I’m a photographer originally from Kemi, but I’ve been living in Oulu since the spring of 2022. I have a degree in Visual Expression, and I hold a professional photographer's qualification.

 

Ever since I was a child, photography has been an important part of my life. It started as a hobby, but my skills and interest towards photography kept on growing as time went on, so I decided to pursue a degree in Visual Expression while also being in high school. I studied Visual Expression at Lappia in Tornio and graduated in the spring of 2019.

 

The year 2019 ended up being one of the most important turning points in my career. I started working as a light entrepreneur in the fall, doing photoshoots. At first, my clients were mainly people that I already knew but after a couple of years, I had become a well-known photographer in Kemi.

 

In the summer of 2020, I decided to continue my studies in Tornio, this time aiming for a vocational qualification in photography. I began my studies in the fall and got my professional photographer's qualification in June 2022. After graduation I moved to Oulu, and as my client base was mainly in and around Kemi, I pretty much started from scratch.

​

In the spring of 2023, my 9-5 job started to feel draining and took too much energy away from photography. In all honesty, having a daytime job had been making things a bit more difficult for quite some time at that point. I registered as a job seeker, hoping to find a job in my own field. As a result, I got to take part in Business Coaching for young adults, which eventually led to me buying Kulmakuvaamo. That’s my story in a nutshell!

​

So, that’s the person behind the camera. Personally, I would describe myself as a pretty chill, friendly person with a passion for capturing the important moments in your life!
