Human Nature is a creation of wonderful team work with model Oona Antila and body painter Riina Laine. A frame is shot with a UV lights and video background projection.

A classic Rembrandt low-key lighting. Beautiful model Oona Antila got that fragile but still sensual mood we were after and result is this painting-like portrait.

Beautiful model (Melina Keltaniemi), wind machine and neon led tubes - you don't need anything else to create amazing frame. Lights: Godox SZ150R + Godox TL60 x2. Camera & Lens: Sony A7iv + Tamron 35-150mm 2.0-2.8

This frame is shot in a studio where we did build an oasis. Lighting is done is using read plants and background created using fabrics with sparkles. Thank you Ashma Aziz for modelling. This frame is one of my all time favorites.

Hight CR soft light, awesome model and wind machine. Recipe for a good photo. It took over 30 tries to get this frame - either wind was blowing hair to much or too little - it is tricky but when you get it right, it is definitely worth it.

This photo is a combination of led tubes and video projector (home-made-gobo). Stripe gobo gives nice shapes and flows through model's (elegant Veera Kankare) natural curves. Expression and tones are perfect for this kind of moody photo.

Ultraviolet photo. I used a mix of UV and RGB led light in this one. Big thanks to our stunning model Oona Antila and stylist Katarina Kantanen. Good team makes a difference.

A mix of slit gobo and RGB led light. I also used a wind machine to create flowing hair. Model in this frame is talented Veera Kankare. I like creative light and trying out new things.

Cold September evening. Assistant figthting against strong wind with a big stand, monolight and softbox. Traffic going in both ways. Three of us zigzaggin' and shooting. Big kudos to our model Oona Huhtala who kept her cool and was so professional thru the whole set. One of favorite photos of my career. Despite challenging conditions we managed to produce A level content.

This photo is part of my creative lighting setup where I use projection to create gobo portrait. Stripe gobo gives nice shapes and flows through model's (awesome Emma Luukkanen) natural curves. In this frame I used black silhoutte against bright background to create a dimension. Definitely one of my favs in this set.
