—Ennen kaikkea - kenet voit nimetä parhaaksi kuvaajaksi kaupungissasi? :)

—The best photographer doesn't exist, only styles! Today there are so many photographers, and each one has their own style. As long as you work hard to constantly grow and push yourself then you will be happy, your clients will be happy and you will become a great photographer.

—Minkä kriteerien perusteella asiakkaan pitäisi valita valokuvaaja?

—To select the photographer via his/her work and style and not the price, with out forgetting that they must connect.

—Miten päädyit valokuvausalalle?

—You could say that it was hidden away inside me for a long time. Without realising I have always had a camera to hand since I was little. Love my dads Canon 650 EOS and always used to take it off his hands. Never thought that it would turn out to be something that I loved doing.

—Oletko valokuvauksellinen?

—To be honest, no not really. That is why I hide behind the camera :P

—Mikä on sinusta tärkeintä hyvässä kuvassa?

—A good photo has to have life in it. If a photo does not have a penetrating look, or the calmness of a smile, then for me that photo is not natural enough and that is what I always look for in my wedding photos.

—Tykkäätkö matkustamisesta?

—I love new and unknown territories, this make you push your skills and ideas to the limits and keeps you improving. I have several trips lined up this year and cant wait to work somewhere new. And if it is for vacactional purpose, then without a doubt, but I can assure you that my camera will never leave my side.

—Mistä pidät eniten ammatissasi?

—The reaction when I hand my work in and the happiness it brings. I will love photography no matter what, and will always love it no matter what people say about my work. All photographers want to exceed their expectations, improve, update themselves, master new techniques, and we are very perfectionist when it comes down to our own work, so it is a fantastic feeling when others congratulate you on your efforts.

—Mistä pidät vähiten ammatissasi?

—Nothing, I came from a financial work environment with a stressful background to something that I dreamt about doing for a long time. And when you manage to do something you dream about there will be some down moments but you remember what you are doing and why you are doing it, and that motivating crawls right back in and you thrive again.

—Kuinka suhtaudut kritiikkiin?

—Constructive criticism helps me improve, mature and evolve. There is always a positive way of looking at things, and criticism can be broken down and used in a positive manner.

—Mikä on valokuvauksen tulevaisuus?

—Well who knows, it is constantly changing and there are so many different styles and techniques to choose from. But hopefully, it will become less fictional and more natural.

—Mikä on ehdottomasti kiellettyä kuvauksessa?

—Pressure on the bride and groom. In order to take the best and most natural shots we need the bride and groom to be as relaxed as possible. And also mobile and table devises. There are numerous of occasions when the groom could not see the bride walking down the isle due to the amount of people leaning out with their phones and tables.

—Kuka on vaikuttanut eniten ammattiisi valokuvaajana?

—Susan Stripling.

—Miten päädyit valokuvausalalle?

—In 2004 I got a digital camera for Christmas, back when digital cameras weren't attached to every device. I was facinated with how you could freeze time, and then view the past later. I couldn't set it down. A few years later I shot my first wedding, fell in love with it and 10 years later have shot over 200.

—Oletko valokuvauksellinen?

—Sometimes... If I've gotten enough sleep and have a glass of wine or two

—Mikä on sinusta tärkeintä hyvässä kuvassa?

—A moment. For sure. If it doesn't have this it's not worth remembering. After that, certainly lighting and composition go a long way.

—Tykkäätkö matkustamisesta?

—Absolutely. We have traveled all over the world taking photos!

—Mistä pidät eniten ammatissasi?

—I love that every weekend I get to be a huge part of someone's "most important day of their life."

—Mistä pidät vähiten ammatissasi?

—Crazy church ladies that force me to shoot from 100 feet away in the balcony during the ceremony.

—Kuinka suhtaudut kritiikkiin?

—I love it. As long as it is constructive it is one of the biggest gifts you can give to me.

—Mikä on valokuvauksen tulevaisuus?

—More and more instant gratification. A one month turn around average for a wedding will turn into a day.

—Mistä huolehdit ja miksi?

—I've found that the energy I've wasted in the past on worrying about things was better spent on just doing what I was supposed anyway. No regrets. No fear.

—Mikä on sille valokuvauslajille erityistä, johon olet erikoistunut?

—The father of the bride that has never cried in public before. The look on the groom's face when he sees his bride for the first time. The uncle that doesn't normally drink is dancing up a storm on the dance floor.

—Minkä kriteerien perusteella asiakkaan pitäisi valita valokuvaaja?

—Zapewne to czy fotografie spełniają ich oczekiwania, ale i powinni sprawdzić też jaką osobą jest fotograf, czy umie z należytym szacunkiem potraktować daną chwile.

—Miten päädyit valokuvausalalle?

—Pasja fotografowania pchnęła mnie w niemal każdą jej dziedzinę, jednak na fotografii ślubnej skupiam swoją uwagę ze względu na emocje jakie zawsze towarzyszą temu wyjątkowemu wydarzeniu.

—Oletko valokuvauksellinen?

—Myślę że ocenić powinien to ktoś kto podjął by się sfotografowania mojej osoby. Sam sobie zdjęć nie robię więc nie mam zdana :)

—Mikä on sinusta tärkeintä hyvässä kuvassa?

—Ludzie, emocje ,moment, kadr, światło, reszta to tylko ładne dodatki :)

—Tykkäätkö matkustamisesta?

—Tak, uwielbiam poznawać nowe miejsca

—Mistä pidät eniten ammatissasi?

—Tak zwaną "magię" fotografowania. Fotografia to echo czegoś co było, przeminęło i gdzieś wybrzmiewa w naszych wspomnieniach. My jako fotografowie mamy jedno proste zadanie, aby to echo brzmiało jak najwyraźniej :)

—Mistä pidät vähiten ammatissasi?

—Nie lubię nudy, rutyny i monotonności

—Kuinka suhtaudut kritiikkiin?

—Jestem na nią otwarty, staram się wysłuchać każdej uwagi wyciągnąć wnioski. Krytyka bywa bardzo konstruktywna

—Mikä on ehdottomasti kiellettyä kuvauksessa?

—Wydaje mi się że krytykowanie pary.

—Mikä on valokuvauksen tulevaisuus?

—Mam nadzieję że zaskakująca

—Mikä on sille valokuvauslajille erityistä, johon olet erikoistunut?

—Jest zaskakująca
