Available to hire
I am Antti Tuomas Seppänen, a filmmaker and photographer based in Helsinki, working since 2000. I have collaborated on international film projects with a focus on architecture, and my photographs have been shown in private and group exhibitions. I routinely use modern production and post-production tools, including the Adobe suite, to bring ideas to life.
I hold an MA from the Huston School of Film and Digital Media in Galway, Ireland, and my work has taken me from West Africa to Cairo and Mexico. I’m an avid follower of art and literature, and I actively engage with social media as part of my professional and private life.
