New photos

I don't know what's happening to me but I'm having a crazy photography fever, and all I want to do is to take pictures. And more. And more. And more.

So yesterday I got a random idea. And Topi and I (ok just Topi) made a loooot of little holes on an icecream box. And the light went through it.

The pictures are... here:

I'm quit proud of them.. Even though people have for some reason enjoyed commenting with stupid jokes about diseases (what the hell people seriously?)

Anyway, 

The big project I've been planning for weeks, months and years is coming true and getting bigger everyday. My friend Olli Viljamaa joined me on it and we have great plans. I'm so excited!

I was supposed to shoot and start the project last monday, but it didn't happen. It's okay because it's just postponed for the next week! 

Argghhh! I wanna take pictures again ! And I really can't wait for the shooting coming with another photographer friend Pauli Riikonen. I have an idea and all I need is to realize it. 

So.

I think what I'm gonna do now is wait for my boyfriend and surprise him by asking him to be my model because I JUST WANNA PHOTOGRAPH.

I'm going crazy.

See you in the next article !

Oh, and I have an advice for any photographer.

Date with someone.

You'll always find yourself a model of your taste ;-)

Magical stuff

So ! Today I was at Suomenlinna with my finnish photographer friends. It was a great day and I randomly decided to take a picture of my friend Jenny. Because the sea suddenly looked like the way I love it (I always photoshop my water picture with fog and stuff). 

And I took this picture:

I'm proud of it because it looks like my picture ! 

Even though I think it's important as an artist to be open minded and try different stuff, I'm so damn happy to have recognizable style ! I don't want to think about it too much, I want to keep on shooting with my heart and feelings. But it looks like they always take me to this kind of magical picture.

THAT'S what I wanna do.

And I want to mix it with fashion because as I said in the previous article, I love fashion like the stars above, I'll love till I'll die (yeah yeah dire straits yeah)

Tomorrow I'm gonna start a project I've been thinking about since I took this picture here 

Love is magic!

If you can love, you are pure.

Yep but the picture above is just a preview of what's coming. It will be big.

I hope they will look good as pictures, but if they don't, I don't care that much because it's all about the message.

I'm so excited!

Oh and look at my portfolio

...I'm tired...

Goodnight!

Silver and Gold

I still haven't found any nice "real" title for one of my latest photoseries :(

I can't actually remember where I got the idea from, but I wanted to paint my boyfriend in silver. Then I decided I wanted to paint myself in gold.

And use the studio.

Then I took pictures.

And this came out.

It really is a shame people don't like studio pictures as much as conceptual location pictures.

But,

I actually DON'T CARE at all, because in the end the person I want to shoot for is me and only me.

Of course, it's nice to know if people like my work. I just got more than 1000 fans on facebook and it felt kind of cool even though that's not the most important thing.

I should publish the others new photos I took in another blog post but I think it's better in only one article, I think.

SO SO SO,

I've been busy with all kind of photography work since I quit my last job, but I won't publish them because they are just.. work....

Here I publish stuff I do for myself and if it's client work, I publish it only if I really do like them.

Yeah whatever,

I participated in a creative sprint. Once a month you get a theme, a word, and you have to take a picture in 48h. This month the theme was secret, so I took a shot. I'm not proud at all :D But people seemed to like the picture more than my studio pictures. :< Of course!

Then I shot for Sirus. I so wanted to try male fashion. Because I LOVE fashion, but for a reason or another, I have never really tried..

Now I know for sure I want to shoot fashion (and of course conceptual ). But my dream would  be to make my own style and mix up fashion and magical conceptual. I would be aweeesome!

                                   

 

 

Hahaha

they are not well oganized because I don't know how to use blogspot correctly 8)

Photography camp 2013

So, once again I was at the photography summer camp that "nuoret valokuvaajat" (young photographers of finland) organized. Awesome as always. :)

I was quite inspired, and for the first time in a long time I took conceptual photos just the way I like them.

Now I'm feeling motivated again about photography and getting better.

I'm happy about my life right now, because all I have to care about is photography.

I decided to start a tumblr. :) I really wanted to have a place I could just put all my random nice pictures.

I also thought it would be awesome to do a photo diary. Taking pictures all the time really makes better in photography, and it's nice to have all memories saved.
