Finnish Fashion

Over the past month I have had the pleasure of meeting some truly talented, forward thinking fashion photographers. Many of whom have graced the pages of Bonnier's very own Olivia, but rest assured it's only a matter of time before their work will be popping up in fashion mags Stateside.

Jonas Lundqvist: Jonas used to be a professional ballet dancer who is now a stellar fashion photographer. For the above story he had the concept of building an entire life size paper horse (saying much of his inspiration came from the movie by Michael Gondry, The Sceince of Sleep). This story was featured within the pages of Olivia's May issue.

Nina Merikallio: I met Nina this past Friday on location for Evita's very first cover shoot. It turned out beautiful and I can't wait to see the cover all over Finland come September. Also this week Nina will be on TV shooting the finalists of Finland's Next Top Model for the cover of Cosmo.

Samuli Karala: What better way to meet a photographer than while watching a soccer World Cup Qualifier and drinking a pint of beer. A close friend of Tuomas' it was great speaking with Samuli about his recent journey to NYC and his plans on returning for fashion week to shoot more. A great range of innovative work on his site.
