You guy’s ever heard of lights and shadows in terms of photography? Well go outside, there’s a lot of both right now!
Nothing too original about these photos, just playing with the light before the dark winter as well as getting to know the lens I just bought!
I’m having a struggle whether or not to buy this amazing old school 35mm lens. I’m having a test-go with it right now and shot these two with it.. I’m starting to think ‘yes, i need this piece of work.’
If you don’t think I should, stand up now or silence forever. But do it fast, I have to decide before Jarkko get’s home from work!
Spot a fellow journalist! Some photos from the “Pelastakaa Reijo” demonstration from last wednesday. Konsta and Jarkko were able to attend and here are some shots. The portrait gallery was made by Konsta. The event itself went well so big thanks goes to the people who took the time to make it happen. We will not go into details of what the demonstration was all about because anyone interested in journalism should be very well informed! And as always there is some mischief going on in the photos but it does not change the fact that we feel strongly for this one. The cause is very much justified. And no one really asked us but we’ll say it anyway: signing contracts with such terms is a definite no-go. This goes for all of us at Partakuva.

I didn’t think much of Helsinki before. With a stubborn reservation I kept an emotional distance between myself and the city. I got lost there everytime, as I never really bothered to adopt the map.
But as time has passed it has been harder for me to ignore how unique Helsinki actually is. Nowhere else in Finland there’s such a variation of atmospheres among the city districts, like towns within a town. I wouldn’t want to live there – not for now at least – but I find myself quite excited everytime I have some business there.
I had a couple of assignments in Helsinki on monday and a couple of hours in between them, so I just enjoyed the crowd and the sunlight reflecting from windows. The photos actually looked better in colors, but I wanna grasp the black&white, really learn it. Some people do it with such amazing style.
By the way, there’s a Reijo-demonstration in Helsinki today, so I’m heading there again today as soon as I hit the “publish” on this post. See you there!
