Thanks to all the opening guests who made their way to my exhibition opening through the autumn storm. It was really fun to see that also the Finnish Minister of Culture and Sport, Paavo Arhinmäki honored the opening at the Finnish Museum of Photography. –What a beautiful evening!

If you didn't have a chance to visit the opening, don't worry, the exhibition is still open until October 16th 2011.

Cheers, Peki

11.09.2011> FINNISH TEENS + HELSINGIN SANOMAT ETC

Good news! Finnish Teens exhibition hasn't even started yet and Helsingin Sanomat (the largest subscription newspaper in Nordic countries) already made a half page article of it in their Sunday section. So if you missed the yesterday's news you might find a treasure in your closest paper recycle bin.

Oh boy! You do not want to get your hands dirty? Yes I knew it, and you are not too enthusiasted to dig your neighbours trashes either. That's why I scanned the arcticle. You can find it HERE.

UPDATE: Helsingin Sanomat wasn't the only newspaper that has been writing about the Finnish Teens exhibition. Actually it looks like there has been articles and news about it all over the country. At least Hufvudstadsbladet, Turun Sanomat, Keskipohjanmaa, Hämeen Sanomat, Kaleva, Ilkka, Pohjalainen, Demari, Savon Sanomat, Karjalainen, and Ylioppilaslehti has published an article about the exhibition. Besides that there has been news about the exhibition in many web magazines and blogs like YLE, Suosikki, Nelonen, City, Finnguide, Luksusblog, Sateenkaarimaalari and This is Finland.

If you have noticed any stories pulished in any other media than mentioned above it would be great if you could drop me an email about it.

06.09.2011> Autumn is here...

Autumn is here... YEP, but don't be too horrified because the good news is that there is only one week left before the Finnish Teens' exhibition opening. It's going to be the BIG one, so if you are alive and in Helsinki – do not miss the opening at Finnish Museum of Photography, September 13th at 5–7 pm. Exhibition will be open until October 16th. For more information, please check: http://www.valokuvataiteenmuseo.fi/en

And just to make sure, our life here in the palace of Korea is not just art: We are happy to tell you that Peki has once again worked on plenty of great commercial projects as well. Besides that we can tell you that he has got flattering feedback from both his old and new clients. We will give you more information on these projects in the near future but at this point we will leave you with the quote from one of our new clients. Like many of Korea's friends the photo editor of the legendary German Stern Magazin seems to appreciate both the style and quality of Peki's work. "Excellent picture, congratulation! -- I'm really satisfied with your work."

Jepulis, autumn is here but that's not such a bad thing after all.

01.06.2011> Korea x Fellowland

There is a new creative office in town. Five highly talented guys (background in Valve, Las Palmas etc.) have just started Fellowland, a creative office. They contacted Korea's finest Peki Sinikoski to make photos for their promotion and communication needs. They wanted to have photos full of action and testosterone. Their idea was to have photos that would be kind of iconic but also self-ironic. One of their thoughts was photos that shows them as a tight group – almost like a band.

Peki started to create a photo concept based on these ideas. The result was some mind-blowing photos showing a mysterious special unit arriving from the middle of the sea carrying a chair, desk and other office equipment with them to ground their office in the middle of the wilderness. The concept included the ideas listed by the guys from Fellowland, but with some extra flavors added on the top of the cake. Photos also played fantastically with the idea of the so called mobile office with kind of crazy twist of sisu (Finnish term loosely translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity).

The guys really liked the idea and they simply loved the final images. The whole thing was shot in the Finnish archipelago in the early spring and guys were forced to stay long periods in the 6°C cold water. "In the photos we wanted to use old cool looking dry suits. They looked super nice but unfortunately they leaked cold water inside. So half of the whole day photo session guys were swimming in the ice cold water and the rest of the session they were carrying heavy desk over the rocks and hills. I can promise you that if these guys are ready to give that much effort for their clients as they did on shooting that day, they are going to have a bright future", laughed Peki afterward.

