The light of darkness
The home will be converted into a studio to test the lighting possibilities. The idea of creating a black and white image has been on my mind. The hallway in the hallway is dim enough to build a dark-black image. I hung a dark sheet behind the model, in front of the intermediate door in the hallway. I would also need dark sheets on the sides, so the white walls wouldn't reflect the light. For the light source, I used a ring light, which I placed in the toilet area and only let a sliver of light through the doorway...

Call for proposals
Body positivity, body image, that's what we're all about. Body. Image matters. The wonderful, bubblingly positive psychologist Katarina Meskanen talks about the theme of I am me. She encourages you to treat your body with gentle thoughts rather than whips. Support your body with supportive thoughts. Other people's thoughts are not our own thoughts, but our own thoughts about the body are what determine what kind of olo...

Back to the sources of superstar photos
Four years ago, I held a photography exhibition called "You are the star of your own life", when I felt the need to emphasise my own responsibility and choice in my own life. I was therefore very interested in asking others about their choices on their own paths. For the exhibition, I got nine beautiful, revealing and courageous stories from behind the faces. Each one so very different. I have made choices, leaps and bounds...

The target case for stagnation
We are in the midst of a boom in housing sales orders. Stow away the clutter, straighten the carpets and curtains, throw a fluffy blanket casually on the sofa. Clean and lived-in. And bright photographs to broaden the experience of the squares. Yes, inviting photos of the apartment are more inviting to look at and go on location than stale, no-effect shots. Here's a home styled by stylist Mari Hallinen and one of mine...

Minute rental
Good photographs of your home are an essential part of a successful sale or rental. This is probably quite obvious to everyone in theory, but looking through the advertisements it seems that it is not so obvious in practice. But I did get a buzz of satisfaction on my bench when I was able to make a textbook example of this. It so happened that on Saturday we photographed a neat twin, on Sunday morning the owner put the photos in his ad and...

Greenhouse
A milieu is a person who photographs in a milieu. Of course. I think it's a treat to find the right angle in the location to position the subject and find the shot. If the milieu and the person have some link, for example, story-wise, or even a unifying colour or a recurring shape, the image becomes more beautiful than the two. Could you think of a more appropriate link than the red interior and the red lips of the subject, brilliant foresight...

I grew up in
The face - that's what we're wearing here. Friendly ones are the best. The basic framework of the appearance is given, but you can fine-tune it yourself. Yes, our long-term choices in life also affect our appearance: what kind of diet we eat, whether we like boxing or open-air sailing, whether worrying puts our shoulders on edge or whether a healthy self-esteem straightens our backs, whether nights spent up with glasses of red wine under our eyes or whether smoking makes us look thin...

Block party
The real festival of the show was Blockfest in Tampere. A huge event area with three stages attracted young people. The audience wanted to see great artists and clearly wanted to be seen for themselves. The atmosphere of the event could be described as electric and energetic. Kaslink was the event sponsor and I photographed the Aito bar, the artists and the atmosphere. Part of the shoot slipped into a fashion photography scene. Is your company involved in an event that would...
