📷 19 years ago, this 15 years old boy got into photography. He was... Quite bad at it. But he kept practicing.

This page is the result of those +10,000 hours of practice.

Mämmi of course. It's really good with cream, but looks like something... Quite else.

Deep Within 📷

Just like in photography where shadows give meaning to the light, so does life; sometimes life is hard and in those times, we wish things were easier. But it's precisely those times that give contrast and meaning to the happy moments.

Just Breathe 📷

Hi! A quick announcement: I started a Youtube channel. I'm not sure where I'm taking it yet.

But one thing I know: I want to make something relaxing — something that conveys the same kind of feeling my photography might.

Come walk with me:

Nightless Night 📷

In Lapland, Finland, summer brings a magical time when the sun never sets. For weeks, you can wander in the warm silence of the night, basking in endless light.

This was that time — just us, and the gentle sounds of the river; a nightless night I’ll forever cherish.

Ode to Kindness 📷

While snapping photos, an elderly man passed by me. He paused, pointed to an unassuming path behind him, and simply said "try there." Curious, I followed. This was the breathtaking view that greeted me.

It's often the smallest gestures that leave the biggest impact.

Breeze of Freedom 📷

Hey everyone, it's been a while!

Life has a way of sweeping us up, leaving little time for the things we love. But even an hour or two in the forest brings me back to a place of calm.

This, was such a sight in person.

Sunset 📷

Some days, it feels like nothing goes your way. This day was one of those days for me. Yet, in the end, it was all worthwhile – gazing at this gorgeous sunset while savoring a steaming cup of coffee, brewed over the crackling fire. 🔥☕️

Autumn Fells 📷

It was snowing in the distance when I took this, you can just barely see it in this picture. Soon the clouds reached us, it started snowing at our location as well. We hadn't prepared for snow at all, it was such a memorable experience.

Rauno 📷

From archives, I took this ~5 years ago of my cousin's dog Rauno. I don't know what breed he is, but he is the most hyper active dog I've ever known. 😂

Quick pet photography tip: snacks are your best friend.

In the Wild 📷

When walking in the snowy woods, all my responsibilities, worries regarding money, job, the society.... It all just melts away. Nothing we humans do can beat the nature and its cycle of life. Humbling, but it reminds me I'm alive.

In photography, it's not the subject that matters – it's how you express it.

Surely I could, if I knew how to? 😅

And sorry if this is a stupid question, but how do I even see replies to posts? When I tap on the comments icon on a post (the icon that shows how many comments a post has), I see no comments at all.

I only see replies to my own comments in the activity tab. 🤔

My beautiful fiancée. ❤️ This was taken at 230mm on Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. The lighting was absolutely perfect for this type of portrait and she really knows how to pose. 😁

Mr. Hupsu Miukunen. He is very photogenic, likes to model. He is the super model of our household. 😺 Those eyes though, huh?

Taken with S23 Ultra 10x lens, indoors with less than optimal lighting. Still, I'm happy with the picture. 😄

The feeling when you walk in calm forest, with trees towering above your head and snow crunching below your feet with every step. Ah. #photography #forest #snow #mobilephoto
