ENTRY DESCRIPTION
Early morning hours spent observing Black-throated divers on Lake Meiko in Kirkkonummi, Finland proved to be a rewarding experience. As one of the most visually striking birds in Finland, I sought to create a minimalist portrait of these majestic creatures. One morning, I was able to capture this image against a pleasing background with even lighting.

AUTHOR
I am an amateur wildlife photographer, fortunate enough to be based amidst the enchanting landscapes of Finland. While my main passion lies in capturing the captivating world of birds and other wildlife, I also seize any opportunity to turn my lens towards the breathtaking landscapes that unfold before me.

In my photographic journey, I find myself drawn to the essence of minimalism. Seeking simplicity, I strive to distill the essence of birds, focusing on their natural elegance and delicate details.

I do most of my photography up north, where the serene beauty of Finland's winter landscapes serves as an ideal backdrop for my subjects. The snow-laden surroundings offer a unique simplicity for any wildlife encounter. However, I also find great joy in venturing further afield to warmer climates, exploring new territories and capturing species that are new to my lens.
