My interest in architecture and architectural photography started while completing a certificate in interior design, which inevitably led me to pay close attention to the built environment.

Documenting interesting, usually Modernist and sometimes threatened buildings became a passion which I now pursue wholeheartedly.

My photography is relatively organic as I prefer to be flexible with gear and process my photos minimally.

Originally from Finland, I lived many years in Stockholm and London before arriving in California. I currently travel a fair amount which is incredibly rewarding for my architecture and photo interest.

If you would like to collaborate on a project about architecture, Modernism or photography, please get in touch!
