"You've got to be able to live up to something. Even a bad reputation."
                                                 -Helmut Newton

I like to shoot people. Portraits, model portfolios, documentary - almost whatever just as long as people are involved.
I work at communal communication, photographing, doing layout and writing to the staff magazine.
Besides the work I haven't been photographing nearly enough to satisfy my "artistic needs" and just for the fun of it, but OD would be a good excuse to try harder. 
I'm looking forward to see just how crazy and creative people will get and also how people might respond to pictures I have taken.
Besides photography I'm addicted to going to the gym, MMA, coffee and penguins.

"Asioilla on tapana lutviutua"

Lost somewhere in between. There are days when I actually can achieve something worth publishing.
Have been shooting for Kaupunkilehti VARTTI (Local newspaper) about five years now. Usually every image has a person in it. Doing stuff. Weird stuff. From a documentary point of view. OD is an excellent opportunity to fuck up without pissing off the editor.

Been studying photography on/off at www.vvi.fi , a small school located in Tampere.  Nowadays I´m aiming high and getting into aviation photography. 

If I go out without my D3 I might find myself from:

-An aeroplane
-Mountain biking
-Basketball court
-Cafe Medicin Man
-My bed

"Se mikä on kliffaa, tee se tänään, niin voit tehdä sen huomenna uudestaaan." 
("Do what's fun today, so that you can do it again tomorrow.")

Usually my pictures contain people and have some sort of humour in them. Sometimes I also photograph my dear hobbies - snowboarding and skateboarding. I just go with the vibes.
My profession? I'm a production supervisor(?). 
And I have absolutely no clue why I'm in this OD thing. Propably because Anne told me to.
In general I don't know what I'm trying to achieve with my pictures, but atleast I laughed my ass off when I heard that the directors of customer services at Fortum (electricity company) didn't like one of my pictures.

I shoot people. Trough the lens. I'm a wedding and portrait photographer from Turenki, near Hämeenlinna. I do commercial and documentary photography to make ends meet. Besides portraits, I make graphic design and create websites for private and public clients.

Photography is my way of looking the surroundings. The viewfinder makes things clear, by showing only the things that matter.
