The first exhibition of Born A Hero project is over. It’s been such a pleasure and a humbling experience to meet these kids and their parents for a photo shoot and do their portraits for the exhibition.

It’s not all about the camera! Here is the story of how an artistic photo started from a basic idea and how it grown into something developed.

My friend Mikko Lyytikäinen and I got selected to be the official photographers at the Finnish Film industry Jussi awards gala. Suomalainen elokuvapalkinto Jussi-gaala.

Here are the first kids who came to the studio and got their photos done for the Born A Hero project. A few others have booked already their photo shoot and we are still looking for a few more to participate in this empowering art project.

Last week I made an old-fashioned styled photo with my friend and model Dizzy Dazzling. Call me old fashioned, because I am. After a long time, I used again with my old Canon’s tilt-shift objectives, manual focus and all.

Previous to taking photos of their wedding day, Sonja and Rami warned me that they might a bit silly but it's all in good fun. Oh, yeah, I said. Please do! So here are the photos of this couple. Sometimes fun, sometimes romantic, all goodness :)

Here are the photos of Juuli and Valentine's wedding day. Time had to pass to this day, distance had to be crossed between countries and language barriers had to go down. Congratulations, girls!

Last weekend was the wedding of Jarmo and Sonja. I'm very happy to show this wedding portrait which we just had to prepare half a year before the biggest day. Funny though, that tis lovely couple endure both very cold and very hot for their photo shoot first, and then the wedding day. Love must endure everything, I guess. :)
