THAT BABY BALLOON

PHOTOGRAPHERS NOTES

I was actually only taking a few making of pictures of Noora's school project that she was preparing for Winkie Winkie web store's summer animation. I couldn't help but to put a little setting up quickly and "steal" that moment. The balloons settled so nicely against that new pink background of mine! This picture is also gonna appear on Winkie Winkies webstore as it turned out quite nice comparing the 5 seconds I had shooting and setting it!

Let me know what you think!

WINTER FLOWER #1

WINTER FLOWER

Exactly one year ago I ran into this beautiful girl at one Singaporean photographer Yutaki's blog, Rikeruu. She had been photographed by him. I found her Instagram a few hours later and started following her. I was jumping on my seat and getting really excited noticing from one of her winter posts that she had traveled to Finland with her Finnish boyfriend for Christmas. I asked her to model for me, but back then she was too busy and the time had ran out when she noticed my message. This Christmas she traveled here again with a longer stay and I contacted her again for the shoots. She said yes! I was super excited! This lovely lady knows ones of the most famous bloggers in Asia, such as Yutakis and Xia Xue and I couldn't wait to take the pictures with her! She was super gorgeous also in person, kind and funny. Her modeling talent also amazed me as she seemed like she was reading my mind. We were a perfect partners. The shoots were real nice with her and we agreed to do this again later this year when they would be getting back to Europe! I feel so lucky and this was one of the most amazing opportunities I have had in my life!

PHOTOGRAPHERS NOTES

The style I have used in these pictures is a main style of one of the most inspiring Japanese art magazines for me, L'ARME. The magazine is like a dream. All the pictures are so soft and delicate. I have waited a long time to use these unique edits on some pictures extra special. And they turned out gorgeous! The styling, the rotate and highlights are just perfectly in balance. These pictures bring me back to my favorite and most inspiring idol magazine that I would love to work for one day. And thanks to these photos I can almost pretend I did. This is exactly the kind of style I would love to send out every single picture that is ordered from me. My own unique handwriting. I hope you all enjoy these pictures as much as me and Rikeruu do and hope you leave all kinds of comments to let me know how did I manage on this. In the end of the post there is on the left L'armes actual magazine cover from 2013 and on the right my own version. Also like before, below this link there are a few before after shots!  Make sure you will check them out!

I'M COMING

And the blood will dry

underneath my nails

and the wind will rise up

to fill my sails

so you can doubt

and you can hate

but I know, no matter what it takes

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

tell the world I'm coming home

let the rain wash away

all the pain of yesterday

I know my kingdom awaits

and they've forgiven my mistakes

I'm coming home

I'm coming home

tell the world I'm coming...

I'M COMING HOME

I have been looping endlessly Skylar Grays song " I'm Coming Home" and when Sally suggested a photoshoots with a winter theme, I knew this was a chance to turn the song into photos. The song is on the top of this post if you wish to listen to it along you scroll these pictures. These pictures were taken on the Christmas Day at Kulosaari Helsinki. Clock was around 10 a.m and the ocean was peaceful and sun rising against the chilly frost.  We had only two outfits, no assistants. Only her and me, and in the ends well a little elf called Viksu. Our point was only to use pretty locations and later I would turn them into fairyland wonders by the computer. This was quite fast photo session and I was a bit unsure when I got home, but my unsure expectations turned real quickly into one huge "Heureka!"-kind of smile!

PHOTOGRAPHERS NOTES

I'm amazed actually. Not once have I succeeded on taking pictures in the snow that I would be anywhere pleased with. Usually the lights and none fitting filters were my problem. But this time thanks to my new help lights I finally managed to get great pictures! Hoping to get a chance to do this again real soon with someone! I was really inpatient in this set, as I wanted to prepare them ready right a way. There are many details in this photo sets and to help you notice, how much there really is going on, I prepared also some before after gifs

Hope you enjoy!

The Wild Pineapple - Jungle Talk

THE WILD PINEAPPLE

This photoshoot wasn't in the first place suppose to end up like this.

I asked Paula for my model for the first time. Before this we had

met once at my book's [ Blog By The Book ] publishing party.

Our plan was to pick one outfit and take a walk around Sörnäinen and photograph

some skater girl stuff. But the weather wasn't too fancy and I was trying to figure one

warmer option. We ended up the location to be Botanical Garden of Kaisaniemi.

We didn't have any props so I asked Paula to buy an photogenic pineapple!

And this is what happened next...

PHOTOGRAPHERS NOTES

I am really pleased with this set. Even tough it

 was really dark place and also the first time 

for Paula to be a model for anyone. I wanted and old film 

effect and a bit shady and soft effect. The darkness

 wasn't a problem here since I saved the photos as 

RAW files, but I can assure that I didn't need to add 

any extra film grains to this one! 

Funny and Style Nanda like photo set!
