NSFF Gold for Dystopia photo video from Nordiskt Fotomästerskap Bildspel 2023. The photo series “Dystopia” was completed some time ago, but I decided to turn it into a video presentation when a photo competition was announced by the Nordic Society of Photography. These photos from the series are still dear to me and, considering the...

“Kerroksia” Photo Exhibition Now Open
My photography exhibition ”Kerroksia” (“Layers”) in Art centre Väinölä, Varkaus, Finland 3.9.-28.9.2018. For the silhouette image I used softbox behind me. Works great. I traced the image in Inkscape by hand and imported it in photoshop. I wanted a retro look and choose an appropriate font for that. Heavy grain and color grading finished the...

Dystopia in The Artbo
After retirement I have expressed a lot of my feelings in my photographs. It has been very therapeutic. When making this series I went through my mental journey in the past years by picturing it as a dystopian society. Little human facing a faceless society was an easy role to play. I have taken a...
Dystopia – Fotofinlandia Finalist
More for the series, this time with tyranny theme. I made couple of things for this image. I needed baton and fake plastic ones with postage were more expensive than cheap garden hoe. I just added some paracord to make a handle. I also think this wooden one worked much better in the picture which...
Tyranny

Dystopian Democratic Republic
Well that didn’t take long. I couldn’t help myself and I had to dig up Mr Black from the grave. I was watching tv series which had a police interrogation scene it in. I thought that I missed that from the dystopian series. Next day I was walking for an hour and all the pieces...
