Ido Simantov IDO-NYC Photographer

Ido Siman-Tov is an NYC-based photographer, videographer, director, art director.

Ido Siman-Tov is a New York City–based photographer and videographer who has spent more than 15 years documenting the city, its people, and the moments that unfold within it.

Originally from Israel, Ido sees New York with both familiarity and curiosity. Much of his personal work begins with walking through the city and observing people, light, reflections, and quiet details that might otherwise go unnoticed. He also works with analog film photography, drawn to its slower and more intentional process.

Professionally, Ido photographs and films weddings, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, engagements, private celebrations, portraits, and corporate events. He also creates brand photography, social media Reels, and cinematic short-form video for restaurants, cafés, beauty brands, hospitality, real estate, and other businesses.

Whether documenting a meaningful ceremony or creating a visual story for a brand, his approach remains attentive, natural, and focused on genuine moments rather than overly staged ones.

Based in New York City, Ido works throughout NYC, Long Island, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Philadelphia, with travel available upon request.

For selected video projects, Ido collaborates with JulyPI Studio by Iuliia Prokopiv, a photographer and filmmaker specializing in cinematic visual storytelling. [View their motion work.]
