All windows have been broken for a long time. Some have still some pieces attached and look nice with the strobe.
Old crapper in the house across the yard. Not sure if this is teachers crapper. There was also one with multiple holes behind the rightmost door, probably for the pupils.
The schoolyard is now quite full of vegetation. Good for some autumn shots.
Horror-themed photoshoot for Halloween. This is the same abandoned school as in Black Widow photos. I will be posting several of these before Halloween.
Last days to see Kuopio Camera Club “Valokuvalla kerrottua” photo exhibition in Kuopio Main Library 27.09 – 9.10.2021.
Finalist and Honorable mention from Finnish Photo Awards in creative portrait section.
I wanted to make something colourful for the “black” theme. The original idea came from the painting “The Son of Man” by René Magritte. I decided to make something similar for myself. I needed colourful fruit, and I found oranges in the kitchen. I used the same colour for the background.
I was assisting Merja and Rowenna Fox in their shoot. During the shoot, I had an opportunity to take a couple of frames myself. From the props we had in hand, I selected this raven. It had an unpleasant smell but looked good in the image.
Happy to be a part of the “Borderless” Exhibition located in Galeri RJ Katamsi, ISI Yogyakarta, Indonesia, a collaboration between Photography Society of America Worldwide and Institut Seni Indonesia Yogyakarta.
A bit more photoshop intensive image. It’s been a while since I have done these crazy humour images. Nice to do this kind of stuff too. It’s kind of a counterbalance for the darker images I usually do.
The monthly theme in the local camera club is humour. I thought I could do a couple of images to it. To get creative juices flowing after The Dark Room series and summer break. I made the models from simple accessories. The school desk took some time, and I decided to only make one and...

Couple of images in Headliner – Photo Magazine. Magazine was created as a closing project for the University of Art Zürich by creationship student Daniel Tscharner.
This idea is from a drawing from one of my favourite artist Hugleikur Dagsson. And the idea for the drawing comes from Depeche Mode song Personal Jesus so it kind of goes with the musical theme of this series. This is the last image for this series at least for now. I might continue it...
I got this idea from a friend. I immediately checked the net for used boxing gloves and found these really nice looking old ones for a nice price. The poster was designed in photoshop and added later. I already had that in mind when shooting, so I had the image ready. The old paper texture...
This one took some editing time. I made the hole from XPS foam and added several textures to it. Skeleton hands were taken individually using my full-size skeleton. I could have done the broken rope when shooting but the idea arrived at me when editing. So I cut and unthreaded the rope and shot it...
For the props, I had to go to the storage at the end of our building to find the old Finnish army helmet that I have not used for a long time. The words from the 1984 book were a perfect fit for the theme of this image so I added them as a poster...
I made this cross with strings for the life of an artist series. I just removed the “flags” and it was ready for this image. I was first thinking about hooks like in real body suspension but decided to go to a more surreal route by ropes blending to the body. You are like a...
