• Biography
  I'm a photographer, digital artist and nerd from Kuopio, Finland. The passion for photography started after I retired from my day job as a software engineer. I often explore the dark side of life in my art. Images are often moody, surreal and distressing. Self-portraiture has always played a big part in my pictures. So I have experience of being behind the camera as well as being in front of it.
