– “I can photograph you with the green Škoda for this series.”– “No, I prefer the electric bike.”– “Well, that’s fine as well.”That was the conversation with my wife to get her to be part of the “How I Move” series. I wanted the water behind the bike to be smoother. It was simple enough,...

How I Move – Sari

Another image pair for the “How I Move” series. Horses are a bit trickier to photograph in this style. While he was a good sport there is always a little movement between frames like it would with humans too. Takes a bit longer in post and have to use different techniques for layer blending but...

How I Move – Henna

I was going to continue the “How I Move” series earlier, but the pandemic got in the way. But I think now is a good time to continue this project. For a first new pair of images I photographing Kari and his Triumph. If you want to join in the series there is more info...

How I Move – PX3 Silver

HM for “How I Move” (5 images) in People: Portrait category and HM for “Masculinity” (5 images) in Fine Art: Conceptual category from ND Awards 2019.

Last one for the “How I move” series this summer. It’s a self portrait and my favourite way of moving is walking…

I did this “How I Move” shoot as a training for the local camera club. Camera club has it’s studio in a cave/air-raid shelter so we drove the Fiat 500 inside. It had plenty of room for the car.

How I Move – Lauri

Another Yamaha VMax for the series. Owner liked the locomotive background of the first one so I used it for this one too. This locomotive is from the Kuopio railway station.

How I Move – Matti

Next in line for “How I Move” series was first transportation that mankind ever had (other than feet). It was challenging to light the subject similarly than the other images but I got enough shots to stitch them together in photoshop.

How I Move – Katja

This time I photographed both the portrait and the transportation on location. My background fabric was kind of pathetic but it did what it supposed to do and since I texture it anyway it does not really matter that much. A newer car was yet again a bit different to photograph. Next time some exposures...

How I Move – Laura

Niko has this wonderful Volkswagen Beetle so I asked him to be part of my “How I Move” series. It had it’s own thoughts about being photographed and it didn’t start from the parking lot. No problem we photographed the car there and I added the background we had in mind in post. I had...

How I Move – Niko

Olli dropped by and we took this image pair for the the “How I Move” -series. Already had couple of motorbikes but this is first bicycle. Different vehicles are a bit different to photograph. Learning new things from every shoot.

How I Move – Olli

Next one for the “How I Move” project. There is a nice looking forest just beside the road in Puijo so we photographed this bike there. There was more than enough of mosquitos in the forest so we didn’t want to spent more time photographing that we had to. One even ended in the final...

How I Move – Jake

Another summer project is getting first pictures. It’s a series of image pairs with portrait and how different peoples move from place A to B. Portrait is photographed in studio or on location with one light setup and simple background. “Conveyance” is light painted with one strobe on location.

How I Move – Markus

Joel Grimes has done images from bikers and bikes. I like his style and we tested something similar with Markku. Not sure if this is going to be series or not. It could also include more than bikes, like pink scooters and old cars. This shoot did not go as planned. We were going to...
