Photowalk with Annika

Yet another photowalk inside the Kaisaniemi botanic garden: unfortunately the weather has been too cold to spend too much time outdoors. Last time I took some portraits of Annika was in September 2014: at the time I had just got my Petzval and I was not that familiar with it yet. It was great to be able to capture Annika again one and half year after: I think we both did a much better job this time!

Mandi & Katja

Finally I can share the photographs we took in occasion of Mandi and Katja's engagement. Mandi and Katja are very close friends of ours and taking their engagement photographs was a real pleasure. They are a lovely couple and I wish them all the best!

Polly taken by Jacopo

I am looking forward to sharing the photographs we took last week: some of them are for a project and some others are for a special occasion. Unfortunately I cannot do so quiet yet so here are a few portraits that Jacopo took of me during a stroll in the snow. January has been full of snow in Helsinki and it is snowing a lot in this very moment too!

A Very Cold Day

The 6th of January the forecast warned about a -20°C that felt like -28°C: I had not remembered such cold weather in a very long time. Jacopo and I decided to go for a walk: we made it as far as Tervasaari and managed to take a few photographs with freezing hands. The frosted trees were sparkling in the sunlight: it was incredibly beautiful!

Portraits in the Snow

Winter has come to Helsinki at the beginning of the new year with freezing temperatures and finally snow. On Sunday the 3rd we went for a brief walk around the neighbourhood and I took my Nikon Df with my Petzval. From that day I would like to share a few shots that Jacopo and I took of each other: not too bad for the first snow of 2016!

Photowalk with Viola

While at my family home I also had the chance to meet a dear childhood friend. I went on a long photowalk with Viola on Boxing Day: the sun was shining on her red hair and everything was golden. I am so happy with the way these photographs turned out!

Photowalk with Emi

While spending a few days at my family home I had plenty of time to test my Nikon Df. The weather was unseasonably warm and sunny for Northern Italy and I had the opportunity to take more than a photowalk: two of them with my sister Emi. It was lovely to be able to catch up with her and capture those precious moments with my new camera!

Portraits in Manarola

During our Christmas break in Italy Jacopo and I took a short but lovely trip to 5 Terre: we spent most of the time in the picturesque village of Manarola taking walks by the sea and eating delicious food. I also got to try my Nikon Df for the first time and found out that her and my Petzval were a perfect match!
