Behind the Lens
ABOUT me and what to expect
Since childhood I have known most of my relatives through photo albums; they didn't even live on the same continent. My parents uprooted themselves and moved to Canada from Finland after they married. Flipping through these archival albums of b+w photos was my way of being closer with family who I rarely saw. In this way, my upbringing imprinted on me a high sense of value on photography.
I grew up pouring over National Geographic magazines and feel almost the same type of kinship with other foreign cultures (as my own) through their pictures. For me, photography is a tool and an art form, on one hand it was to document an exotic place or lifestyle and on the other hand it was the familiar way of remembering and connecting to people.
