Film photography, AI and a changing image industry
Kaleva, one of Finland's largest regional daily newspapers (based in Oulu, Northern Finland), interviewed me about film photography, AI imagery and the changing commercial image industry. In the article, my perspective enters a dialogue with two film photographers: can AI open new opportunities for visual professionals while traditional production workflows and roles are shifting?

I've worked as a school photographer each autumn since 2010, and I'm not skipping this one either. I'm committed to this assignment until the end of October, but don't hesitate to get in touch.
Mushroom season has started here in Finland, hurrah!
I've studied Norwegian for half a year on Duolingo and I'm now taking a B1 course. It's wildly exciting!
Jeg har studert norsk i et halvt år på Duolingo, og nå går jeg på B1-kurs. Det er utrolig spennende!
Autumn is creeping in, but I'm still on holiday. I'm motorhome touring through July.
01 / Minusta
I have worked in visual communication for over 15 years. I combine photography, generative AI and visual thinking for brands, companies and private clients.
In my master's thesis at Turku Arts Academy, I researched how visual language translates into AI-generated imagery. I bring that same research and practice to commercial production: brand visual language, consistent libraries, not generic AI stock. I combine art and technology in a unique way: with a master's in photographic art and full-stack training, I have worked across exhibitions, teaching and digital product design.
My education and experience in cultural management provide a strong foundation in project management and delivering complex projects end to end — from client work to exhibition production.
I have served companies internationally across photography and AI imagery needs. I also help shape complex material into visually clear, user-friendly form.

I help company teams transfer their aesthetic sensibility into AI image production. I also deliver brand-consistent visuals on their behalf.

I offer training and mentoring so your team can learn the same logic. I also deliver commissioned AI images and video, production-ready for campaigns and communications.
I help staff find their brand's visual voice in AI tools and turn it into a repeatable workflow.
I internalize your visual language and produce consistent images fast. Unmistakably yours, not anyone else's.

Design
I designed a logo and visual identity for a Swedish construction company, communicating craftsmanship, precision and reliability. The design process progressed in close collaboration with the client, from early concepts through to the finished whole.
Tools: Figma and AI-assisted ideation tools.
I designed a clear and visually cohesive website structure and user interface for Pure Panel. The work included content hierarchy planning, wireframes, responsive layouts, and building a visual whole that fits the company's identity.
Tools: Figma
I designed the user interface and visual structure of a web application for barcode scanning and product data processing. The work focused on a clear user journey, intuitive presentation of information, and a responsive interface that works across different views.
Tools and technologies: Figma, React, Redux, JavaScript, CSS, Material UI, and Azure DevOps.
A commissioned photography project created for the new seaside sauna at Hotel Rantapuisto in Helsinki. The work features 22 nature photographs from Vuosaari, carefully designed for the space and printed on birch plywood to complement the architecture and surrounding landscape.
I served as CEO of a design company drawing on Finnish native plants, overseeing the limited company's governance, brand and trademark development, product range, and building sales and reseller networks. I photographed the plant imagery used in products and contributed to the visual identity and product ranges that grew from them. Flora of Finland products included art posters, glass panels and linen towels, sold across Finland, especially in museum shops. The brand gained visibility in art and design publications and exhibitions in Finland and Japan.
Areas of expertise: business leadership, brand building, product development, photography, visual design, sales and reseller partnerships.
