Helsinki city lights

Me, Paddy and Pilvi decided to go out for drink after a successful haircut on them both. I was really pleased of my work on their heads so we were feeling a bit festive. We ended up on a bar I used to work- BEATROOT. I noticed that their lights on top of their entrance were perfect for capturing the essence of a normal Helsinki night with it's colours and dim mystery. Here is a portrait of us all and it is really funny that these photos ended up looking like a mini editorial with out poses and colour coordinated clothes.

A night out with Pilvi and Katri!

I ended up with these girls to Bar Nolla last friday to listen one of the DJ's from the Kitsune dj compilation. The best thing was that I got accidentally sloshed even though I had to go to work next morning at 7.30am. hahahahah I felt a bit crispy next day but it was worth it!

Greta's new shoes!

Dye it even more read!

You know the feeling when you give your pinky it takes your whole hand. Well that is what has happened with dear Pilvi. Yesterday I had to dye the hair again within a week to get the flaming red outcome. I was exhausted hahahaha. In a way it good that I am fixing my friend's hairdo's because withing a month and a half I am going to start a 2 year program to be a hairdresser. Yup here I come blow dryer.

Summer and a rooftop terrace

Yesterday I spent a moment on a rooftop terrace with my friends having some cola and a nice conversation. It was nice to see the sun come on the sky and feel the warmth of it after a rainy week. It was truly relaxing.

Spending the day with friends!

Today me and my friends found our inner children. We spent the whole day outdoors playing with carousels, climbing on the children climbing castles and played tag. It was so refreshing just to play and laugh and forget the whole stressful adult life.

Waiting for the tram...

Yesterday evening we were waiting the tram for 15 minutes so I got my camera out and started to shoot my friends and vice versa for spending the time faster. This is urban Helsinki streetlife at it´s best...

Finland´s next top model

The casting call is on. The concept that Tyra Banks created has shored on the banks of Helsinki. They are looking for girls to star in the show and actually my friend actually applied today with my assistance. I shot the head shot and the bodyshot for the application and you guys can see them now. Tell me what do you think. Does she have what it takes. I like her!
