"Hello there, I'm Yuri Kiddo and I'm your Aotearoa New Zealand Photographer"

SELF PORTRAIT BW - yuri kiddo-9975.jpg

I am a professional photographer, specialized in portraits, lifestyle, weddings, elopements, landscape and commercial photography.

I love to think out of the box and go wild on creative ideas, documenting real, authentic, and unique moments through my lens, never stop trying new things and challenging myself.

Born and raised in the beautiful and chaotic Sao Paulo, Brazil, I started taking photos in 2010, as a photojournalist. Photography expanded the way I see life and my surrounds and, in 2015, I made
Aotearoa New Zealand my new home. Living here changed my inspiration source from noise and crowds, buildings and street lights, to sheep, the mountains and an infinity of stars in the sky. 

I love to help my clients to enhance their brand and to get more customers, or to make that family memory unforgettable that will last forever.
 
I am based in
Auckland, a stunning scenario in every season, and I know all the best places to take you in a lifetime experience. Let's go somewhere nice!
