The Helsinki metropolitan area has recently extended the metro line to Espoo: it's a big deal for all the people that commute back and forth, who were waiting for it for several years. I live and work in the centre of Helsinki, but even if Länsimetro doesn't mean so much to me, I am still excited about the new metro stations: each of them is different and they all look very clean and modern — they make me want to travel outside the city!

That evening I decided to go completely out of my comfort zone and arranged a portrait session with Riim at the new metro stations. Tapio — a new lovely friend I got to meet through Instagram — came along too and gave me some useful tips, as he is very much into urban photography.

I had a really fun time and even got a few shots that I am quite happy with: it was very interesting, even though challenging, to work with artificial light. It obviously helped a lot to have Riim in front of my camera: she is truly wonderful!