Rumours tell that also Mr. Sinikoski himself was standing in the middle of sea wearing only his undies, beanie and digital Hasselblad. Sometimes that's exactly what it takes to find the perfect angle for the photos.

27.05.2011> Peki in Press

Helsingin Sanomat, the largest subscription newspaper in Nordic countries has a weekly magazine called Nyt-liite. In today's issue Peki's photos of Finnish Teens has been pointed out as a gem of MoA 2011 exhibition. We totally agree and want to remind you that if you did miss this exhibition, make sure to see his forthcoming exhibition in the Finnish Museum of Photography in September.

Arttu Magazine made an interview with Peki. You can find the scanned version of that one HERE. Text is written in Finnish by Tommi Laitio, including an English resume.

13.05.2011> Peki goes MoA 2011

We are happy to tell you that a selection of Peki's new Finnish Teens photo series is part of MoA 2011 exhibition (more information HERE). The whole series will be exhibited in September at the Finnish Museum of Photography.

Oh, and by the way Peki just graduated from Aalto University's Department of Photography. So please remember that from now on whenever you speak/write to him you should always call him Master Sinikoski or Magister Artium Sinikoski. And don't you never ever forget that. The only exception is taken from Master Yoda.

 

10.05.2011> New Method & Steven Elop

Hello my friends! We have just invented an incredible working method that we are now happy to share with you. Our all future projects are from now on based on the revolutionary Korea's STSDESFGSMEHSGVTSGPGSHCMUSHT® method that changes everything. Again. It just works. It's like tiger unleashed.

And if you haven't figured it out on your own, the method's name is based on it's original version: Super Talented Super Dad Eating Super Food to Get Super Much Energy to Have Super Good Vibes to Take Super Good Photos to Get Super Happy Customers that Make Us Super Happy Too.

If you are an old friend of Korea you might know that we haven't been too active to publish tearsheets of our projects, but because we just got this one all the way from Canada we are going to make an exception.

This one is from one of the latest Canadian Business Magazine. They made an article of "Canada's own boy" Nokia's CEO Mr. Steven Elop. Photos for the article was taken by your Korea's finest Aki-Pekka Sinikoski. The client loved the photos and trusts us, that's what they do. Thanks to our patented STSDESFGSMEHSGVTSGPGSHCMUSHT® method.

Good Shit World Wide 2011!

 

13.04.2011> New Album!

Today the new album of Jarkko Martikainen has been released. It is titled 'Usko' which means faith in Finnish. Usko is also an old traditional male name in Finnish.

The picture concept of the album was created by me together with Jarkko, and graphic designer Jussi S. Karjalainen. It's a visual story about an artist living by himself and thinking about faith and his relationship to religions. The photos of the album is showing how this man is building his own wooden poorboy (vaivaisukko) called Usko. The artist is starting to live his life together with this little wooden man.

These wooden poorboys have traditionally standed outside of churches to collect money for the sick and poor people. This wooden poorboy in the pictures was actually builded by Jarkko Martikainen himself.

The new album is excellent and I strongly recommend you to get it as a really beautiful limited deluxe version that includes not only a CD and a DVD, but also hell of a lot of great pictures taken by me.

All the best, Peki

 

05.04.2011> Tuesday Mix by Annie

Happy Tuesday to everyone! We do not want to be rude but how is your ass? Fat? Skinny? EPIC? Actually, it really doesn't matter, even if it's expanding faster than the European Union – the only thing that matters is that it should be shaking. If you do not have any good tunes around, you can do like we did by buying DJ Fett Burger's and Annie's fantastic (and super limited) Tuesday Mix. At least it crowded the dancefloor here in the the palace of Korea. If you want to get this 5 euros gem, be sure to be quick and contact your personal dealer monsieur Per Dein. More info: HERE

BTW, the background image of Annie's site is taken by our own dancing king kong, Mr. Aki-Pekka Sinikoski himself. Shine On You Crazy Diamond!

