Rhythm to Groups - Photography Workshop in Studio Kuutio, Oulu
Two weeks ago I had a photography workshop in Oulu. Studio Kuutio organized a workshop where we concentrated in shooting groups in a studio. One of our participants had organized almost all the models, just because "these kind of groups I usually shoot and I want to learn more". Great way to work. Thanks to Riikka Holappa :)Read more
Some action in Studio Kuutio's photography workshop just before next one
I enjoy traveling to Oulu. People of Studio Kuutio are filled with enthusiasm. I visited Oulu last time just before Christmas when I was a photography trainer in a workshop: "Shooting people in locations". I'm on my way again – today we'll begin a workshop called: "Rhythm to the Groups".
Storytelling
In previous workshop our model was local rock-manager Jarkko Soronen. Before demonstration he shared with us he would appreciate if storytelling in the picture is a "mixture of rock glamour in Nightwish style and northern spirit".
I think our demonstration showed everyone how important is to find out before shooting all the details and needs of the model or client. When we have crystallized storytelling before shooting we can make all the expressional choices based on that. Storytelling is a foundation to composition, cropping, lighting, props, location etc are
In demonstration we positioned Jarkko foreground and chose to shoot from below the eye level. Jarkko was wearing those clothes and accessories he's known in promo events. As props he wanted to add one of his band's T-shirt and some CD's of others.

Making of – Spring Update of Finnish Professional Photographers Association
I got a great opportunity to participate to create something new for Finnish Professional Photographers Association. I just couldn't say no (have to admit, it didn't even occur to my mind...) Premier will be in 8th of April and I'm looking forward to that!
We wanted to promote Spring Update in a different way than earlier. In the era of sharing, participating etc. One Wednesday morning I met Sami Reivinen at his studio KLIK and we made a video-teaser.
