ENTRY DESCRIPTION
In his picture “I’m rising”, the artist seeks to describe the unique soul of a human and the love that feeds it as a counterforce to darkness. The Nordic nature, dark winters, polar lights and nightless nights inspire the photographer. Both light and darkness are present.

Made with lightpainting, single photo. Only minor exposure and color correction in Lightroom.

AUTHOR
Sami Voutilainen (@vousa) is an experimental visual creative from Jyväskylä, Finland who specializes in expression abstracts and visual storytelling in his photography.

As an artist, Sami Voutilainen prefers not to stand still. Learning and experimenting are key elements in his perception and understanding of the world. However, photography is not a technical skill alone, but the most crucial factors are the story and the mood. A camera is a filter between the photographer and the world: both outside but still there, present in the moment. When taking a photograph, everything else fades away and all that is left is the photographer, the camera and the moment (captured).

In photography, always try something new. Trust your instincts, let intuition decide.