 

14.03.2011> Album Art Works for Samae Koskinen

A lot of great projects in the pipeline right now. Magazine covers, four album art works (including covers), portraits of and for different business leaders, marketing photos for different companies etc. I'm also happy to announce that I will take part in the MoA 2011 exhibition taking place in Helsinki at May 12th-29th.

Samae Koskinen's new album Kuuluuko, kuuntelen has been released today. I did the album art work for it together with 2–5 years old kids. My consept for the album was simple but great: To use the one and same photo for every cd single, cd album, and the vinyl – but to make the expression for all these covers totally different with the help of children's drawings on top of the photo. Technically this was made in good old school way: Big black and white photo prints painted over with oil crayons by several very young artists. Graphic design for the album was made by Jussi S. Karjalainen from my Super8 Studio.

You can find the album art works for the CD and vinyl versions on the top. Below you will find the video sampler with all of these images. Check out iTunes for the deluxe digital version of the album with the digital booklet. Btw, Samae's album is excellent!

Yours, Peki

 

 

24.01.2011> Camera, Light House, Action!

Good books, long walks by the sea shore, and the loved ones around you. O'boy! I always surprise myself with realizing what a good investment a long holiday is to onerself. Now I'm so entusiastic, full of energy and ready for new adventures.

Two weeks ago I was shooting photos for one of my forthcoming art project in Denmark. I was fortuned to travel there together with my family so it didn't feel like working at all. We were playing together with my daughter on the snow covered beaches, spotting the lighthouses and really enjoying the cold winds blowing from sea and filling our lungs with fresh air and our heads with new ideas.

Even that I might sound naive I have to admit something. I really, trully love photographing. Sometimes when I'm busy with hundreds of different kind of projects, I forget to say it outloud. But here we go: I love photographing! It was crystalized to me during the holiday; finding myself standing in the ice cold water in Denmark just to capture the perfect image.

So, now I'm back in Helsinki and ready for the action. Waiting eagerly on what year 2011 will bring us. I have updated my web portfolio so please do yourself a favor and reserve a small break from everything else, grab a good cup of coffee, lift your feet on the table and enjoy the great new photos I have uploaded for you.

Cheers, Peki

P.S. A couple of months ago I was shooting an advertisement for Genelec together with the guys from Look Mama + Las Palmas in co-operation with N2. We did the advertisement with living legends Michael Monroe and Sam Yaffa. You can find the still picture for the ad in my portfolio. HERE you can find the video with the some behind the scene clips of the actual photo shooting.

7.1.2011> Expect 2011 to be even better!

Peki a.k.a. Aki-Pekka Sinikoski is represented in the States by the Wonderful Machine. The people working there for him are huge fans of great photos and it has been really nice for him to be represented by the people who truly love his pictures. And guess what, the last two months of 2010 was fully booked already by the end of October so it seems that also his clients love his photos.

Year 2010 was superb for the citizens of Korea. We really managde to extend our client base. We did wonderful job with clients like The New Yorker, Veikkaus, Telia Sonera, Ruukki, Global Blue, Universal Music, Suunto, Sanoma Magazines, Aalto University and Polyvinyl Records. But of course we didn't forget our old loyal clients either. For example during the last six months of the year Peki shooted four covers + cover stories for Suosikki, which is the biggest youth magazine in Scandinavia. It is also a client who has been using Peki's photographic skills for more than 10 years now. That's what we call a loyal customer relationship!

Suosikki made a cover story about juvenile delinquents trying to make their way back from the shadows to the brighter side of society. Suosikki ended up running a close up photo of one of these guys as a whole page opening photo for the story. On the cover shot the same guy was arrested by the cops. Afterwards Peki got feedback from the magazine, its readers, and even from his collegues that these were "great images with a strong emotional feeling".

