AUTHOR
I am a 65 year old street photographer from Helsinki, Finland. I take my pictures very quickly, rather on the go without thinking or planning too much. Sort of like look-arrange-shoot and then I continue my way. My way of working is very simple and direct. I take three different types of street photos; the human-being on the street, the human being in the street landscape and general street landscapes where the human-being is present.

In 2016 I rediscovered landscape photography and my main interest lies within capturing light and graphical shapes and elements within the landscapes. This is a totally new world for me, but I take these photos in a similar fashion as I take my street pictures; quickly without overthinking as I do on busy streets. The technical processing of these landscape shots is however very different from processing street shots. It is much slower and a more creative activity. I also use these landscape pictures as a general learning mechanism in improving my technical processing competencies.

I have mainly taken my photos around Helsinki and Espoo where I live in Finland. Other locations have been London, Oxford, New York and areas around England, Dublin and Ireland in general, as well as the West and the South coast of France, Malta and Crete in the Mediterranean and Tallinn in Estonia.
