Portraits, objects and brand work in Helsinki

A still life by candlelight, dried roses and tulips going over in stoneware jugs, fruit and a folded cloth on dark wood.
A person with long pale hair sits on a metal railing against a concrete wall, knees drawn up, looking past the camera in cool desaturated light.
A cream envelope cropped close in soft daylight, two red wax seals at the edge of the frame and faint ring stains left on the paper.
A figure stands alone in a long concrete underpass at night holding a floral tapestry briefcase, a receding line of ceiling lights behind them.
A glass decanter of red wine on a wooden table in low raking light, with a halved fig, blackberries and pomegranates.
A figure standing far off against a bare concrete wall, small in a wide empty frame.
A plum, a halved fig and a red carnation stacked vertically against a deep aubergine ground.
A face pressed beneath taut clear plastic, monochrome, the sheet catching light where it stretches over the features.
A silver sealing stamp stands upright on a cream envelope with red wax pooled over its face, a cracked wax seal beside it, lit high and soft.
A figure seated low on concrete steps and leaning back, a floral tapestry briefcase propped against one leg, shot from below with a handrail crossing the wall behind.
A wedge of plum and a crushed blackberry on rumpled cream linen, purple juice bled into the weave around them, lit hard from the left.
A man in a navy suit and orange tie sits in an inflatable paddling pool in a tiled bathroom, a phone to his ear and a coffee cup in his other hand.
A wooden wristwatch with a deep blue sunburst dial nested in folds of blue velvet, a single highlight raking across the glass.
A man in a navy suit sits on a tiled bathroom floor, half inside an inflatable paddling pool, holding a coffee cup with documents spread around him.
A corner of cream envelope paper in soft light, a red wax seal pressed at the right edge of the frame.
Looking down on a glass perfume bottle sealed with a disc of red wax, its long soft shadow thrown diagonally across a pale ground.
A person leans on a table surrounded by vases of collapsing lilies and tulips, dried petals scattered across the wood in front of them.
A perfume bottle, a stick of red sealing wax and a wooden-handled seal laid across a cream envelope in soft daylight.
A figure walks through a lit concrete bay in an underpass, smeared by a long exposure, a single strip light burning above them.
Monochrome. A figure seated on a concrete ledge in an underpass with a floral tapestry briefcase alongside, a lamp burning far down the tunnel behind.
Monochrome portrait against textured concrete, the sitter in a heavy striped knit, their own hard shadow doubling their profile on the wall behind.
A long exposure of a figure turning, the features dissolved into movement against a pale blue wall.
A halved plum and a halved fig lie on dark wood in a single shaft of light, their cut faces turned up, the rest of the table in shadow.
A figure climbs concrete stairs past pink graffiti, blurred by a long exposure, daylight falling down the stairwell from above.
