Meet The Photographers

When it comes to creating amazing artwork it is the attitude, skill and talent of your photographer that really counts.

With their friendly personalities and the ability to capture beauty in all situations we are certain you will find a shoot with Sherolin Santos or Rodrigo Hill a relaxed and enjoyable experience.

Both have a number of years experience in the photographic industry and have worked internationally and around New Zealand capturing beautiful images of a diverse range of subjects.

Their individual styles explore the subtle beauty in people, relationships and culture.

Sherolin Santos - director/ photographer

Sherolin's secret to stunning photography is simple;

"Communicate, connect and capture. To capture the moment of a lifetime you first need to understand what defines a special moment for the people you are photographing. What makes their heart beat? What makes them feel special? Great communication is they key for a great photograph, once we can connect with someone we are able to tell in a photograph their story. Communicate, connect and then 'click', another story is told."

Born into a large, close-knit family in Brazil, Sherolin's natural fascination began as a child. "For as long as I can remember I had someone, whether one of my uncles or my mum, there was always someone taking pictures of my cousins and I. Passion for photography always ran in my family and one day, following strong advice of family and friends I decided to turn my passion into my profession."

In 2001 Sherolin followed her love of photography and travel to Australia where she gained freelance experience and a Bachelor of Arts at Sydney's University of Technology.
During her career Sherolin has assisted leading photo-journalists, wedding and fashion photographers, developing her craft before progressing to photograph celebrities from sport stars to television and radio news readers.
In 2006 Sherolin moved to New Zealand and lived in Auckland for six months before making Hamilton her home.
With a friendly approach and boundless enthusiasm Sherolin is full of innovative ideas to make your photographic session an experience to remember.
