Bio

I am a Finnish photographer specializing in capturing the subtleties of craftsmanship and the narratives of daily life. I work as a freelance photographer serving clients across Germany and Finland, including a role as a stringer for Helsingin Sanomat, Finland's leading national newspaper. In this capacity, I cover a range of subjects from current events and stories to in-depth interviews focused on Germany.

Beyond still photography, I am skilled in videography and video editing, crafting compelling visual stories through moving images. I hold a degree in Contemporary Photographic Arts from The University for the Creative Arts in the UK.

My photographic journey began at Zalando, where I honed my skills as a product photographer and retoucher for over four years. This experience was followed by a creative stint at Carhartt Work in Progress, deepening my expertise in capturing the essence of modern workwear.

Today, my work primarily focuses on the artistry of craftsmen and women, including bespoke tailors, shoemakers, weavers, and other artisans. This dedication to artisanal beauty is also expressed through my co-founding role at Der Feine Herr, an online magazine that celebrates bespoke menswear.

My photography and stories have been featured in several prestigious publications, including VOGUE (Germany), Helsingin Sanomat, Architectural Digest (Germany), Kodin Kuvalehti, Deko-Lehti, Antiikki & Design, Koti ja Keittiö, BILD, Berliner Zeitung and Journalistilehti.

Throughout my career, I've collaborated with numerous renowned brands, companies, and institutions, enriching my professional journey and broadening my visual repertoire.
