Hi, I’m Christo Montes.
I’m an award winning freelance cameraman and cinematographer based in Auckland, New Zealand. I provide reliable camera department services for commercial, documentary, and corporate film projects nationwide.
A significant part of my work involves stepping in for overseas clients who can’t travel to New Zealand.
When you’re managing a shoot from afar, clear communication is everything and that is something I take very seriously.
My clients consistently highlight that I’m highly professional, responsive, and genuinely easy to work with. Whether I’m acting as a solo Auckland camera operator or leading a full camera crew, my goal is simple: to capture great footage that tells your story.
As a working Director of Photography in the New Zealand film and television industry, I take pride in bringing technical skill and a sharp eye to every shoot, helping producers get exactly the shots they need with the least friction possible.
Do you have a project you need to discuss?
