I am thirty-something gal from Finland who loves photographing. I think I was only 3 yrs old when I first time held camera in my hands. When I was a little girl, I used to go sleep over at my grandpa’s house with our German shepherd Rocky, who was my best friend. Grandpa often bought a film for the camera, so when we went out for a walk with grandpa and Rocky, I could take pictures of Rocky, grand
pa and nature. So, that’s pretty much how I got into photographing and got the spark. At the age of 14 (if I remember right), I got my first digital camera which was Olympus SP 500-UZ. It was pretty good camera which got me even more hooked into photographing. When I was 19 yrs old, I bought my very first digital SLR, which was Canon EOS 1000D. Definitely not pro quality camera but good enough for me to get to know how these SLR camera’s work. With that camera I photographed more and less for several years. At some point I started to use my fathers camera, which was Nikon D3100. In 2014, I bought for myself a new camera, Nikon D5200 with two objectives. I have always liked photographing dogs, and as you can see from my pictures even to this day, I still love capturing dogs, their soul, their playful goofy side and also the serious side. I also photograph other animals (cats, horses, birds), nature, motocross and eatable things. I have only read some books about photographing, camera’s manuals and learned by doing. As for me, there is still lot to learn. I hope you all enjoy photos I’ve taken. Don’t hesitate to send a message or question.
