Ia Orana Tatau,

I’m Manua, and I’m thrilled to welcome you to my website!

I created this space to share my work and my passions for art, photography, and of course, Polynesia, the place where I was born.

My approach is to create a laid-back atmosphere where posing becomes a fun and effortless experience. I guide you with simple prompts to help bring out your natural expressions and make the session feel more like a relaxed conversation than a photo shoot. Photography is my passion, and I’ve dedicated hundreds of hours to perfecting my craft to provide you with a smooth and enjoyable experience.

I speak both French and English fluently.

Let's connect !

"Manua was a pleasure to work with, and more! We booked Manua for a resort photo shoot while staying at the Four Seasons Bora Bora. He showed up on time, prepared and ready to work! He has such an eye for a perfect picture, provided a mix of shots; focused, scenic, etc. and was incredibly kind, warm and creative! I was truly blown away by his professionalism and creativity, and his ability to make us feel comfortable. As the day was getting warmer during our shoot, he offered to take pictures of us jumping off our bungalow into the ocean as our final shots. It was such an amazing memory! Dont hesitate to book Manua (Island Shot) for any and all of your photographic needs, he is amazing. THANK YOU ISLAND SHOT!!!"

"Je recommande vivement Manua !
Décision de dernière minute avec mon compagnon pour des photos de couple à Bora, il a su se rendre disponible. J’ai d’abord choisi Manua pour son style de photo que j’aime beaucoup.
Et aujourd’hui je ne regrette pas du tout mon choix, nous repartons avec des belles photos de nous de Polynésie.
Manua a su nous mettre alaise car nous ne sommes pas des adeptes de la caméra ! Nous n’avons même pas vu le temps passer !
N’hésitez pas !
Ps: nous avons eu les photos très rapidement."

"We found Manua and his beautiful Island Shot photography via Instagram. When we saw his work initially we loved how clean and candid his photos were. We could really tell he had his own style and we were immediately drawn to that. Manua was very friendly anx easy to work with. It made our family photo session a lot of fun. The photos he took of our family turned out lovely and we would easily hire Manua again. We wish him and Island Shot the best of luck!"
