many thanks Ilan.
Jules
We had so much fun! Most importantly, we had such amazing pictures! Isn’t it because we had so much fun in the first place? We were so happy with everything we went through with Ilan – easily agreed on having time which was convenient for us, made us feel so welcome and comfortable on the photo session, offered the best printing options for our shots… Thank you Ilan for great time and timeless pictures!

Ilan was a great and we had so much fun taking photos with him. I give Ilan 5 stars. Thanks Ilan
Iva Zoric
My family of five and I all agreed that Ilan is an amazing photographer. I recommend him to anyone who wants to create priceless pictures especially family portraits. Ilan was really professional as he knows what works and what doesn’t. He goes out of his way to capture inspirational photos. Thank you Ilan for a great photo session.
We collected our framed photographs this week and we just can’t stop looking at them. They are amazing, totally captivating. Not only is Ilan an excellent photographer, he also goes to great lengths with the selection of the photos which he puts on large screen for viewing. Thank you again Ilan, we are looking forward to another session in the near future.
Our family of seven had a wonderful morning with Ilan in the Auckland Domain. Ilan made us all feel very relaxed and comfortable including our 22 month grandson who was feeling out-of-sorts with a cold and he managed to make him smile. This experience was a gift to us all and can’t wait to see the photos next week. Thank you Ilan and I am sure we will all be back sometime in the future for more.
Great experience with Ilan. Made the entire family feel comfortable and as a result we had a fantastic day and were able to capture some truly amazing moments.
Christina A.
Awesome photo shoot which was so much fun for all of my family. We had so many great photos it was hard to choose which one! I hope that are fortunate to do it again very soon. Thank you Ilan for your talent and professional photography work. It is so nice to have those great moments captured on our wall to show off to all our friends and family:-)
Armil Velos
Really beautiful photos that capture who we are and close relationship. Ilan is easy to work with, is fun and made us laugh a lot with funny sayings and jokes to capture some great photos. Have a look at our photos in his gallery. Thanks Ilan – we will come back!
Maree T.
We thoroughly enjoyed the photo shoot with Ilan and were thrilled with the photos he took. They will be a wonderful piece of art in our home and a reminder of our special family bond captured by Ilan. Thank you for the great photos and entertainment you provided. We would definitely recommend you to family and friends. A+.
Dear Ilan, Just to let you know that we received our photos on Thursday and they are great! I have received so many texts and facebook messages saying how great they are! Thank you so much!
Roy G.
Ilan’s patience and professional conduct has produced some fantastic portraits bringing out true character and complimented us all. We love the natural setting he insisted on. His ability to make us feel good and comfortable is remarkable. We are looking forward to hanging them with pride in our home along with many pieces of artwork. Both of us have a love of photography and we are proud that we can hang Ilan’s work of our family alongside our own. Thanks llan for your patience and professionalism.
I was a bit worried at first to be able to capture a good family portrait with a 4 and 2 year-old but Ilan made it very easy. He made us very comfortable and the whole shoot was a pleasant experience. I just saw the results this morning and the photos came out really lovely, Ilan made a selection and was very patient with me making a choice. Ilan is very down to earth and very professional, the combination of the two makes him an excellent photographer! I am hoping to be able to come back for more photos in the future as my children grow!
Kim A.
Ilan made the task of photographing our corporate team like a walk in the park. It only took about 10 minutes per person and we now have some great formal and more casual shots that can be used in any of our business presentations. He made everyone feel at ease and the group shots are just brilliant. I highly recommend Ilan for this type of work.
