About

I am a seasoned cinematographer and photographer with over 25 years of experience working on documentaries, cultural weekly shows, current affairs, investigative journalism, news and sports productions. I have spent two decades as a cinematographer at the Finnish Broadcasting Company (YLE) and continue to work as a freelance filmmaker, bringing a wide range of credits to screen and a hands-on approach to lighting, camera, and storytelling.

I am also well-versed in sound recording and color grading using DaVinci Resolve. For aerial scenes I utilize the DJI Mini 3 Pro. Photography has always been a passion of mine, and I maintain an active practice in both documentary and creative shoots, blending technical craft with a flexible, storytelling mindset.
