I am Ioana, a contemporary portrait photographer and artist, based in Auckland, New Zealand. I have been mastering my craft for over 25 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.
