Our feature artist Mikko Lagerstedt is a self-taught fine art photographer from Finland who loves to capture the emotion of places through photography. Mikko focuses primarily on capturing night scenes, simplistic landscapes and atmospheric photography.
“My very first inspiration towards photography came to me when I was driving on a summer’s eve to my relative’s cabin. After a rainy day, the sun started shining, and the fog was rising in the fields. I just had to stop and watch this beautiful moment and then I realized that I want to start capturing these kinds of moments.
My photography journey first started in December 2008 and from the first moments; I fell in love with it. I like to create visually, and emotionally captivating pictures and my goal is to capture the feeling I had when I took the photograph.”
