I got my MFIAP honour diploma. MFIAP is applied with twenty image series. Mine was “The Dark Room” series.
My interview (in Finnish) at mielitekomedia.fi by Markus Laakso.
I had couple of more images left from the photoshoot with my son. One, two, Freddy’s coming for you..
This was a last minute idea when I was moving the chair out of the way. Why not not use it in one of the images to get some variety.
I first bought the Freddy Krueger glove to put it on the shelve. Then I thought that why not make a photo shoot out of it. To make an outfit complete, I needed to buy a couple of more things like the mask and the iconic shirt. My son promised to be Freddy, and I...
I broke the remote control port from my D800 years ago. For D850, I wanted a cable relief to keep my ports intact. For the GFX-50s, I wanted something similar too. It has the battery compartment in a weird place, and the only L-plate I could find that allows easy battery change was Arca-Swiss Classic...
One Eyeland Photography Awards 2021 Finalist – “The Dark Room”
I wanted to add an intro video to my youtube channel and therefore played with my photos in DaVinci resolve. It’s a very capable program which also means not the easiest one. I took my time and learned a lot more about making the animations, speed ramps, etc. and now have a couple of new...

2nd Place – Merit of Excellence for Mental Wheel in Fine Art from 15th International Color Awards, 2022.
I rarely do mono images, but these one-light portraits worked nicely in black and white. These images were quite ready from the camera, which is rare for me. I usually have much more layers in photoshop, but this was a nice change.
We took quite a lot of poses with the katana sword. In photoshop, I started to think about manga comics and decided to try something similar visually. I ended up doing this triptych with three different poses from the shoot.
I haven’t used the camera club studio for a while. The corridor to the studio has these massive metal doors. I took my chair with me and carried it to the place for this shot. In photoshop, I tightened the doorway a little since it was wide.
These kind of wigs are hard to photograph for me. They shine quite unnaturally and have lot, I mean a lot, of flyaway hair to edit. Also the rim lights were a bit hot but I think I managed to get the hair in a state that looks good to me.
It took some time to finish these vampire images since me and my wife renovated our bedroom. At some point one wall was in bare concrete so I took some photos for textures. That ended up straight to the background of these images with some older textures.
I have dome vampire themes before and it was time to get back to theme of longer teeth. I was tethering with Lightroom and decided to add our living room tv as a second display to Macbook Air. It was really simple using Apple TV and model could see the image right a way in...
I saw a project on youtube that used a neon-like led strip. It looked so interesting that I searched for more. The projects that I found used CNC carved channels for the led strip. Since I don’t own or have access to CNC, I used a 3D printer. For the final touch, I used wifi...
I ripped off the legs of an old light stand, so it’s just a handheld pole with the light. I also want to use the camera remote control when holding the light. That way, I can operate my camera on a tripod when I don’t have an assistant. The STL file for the remote holder...
I wanted to give a handmade wallet as a Christmas gift. I could not find a template that I was entirely happy with, so I took pieces from here and there and designed my template. It’s a minimalist wallet with two card slots and a pocket in the middle for some cash. You can download...
