Case: Osmia

Osmia

Osmia is a Finnish brand founded by chemist-turned-perfumer Eero Vänttinen, who left academia to pursue his passion for scent and nature. All production takes place in Helsinki — from selecting raw materials to finishing the final product. Osmia emphasises high-quality, self-managed manufacturing processes to maintain control over every sensory detail.

At the heart of their collection is a range of concentrated sauna aromas crafted specifically for the Finnish sauna experience. We created a set of brand images for their sauna aroma collection, which includes three scents: Birch, Pine (kelohonka), and Eucalyptus.

Valofirma: Free Tazu

Created for Valofirma’s social media channels, the legendary filmmaker Tazu Ovaska posed for us as his charismatic self. Together, we wanted to celebrate his upcoming retirement and his long career (45 years!) by combining these portrait images with the launch of a new product: the Aputure MT Pro. Later on, Simo Liukka created a shirt print based on these images with the statement “FREE TAZU,” to imply that retirement is not something you do after your career ends when you’re expected to lay low for the rest of your days, but rather a time when you are finally free to do what you truly want, to the fullest extent.

Pictures shot on medium format Ilford HP5 film.

Essi Hirvonen

Essi Hirvonen is a double bassist, folk musician, and composer. Her double bass music stands as a counterpoint to today’s fast-paced world, rooted in sparse improvisation, long-form expression, and a deep focus on listening to and experiencing the instrument’s resonance. The thematic depth of Hirvonen’s music, her creative approach to the double bass, and her deeply present performance style together create an experience that profoundly resonates with the audience.

In this project with Essi, we visually explored how her artistic identity and music could be represented through photography. The fusion of Orthodox Christian thematics with experimental music offered a compelling subject. Essi does not want her music to be about herself, but rather about the listener—guiding them toward a more peaceful, meditative state of mind and encouraging them to explore what arises within.

Shot both in digital and medium format film.
