kuupuu pt.2.

below is the second batch of photographs me and Jonna Karanka have chosen among the ones I took of her in Niskala Arboretum. for those who haven't read my previous post: in occasion of an interview for DRECK Magazine I took care of a photo-shoot with Kuupuu - the solo project of Jonna Karanka and one of my favourite Finnish music projects. that day Jonna brought along some of her old cassette tapes.
my photographs with Kuupuu:
Nikon FM - Kodak Portra 800
Hasselblad 500 C/M - Kodak Portra 800
I had a great time with Kuupuu: by getting to know her more I have found out that not only she is a wonderful artist but also a very nice person who enjoys spending time in the wilderness and loves cats. at the end of the day Jonna had a surprise for me: a copy of her album Sous Juju recently released on EM-Records. thank you Jonna!

    1. Thank you, Silvia! I'm glad you like it! The light in the forest can be very unpredictable during the summer.
