Julius Koivistoinen is a young Finnish student passioned about photography. He's mostly self taught but has already been working as a photographer for a couple of magazines published not only in Finland but worldwide, and his photos have reached to become the cover shots of those magazines for plenty of times. In addition to commercial work, he loves to work on personal projects and with smaller clients. Currently he's available for assignments near Helsinki and Lahti. Be sure to visit his portfolio and Flickr page!
I visited the annual the Night of the Arts held here in Helsinki but for me it was a bit lame. Ok, I arrived there a bit late but still, it can’t be called the _night_ of whatever if almost all of the program is over by 10 p.m… The thousands of drunk youngsters are not worth promoting either.
So here’s the deal.
Zetod is one of the hottest names in Estonia right now. They’re four just about twenty years old guys, very talented musicians and “selling more records than U2 or Madonna in Estonia”, as they said – and I don’t doubt it even for a sec!
I saw them that evening in the Tennispalatsi’s Kulttuurimuseo for my second time. Their gig went so well they made people almost fall off their chairs – even when playing acoustic only.
If you’re into folk rock at all, be sure you’re there in the front row when they drop by at your place!

“Skate SM miniramppi kisat järjestettiin Kiasman design minillä johon oli lisätty kaksi extensionia. Kisat hoiti kotiin Enis joka oli kuulemma juuri treenannut Espanjassa takapihan pooleja muutaman viikon ajan.

Kilpailijat esiintyivät samaisessa järjestyksessä.
For those who care, I apologise for neglecting this blog for such a tremendous amount of time, but let me explain myself…
First of all I’ve been out there living. On my summer holiday I travelled with Marja through the city of London exploring the urban culture and meeting new people for a week. Plus, there’s no London without a portion of fish and chips in an atmospheric pub! (There’s no photo of it though. Sorry!) We also enjoyed amazing local attractions in Saint Peterspurg while visiting my grandparents there and finished the whole package by going to Viljandi Folk Music Festival in the Southern Estonia. We were so dedicated to listening to music and dancing with Marja that we didn’t even take a camera with us. And that’s huge from us!
Here are some of our travelling photos from London and St. Petersburg:
Another reason for me not updating this blog has been work. I’ve been hired as photographer for three different magazines including Softaaja in which my work has been seen already previously. It’s been a wonderful opportunity for me to work in a studio and I have learned a lot! Many shots I have taken there are still waiting for their first publication in the magazines so you folks have to wait for a while for the newest pieces of my work. I’m pretty excited about them already.
Until then here’s some of my work for them:
I was shooting airsoft ages ago but didn’t link to the gallery from my blog. See the gallery from the link below: (Also, see how cool Väinö and his moustages look below.)
One more thing. There’s a new gallery of a skateboarding competition (SkateSM 08) coming up in the near future so stay tuned! Here’s few teasers for you:
Oh, and I bought a new lens but I will tell more about it later! You may guess what it is by judging from the following photo. *tease*
31.5.2008 oli monelle ilon päivä. Kyseisenä päivänä lakitettiin kevään 2008 uudet ylioppilaat kaikkialla Suomessa. Itse olin tällöin Helsingin kaupunginteatterissa todistamassa Kallion lukion lakkiaisia, joka oli tapahtumana hyvin onnistunut puheineen ja musiikkiesityksineen.
Katso ottamiani kuvia lakkiaisista alla olevasta linkistä.
