I’ve been living in Finland since November 2006 and never been to Lapland, this fact was seen as a oddity to my good friend, esteemed colleague and fellow photographer – Jouni Ranta. So, a little while back, Jouni kindly asked me to accompany him on a 10 day trip to his cabin in Kaukonen, way, [...]
Last weekend, Tuuli and I packed up and headed for the cottage to break away from the grind of city life. Making everything stop, hard to do at times but none the less essential for a healthy mind.
After long lasts, say hello to Saara Salmi. An artist, illustrator and photographer from Helsinki City. Saara and I have been talking about doing a shoot for a year or more but schedules and the daily requirements have often presented obstacles.

A huge thanks to Jenni and Veera for such a job well done, the skies opened up on us a fair few times during our session but we all emerged victoriously!
Shooting a lovely 1 year old bundle of mischief, a very new experience for me. I’m aware of the golden saying ‘Never work with kids or animals’, I’ve done a few shoots with animals before but not a 1 year old toddler. I had a really good time with the family, but being honest I [...]
Meet Leslie Hyde, Jonathan Hutchings and Frank Boyle. Easily some of the most interesting blokes I have met in a good while. Jon, Les and Frank were former performers in The Finn Brit Players before they began touring “Sketch On The Rocks”, a comedy sketch show in connection with ECT (English Theatre Company) during the [...]
