Lightroom-työnkulku

By |

Opettaessani sanon usein, että Light­roomin kunnol­linen haltuunotto on paras sijoitus, mitä valoku­vaaja voi itselleen ja työlleen tehdä. Olen opettanut useissa eri paikoissa ja törmännyt jatku­vasti samaan ongelmaan kuvaa­jilla, oli kyse sitten amatöö­reistä tai ammat­ti­lai­sista: ymmärrys työnkulun sujuvuu­desta ja merki­tyk­sestä proses­sissa ontuu pahasti. Ihmiset kuvaavat välillä jpg:tä, välillä RAW:ta, nimeävät kuvat miten sattuu ja tallen­tavat lähim­mälle koneessa kiinni …

“Sielunmaisema” – exhibition until September 22, 2022

By |

In my previous post I talked a bit about my students. The class of spring 2022 was very intense and special… and when the semester ended, everyone felt like it came to an end too soon. So within two weeks they had decided that they would do a small exhibition in the fall and had even reserved a venue for it. They needed …

For a long time I have wanted to share some moments of my past year — as it has been one incre­dible journey and I have enjoyed it so much. But I have not found the words to do so. Then one of my students from the spring semester posted this. Shot and edited by the super talented Ville Sakki from …

Starting to Write Again

 Something I have been thinking for a while now, but never got to it. Seemed like there was always something on the way. But now I feel time has come to do it and I decided to reactivate my writing again. I finished my active pressp­ho­to­graphy career already several years ago (after Sotchi Olympics it was clear that an …

I’ve been trying to understand — like all of us I suppose — what is the thing we are going thru with this all embracing pandemic. What is the best course of action, where do I stand in this. Not that my opinion really matters, but in principle: as indivi­duals I think we should stay as informed as possible …

Looking into the mirror of my life

Looking into the mirror of my life

(Origi­nally published in Medium, Jan. 2020) Looking into the mirror of my life New Year, the time of the year when people make resolu­tions. I didn’t. I won’t. But I decide to take a deep look into a mirror and ask some questions. Even if I wouldn’t like the answers I thought it might be worth asking. Questions touching the core, the essence …

The Original Sin of Photography

The Original Sin of Photography

By |

(Origi­nally published in MEDIUM) No. It was not Photoshop, nor going digital. Not iPhone, nor touch devices in general. And it was no apple from a tree someone ate a long time ago. But there was a definite, decisive moment. It was the moment we turned the camera from the world into ourselves. When we lost the curiosity and …

One aspect of being independent freelancer has always been a bit of a soft spot for me. It is working alone. Thus every oppor­tunity to work together with a profes­sional, solid team is a blessing which I enjoy very much. Some time ago, actually two years ago already, Petteri Saario – one of our most highly respected award winning nature documen­ta­rists – and …

A project I started about ten years ago… and almost immediately abandoned as flash became obsolete and HTML5 was still in its infancy. But. Things have changed and I thought it would be a good time to rekindle this one. I was changing ISP the other day and on the server I found a folder full of panoramas I had shot years ago. So …
