About

Hello, I'm Rene

Reflective of a state of energy.

My story

A surf and lifestyle photographer from Aotearoa New Zealand, I have always held a deep connection to the coastline and a natural pull towards the ocean.

My RENE MARGUERITA portrait shoots are grounded in a state of play, using photography as a visual translation of energy, presence and individuality. My style is centred around natural light, authentic expression and dynamic energy.

Working across personal portraiture, brand photography, and surf photography, I collaborate with creatives, brands, women, and couples to communicate authenticity and personal essence through image. Whether capturing an individual or a brand, my approach is to create imagery that feels natural, expressive and alive.
