Ilan and I were introduced in recent months over which time he quickly demonstrated himself to be a man of thoughtful integrity with a desire and motivation to succeed that are rarely matched. As a photographer that has been awarded Auckland’s Photographer of the Year in numerous, recent and successive years, his creative and professional work speaks for itself. Ilan has recently undertaken some professional photographic work that I required and I have subsequently made the decision to introduce and recommend him to colleagues and friends. We are also planning a further specialist project that I might otherwise hesitate to offer other professional photographers. Nicholas Tee

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. Kate Bilham

Ilan was absolutely incredible to work with and photos are simply amazing and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Manmohan Bhatia

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. Sahan Lalpe

Ilan created beautiful portraits for my two daughters. We really enjoyed our session with him, and appreciated the results. Thanks Ilan! Tamara Lieberman

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. Peter Fraher

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! Theo Simeonidis

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. Jade McConchie

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
Our recent 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 have proudly have hung our pictures in our home. I would be happy to recommend Ilan for his skill with all age groups and getting that great shot that will last a lifetime.

Mary Moore
I’ve seen a variety of Ilan’s portraits and must say I love his work. Technically and artistically the standard of his work is excellent.

My partner and I have had several photography shoots with Ilan, ranging from casual nature/couple shots through to more formal headshots. 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.

Hayley Douglas

Lots of fun and lovely photos, thank you very much for making it such a great experience. I really would just like to thank you again for the portrait, James and I are both extremely happy with it. Thank you so much for doing such a great job.

Hannah Gordon
I have always wanted professional family portraits taken, and Ilan did not disappoint! We purchased a beautiful canvas with photos of our family and young daughter. It will look stunning having pride of place on our wall. Thank you Ilan!

Rob ter Braak
Ilan has been a very professional fabulous person to deal with. Never putting any pressure on us to purchase whatever size photo.

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.

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.

Jane Francis
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.

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

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.

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.

Cesar Bisquera
Me and my family enjoyed very much the photo-shoot in Ilan’s studio and the photos were amazing and very professional looking! We will love to have another photo-shoot – perhaps in the beach! Thanks very much!

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.

Jane Tang
Thank you for spending time with our family. It’s hard to take photo for my daughter who’s only passed 100 days, Ilan’s very patient and humorous, trying all his ways to make my daughter smile.

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!

Rachel
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.
