Helsinki in my mind.

Often, even if I don't always want to, I have to leave my forests and travel to the nearest city or to Helsinki. Helsinki is a dear city to me, I work there from time to time, people dear to me live there and I have also lived there temporarily for long periods of time. The city has given me a lot. I've rarely photographed it though, maybe because the days there are always so busy.

 

This ICM version of Helsinki is made of two stacked ICM photos, captured on a sunny November morning. The stacked photo itself was boring, so I colored it more and painted a few cars and a bench so that my image of Helsinki would be what the city really means to me. Joy, success and love.

 

This particular part of Helsinki is completely new and my eyes are not used to it. There are, for example, really tall tower blocks under construction, some already ready. On the left is the sea and the commercial port.

 

The video depicts a more traditional and more familiar Helsinki in January, during the bitter cold.
