Ahtiainen
In 2010, I spent most of my time at the stables and one of my friends
had Canon EOS 1000D. One time I decided to ask whether I could
photograph her riding and that’s how it all started. Not too long
after that we drove to the city with my mom and I became one happy
camera owner. Along the photography, I started to get more and more
interested in graphic design and visuality in general.
I graduated from Ingman College of Crafts and Design in 2016 as A
media assistant.
I’ve always been super motivated
to learn new stuff and develope my
own skills. I’m really critical about
my work, sometimes even too
much, so I never settle with ‘‘okay’’ -
it needs to be the best I can give.

5. PHOTOGRAPHY
I want to tell stories, capture the moments that people
want to remember and share the beauty of this world.
Photographing has taught me to watch the world a bit
differently, to seek more dimensions on everything and
to express different state of minds better.
11. GRAPHIC DESIGN
Just like photography, graphic design gives me more tools to
create something that lives a mark and make people feel. You
can hide so much infomation, feelings and aspects into the
simpliest shapes and colors.
