A capture from the outdoor session with textured elements and beautiful ingredients to highlight the prominent cookware brand's product.

🌼 Ainoa Winery's Aho - the name literally means meadow, so I wanted to bring typical Finnish wildflowers to the scene.

🥂 It is “A wine for the Finnish Summer” - as written on the label, so I set the colour palette to bring the summer vibes, and warm sunlight + incorporated a playful frozen action dedicated to every summer moment with a glass of wine.

🍓 Strawberries are not only the essential element of Finnish summer but also strawberry wine is one of the main components of Aho, hence beautiful local strawberries also appear on the scene.

You probably never realised, how versatile shapes and shades are included in your popcorn bag, so it's now my pleasure to highlight the beauty of a single piece of popcorn in this macro photo.

I styled and captured this scene for an amazing Finnish brand with natural fibre composite products, mostly utilised during outdoor activities, but the beautiful design, various size options and practicality make them perfectly suitable for the hospitality industry as well.

I heard that white background photography cannot be scroll-stopping... challenge accepted! :)

Banana boba drink product photo with monochromatic styling, unusual perspective and some action incorporated.

Mead and doughnuts are the essential partnof the 1 May menu in Finland. I brought them to the nature and captured them amonst these beautiful wood anemones that are blooming in the forest this time of the year.

Mead is a traditional drink on 1 May in Finland and as the celebration is not complete without balloons I combined them both on one image.

Food pattern created with a selection of hand-made raw sausages and some of their signature spices. Even though raw sausages are a tough subject to shoot commercially, the Client loved my approach.

When this top Finnish chocolate brand launched a cinnamon bun-flavoured bar, it became my absolute favourite, and so I dedicated some time to capturing it in a simple yet playful way.

Cupcakes with vibrant pink frosting call for Spring, and are even more relatable by the human touch.

Lean back and enjoy this cup of winter-themed hot chocolate. Look how the marshmellow snowman enjoy it… after the first sip, a wide smile will be guaranteed on your face too!

Who does’t love commercial images if the art director keeps the visual branding in mind when coming up with the creative concept? Reka designed the visuals for this Nordic rye ale in a way that the can appears in a frosty environment!

⁠I shot the gin bottle in this cool environment of concentric circles and I took my sweet time to choose one of the endless options in product photography and post-processing, and the concept finally boiled down to this result so I executed my vision. ⁠I decided to utilise some illustrations to create the feeling of looking outside and seeing the silhouette of galloping deer in the forest.⁠

I have a constant fear that something's always near...????????⁠

Named after the similarly titled album of Iron Maiden, this roasted dark chocolate-flavoured English stout that is so good that you will crawl to the store to get one.⁠ I love the label design.
⁠If you ever wonder what's wrong with my hand: nothing! I masked and painted a prop hand to look this creepy, so I did not have to crawl under the table to capture this scene, I added real smoke to create a cold night mist, and applied colourful gels to create the specific lighting. ⁠

- Who you gonna call?
- The CakeBusters!

This is my favourite cake decoration for Halloween showstoppers and I see it returning every year on my followers' feed. You only need your favourite cake, meringue kisses and edible paint.

Seasonal photoshoot with Octoberfest vibes, layering for 3-dimensionality using colourful leaves and typical items of a true feast for pretzels and beer.

Product photo that captures the personality of the award-winning Finnish salmiakki (salty licorcie) of the brand. The shiny black packaging is tricky to capture but the end result is spotless and free form any distracting harsh highlights.

Delicious bundt cake with cherries and candy melts in the embrace of peonies and different shades and textures of pink, created as part of a visual update for my website.

Pouring shot in a beautiful environment with Japanese vibes established by strong colours, harmonious composition and limited colour palette.
