Hi!
I am a photographer based in Turku, Finland. To me, the real world is the most fascinating thing – that's why all my work is documentary by nature.
I specialize in portraits, events and photojournalism.
Perhaps the best thing about being a photographer is the chance to document life. Even as a kid I was always fascinated by photographs and their incredible ability to stop time.
I am a photojournalist by education. My photographs taken for Finnish News Agency (STT-Lehtikuva) have been published in all major Finnish newspapers and also abroad (e.g. Reuters).
Alongside photography, I work with photos & audiovisual media in different ways, mainly as a photo editor and journalist. I help make impactful non-fiction books, news and documentary films.
