  • Your best image from 2021.

    Your best image from 2021.

    I will have a feedback Live Stream on the 14th of January. I want to give feedback to your best image from 2021.

    Most likely it won’t be an easy task. I went through my best images month by month. For me it was not easy. There were a few months that I did not photograph that much.

    Here is a link for you to send your image.

  • Personal Development Workshop with Matti Sulanto in August 2022.

    Personal Development Photography Workshop is my workshop with Matti Sulanto. We will have the workshop in Helsinki Finland, in August 2022. The exact dates are from 1st to the 5th.

    Personal Development

    The workshop’s whole idea is your Personal Development. The goal for you is not to start making images like me and Matti. The goal is to develop your own style. We will start from your interests and try to develop your own photograph towards your goal. Of course, we will guide you along the way and help you to find the goal.

    We will gather every day at this nice old building called Kiseleff’s house. It is an old sugar refinery and later a department store. Now it is a co-working space with conference rooms, called Sofia Helsinki.

    The day starts with a photo feedback session.

    We will start every morning at 8.30 AM for photo critic. We will watch images from the assignment that was given the day before. Yes, there will be an assignment for every day.

    Every day we will also go to different locations in Helsinki. There will be a variety of locations, urban areas, parks, and nature reserves. We will also make a trip to Suomenlinna island, an old fortress from the 18th century in front of Helsinki.

    Photography and great food!

    The main thing is of course photography, but we will also have three dinners together. (included in the price). So it is also having some leisure time and discussions about photography over dinner. We have picked very good restaurants that offer traditional Finnish and Scandinavian cuisine.

    Our goal with Matti is to make this Personal Development a great experience in many ways.

    We still have a few spots left and if you want more info go to our website: www.helsinkiworkshops.fi

    More info from our website and videos!

    More info can also be found from videos I and Matti have made about our Workshop:

    How to take Photos at Night?

    The assignment and feedback is back!

    Nighttime is my favorite time to photograph. I get going when it is getting dark. How about you?
    I have a video about nighttime photography. There are some tips & tricks on nighttime photography. In the video, I also have an assignment for you. If you have not seen the video, watch it from here.

    If you have, you can go straight to the submit page. On the 28th of December, I will have a Live Stream and give feedback on some of the images that have been submitted. I will most likely provide input for about 30-35 images max. That is about the amount I can do in two hours.

    I hope to see your image during the livestream!
