I'm Simo, nice to meet you! 👋
I’m a creative designer and photographer with over 15 years of experience in the game. Photography is 10 % taking pictures and 90 % social skills. That’s why I’ll guide you through the entire shoot, so you can leave any nerves at home — my job is to make you shine. I’ve always managed to get great photos of everyone, so I don't think you'll be the exception.
Shall we cook up something together that makes people pause and take notice? My photo studio is based in Helsinki, but I’m always happy to travel anywhere in Finland or around the globe with my cameras.