Technical qualities like good light and composition can make a good photo but if you are looking for a great one – it's not enough. Like Mark Murrmann, photo editor at Mother Jones, puts it "What makes a great photo is an image that not only conveys some kind of information, but also works on an emotional level. It can be punch-you-in-the-gut direct, it can be more subtle, something that pulls you in slowly and allows you to wander around the image, keep coming back to it even if you aren't sure why; it can be funny, witty, wry; it can be something that elicits a feeling of remembrance, something that reminds you of your own life; it can be horrifying, or gratifying. But it has to do something; it has to connect with the viewer."

Most of Peki's clients want to make their voice visual and they want their voice to be heard. They contact him because they are chasing great photos that stands out from the constantly growing flood of photographs. Even though we might sound like American TV Shop: It doesn't matter if you don't know what kind of photo are great for your business. It's enough that you know that you need the great photos and you know where to get them. And hey, you should know it by now. Baby, welcome to Korea!

P.S. Peki is still shooting somewhere in Denmark, but don't worry – he will be back next week so more truly great photos is available really soon.

26.10.2010> Solo exhibition in Finnish Museum of Photography

Good news my friends! I have just signed a contract for a solo exhibition at the Finnish Museum of Photography. It will take place in September 2011. I'm really happy that I got a chance to exhibit my works in the greatest photography arena in Finland. Still almost one year to go but hey, I have to warn you: This is going to be the BIG one!

All the best, Peki

28.09.2010> Back in Helsinki, Back in Business, and Back in Bed!

Sleep, honey, c-vitamin, chicken soup and fairy tales about dragons. I'm at home with my daughter trying to help her to beat the flu. She just started to build a hut in our bed for her imaginery friend, a dog called Tapi. Pretty good signs that we can soon say au revoir to snot, coughing and fever.

Autumn has arrived not only with my daughter's flu from kindergarden but also with coloful leaves and many great photo projects. I have just finished some shootings for companies like TeliaSonera, Ruukki and Global Blue. Next stop will be to shoot images for the visual identity of B-open Art Festival in Bergen, Norway.

Feels great to be back in Helsinki!

Cheers, Peki

18.08.2010> Stockholm

God morgon Sverige! In the shooting set up with my daughter Isla. For the last weeks I have have been working here in Södermalm with the pre-production for my next photo project starting this Autumn. After weeks of a super intensive work session I'm now having one week holliday here with Isla. So beware Victoria – there is a new princess in town!

XXX, Peki

12.07.2010> I love you! You are the best audience ever!

What a gig at Forbidden City in Peking. All these wonderfull people came over just to see me perform… or not really… But I defenetly had one of the most bizarre shootings ever in Forbidden City with lovely rock band Stalingrad Cowgirls from Finland. It felt really quite weard to suddenly realize that there was a hell of a lot more people behind the camera than in front of the camera. Actually there was people lining to see our photo shooting! Only in Asia!

The shooting was a blast and so were Riina, Henna and Enni. We did even more photos back in Helsinki. The photo below ended up as the cover of Suosikki magazine.

Yours, Peki

 

24.05.2010> King Peki back from Peking

Perfect night. Drinking coffee in the sunset by the sea after chilling the whole day with my family in the Finnish archipelago. Last months have been pretty hectic, but to be honest
– I like it that way.

I just got back from Peking where I photographed Finnish rock band Stalingrad Cowgirls. At this point I can't really tell you more about this project except that we had super fun. You're going to love the photos as soon I'm able to show them for you.

Actually I can promise you that Korea will soon bless you with an update with even more new pictures that will steal your heart. That's because there is so many great projects going on right now for clients like Universal Music Finland, Suunto, Helsingin Sanomat, Palloliitto, Suosikki and ImageMaker.

I'm also happy to tell you that from now on I am represented in the US by Wonderful Machine.

