Who am i...
Hi, my name is
Mark Gary Omadto
The person behind the camera at
MGO Production
I'm a Wellington-based photographer with one simple obsession — capturing the real you. Not the posed, stand-up-straight, say-cheese version. The genuine you. The laughing-so-hard-you-can't-breathe you. The focused, in-the-zone, completely-in-your-element you. That's the version worth keeping forever.
Photography Has Always Been Part of Me
For as long as I can remember, photography has been a hobby that I've always loved. There's something about freezing a single moment in time that never gets old — a split second that would have disappeared forever, now kept forever. After years of shooting for the love of it, I decided to take the next step and turn that passion into a business. Not because I had to, but because doing what you genuinely enjoy every single day is something worth pursuing. MGO Production is the result of that — a business built entirely around something I love.
Why Candid?
Anyone can ask you to smile at a camera. I'd rather wait for the real thing. The candid shot — the unscripted reaction, the genuine laugh, the split second of pure focus — that's where the magic lives. Those are the photos you look back on years later and feel something. Not because they were perfectly staged, but because they were perfectly real. That's what satisfies me as a photographer. That's what I'm always chasing.

Just Me, My Camera, and Wellington
MGO Production is just me — Mark. No big team, no corporate process. When you book a session, you get my full attention, my genuine care, and my commitment to getting you photos you'll actually love. I work across Wellington and surrounds, shooting everything from candid lifestyle sessions and studio portraits to pet adventures, automotive rolling shots, and events and activities of all kinds. Whatever your story is, I'm here to capture it.
