I have photographed and filmed professionally since 1986.
I also have a long history in various sales and marketing positions.
I got my first lessons in photography from photographer/graphic artist Toivo Anttila.
The spark started to burn at a young age in the mid-70s,
after following with interest the mysterious appearance of the picture in Toivo Anttila’s darkroom.
Toivo retired from the profession of Photographer at the end of the 70s.
If I had been a bit older then, I would have been able to continue his work as an enthusiastic young person.
This allowed itself to wait until 1987, when I finally established my own darkroom in Aura near Turku in southwestern Finland.
To get started, Toivo Anttila handed over his old working equipment to young photographer’s beginer.
Over time, the darkroom has moved to a computer, and the old devices have become decorative objects in the living room.
And that’s not all. I have also worked almost semi-professionally with audio productions since the middle of the nineties.
I use professional-level hardware and software, for example, to produce backgrounds for introductory videos.
