This site is dedicated to two of my favourite hobbies, photography and animals. I also have another site that focuses on my journalism work.
I mainly photograph animals, especially ponies.
All images are for sale. If interested, you will find the pricelist under its own link in the navigation bar.
I mainly shoot in Finland, focusing on the Tampere area and Western Uusimaa.
Even though I shoot quite a bit at different shows, it is not my favourite kind of photography. What I really enjoy is shooting in the animals' own surroundings or in other interesting environments.
I also volunteer at the Finnish all-breed pedigree database called Sukuposti, contributing by sending in my photos. Sukuposti is an amazing service, completely ran by volunteers. It lists thousands of horses and ponies from all over the world, with photos whenever available. It is a "must" site for anyone interested in pedigrees. (Also available in English.)
Apart from photography, I also enjoy doing layouts for different purposes. I have done the layout e.g. for the yearbook of the Welsh Pony and Cob Society of Finland and for the magazine of the riding association of Tampere. I have also made some ads for the Welsh yearbook and will be happy to make more. Samples of my previous work can be found on my equine photo page.
I guess I also have been bitten by some kind of a nerd bug since I also enjoy making websites like the one you are currently surfing on. I am just a beginner in the world of web coding. This website, however, is my own creation from the layout design to the final css and html coding.
