About

Hi,
I'm a portrait photographer and videographer from the Philippines based in Wellington, New Zealand.

Every photograph is different from the other. It's unique in its own way because of the feeling behind it. I would love to help you preserve those feelings.

I use both of my digital and film camera when doing a shoot. So if you love a good vintage feel in your photos, you came to the right place!

One thing to know about me is that during the shoot, you won't have to pretend with me! You can tell me what you want and how you really feel and we will make something beautiful out of it! The world would be a much better place if we just embrace who we really are.

So, I'll be here when you're finally ready to  feel.
with love,
Shantal Jose

Testimonials

Working with Shantal has been so amazing. She made me realise that loving myself for the shape I am in matters the most. Once I saw the photos, I was totally in awe of Shantal's work. Her creativity and skill has captured my attention and I cannot wait to work with her again.

Having a photographer and a videographer to be able to capture my 18th birthday exactly the way I envisioned it to be is just AMAZING, it was the easiest thing to work with Shantal! Would happily work with her again!
