I think it's time to do a little introduction.

My name is Mikko, and I am from Finland. I love capturing minimalistic landscape photographs that provoke emotions. I have been a photographer for the past 16 years. With my photography, my goal is to transport you to a world that is timeless, peaceful, and beautiful and connect you back to nature, reminding you of what it feels like to be alive and what it feels like to be human.

Playing outside was my favorite thing when I grew up. I often spent my free time outdoors with my friends and siblings, whatever the weather. That's where my love for the outdoors began.  

As a photographer, I am in awe of the beauty of the world around me, from mist to late-night views of stars. There is always something inspiring to capture with my camera.

I believe that the events and experiences of our past give our work depth and richness. Your struggles and hardships give your work a unique angle. Embrace it.

Nothing lasts forever, and our surrounding world is ever-changing. Through my photography, I aim to inspire others to see the world differently and appreciate its beauty. I want to connect with others and share the moments that inspire me, hoping they will inspire others.

I don't often travel far from where I live. And capturing beautiful photographs does not always require traveling to the far corners of the world. In fact, there is beauty to be found all around us if we take the time to look for it.

My grandma was the biggest inspiration when I grew up – she has made beautiful paintings and drawings throughout her life. She is 95 at the moment. I didn't understand how she or anyone created such beautiful art. I thought it was a gift you either had or not.

Of course, I tried making sketches and paintings when I was a child but never spent enough time learning to create something unique until photography found me. I have been photographing for the past 15 years, and from the first days, I've made it for myself.

My first inspiration for photography came to me when I was driving to our relative's cabin. It was a summer evening in 2007, and after a rainy day, the sun came out, and so did the fog. I had to stop taking a couple of photographs with a point-and-shoot camera.

My goal in this community is to support others, collect from friends and treat everyone with respect and kindness. I don't mint often, and I'm highly critical of the pieces I mint. I've been creating for a long time, and I'll be creating well into the future. Thanks for reading!

Capturing a stunning photograph can be challenging. You must be in the right place at the right time to capture the perfect light, weather, and composition. I often capture only a few photographs I'm satisfied with within a year.

I have always been drawn to using a single subject in my pictures. Which may be related to the passing of my best friend the day before I turned 19. This solitary element serves as a reminder to appreciate the solitude and solitude of the world around us.