Cheers, Aki-Pekka Sinikoski

18.05.2010> New Book, New Pictures

Veikkaus just published a book called Respect. It's the third book in a series written by Erkki Alaja, legendary power player in Finnish sport. The successful athletes interviewed for the new book are all photographed by the one and only, Aki-Pekka Sinikoski. Graphic design is by Sasu Haanpää. We have updated some of these photos to the gallery section.

Be sure to check them out!

22.02.2010> Casiokids x Korea

Snowstorm and champagne in Stockholm. The King of Korea just arrived back to Helsinki to work with some great new photo projects. Ajja Bajja, Bang Bang!

But our news is not only about Finland and Sweden. It's pretty much about Norway too, where Casiokids has released their new album “Topp Stemning på Lokal Bar”. Aki-Pekka Sinikoski has taken more than 30 awesome photos for this digipacked double CD.

After Norway, Casiokids will release the album in the USA and UK as a double CD and a double vinyl. There’s going to be exclusive versions for all these regions so be sure to check them out! All layouts are designed by Petri Henriksson/Blank Blank and photographed by Korea's finest Aki-Pekka Sinikoski.

And, as the snow storm covers also Helsinki, we leave you with updates full of joy for your eyes. New portraits, new nature photos & a small stack of new Casiokids pix.

Have fun!

22.01.2010> Twenty Ten

Greetings from the palace of Korea. We do not have wasps here, nor ants or mosquitoes either. Only buzy bumblebees buzzing in the Finnish winter wonderland ready to serve you the sweetest honey.

We are super excited about the new decade. We are sure year Twenty Ten is going to offer us fantastic new adventures plus a lot of opportunities and greatness. The last months have been the busiest in Korea's history. That means hell of a lot interesting shootings including some of the best works we have done. Future looks even brighter!

Definitely a nice thing was that legendary The New Yorker Magazine wanted to buy Aki-Peki's photo of pop star Annie for their January 11th 2010 issue. You can find the exclusive photo and Sasha Frere-Jones' great article here.

Before the X-mas snowstorms Peki also shot cover + all booklet pictures in Berlin for the forthcoming Casiokids album. Double CD will be released together with 26 pages booklet including more than 30 Sinikoski's picture. Graphic design for the CD is made by Petri Henriksson/Blank Blank. Album will be released first in Norway and after that at least in the UK and USA. We will post Casiokids’ photos as soon as the record hits the store.

Meanwhile, check out our galleries. There is plenty of new stuff including marketing photos Peki took for Helsingin Sanomat. Helsingin Sanomat will use these photos mostly as a part of their B-to-B marketing in prints, products, and presentation slideshows (example below). Photos are made in co-operation with Family Inc Advertising Agency. We were super happy to make the client’s voice visible and even happier to hear that "the final result was exactly what they wanted and even so much more than we could even ask for."

Happy new decade folks! May it be colourful & sweet!

19.11.2009> Gimme, Gimme Some Chocolate Sausage!

Our main chef Peki has made hell of a lot of visual gourmets during the last months here in the cooking point of Korea. Sinikoski has once again feed hungry mouths all over in the field of photography. A lot of visual candies, dinners, lunches and snacks with the best Nordic flavours... As the grande menu he has lately photographed a large advertisement campaign for Helsingin Sanomat in co-operation with Family Inc.

In January 19th we will drop new chocolate for your eyes! So if you want to feed your eyes and soul you are more than welcome to enjoy the hottest sweets in town. But if you can't take the heat, beware of you steps in our kitchen.

P.S. Unfortunately for you, Aki-Pekka Sinikoski is fully booked for the rest of the year 2009. So sorry, no more new photo shootings for this year. But if you want to have your own piece of photographic heaven, now is the perfect time to start to make your bookings for 2010.

Peace!

We will be yours in times of plenty and in times of want, in times of sickness and in times of health, in times of joy and in times of sorrow, in times of failure and in times of triumph. We promise to cherish and respect you, to care and protect you, to comfort and encourage you, and stay with you, for all eternity... or something."

24.7.2009> Something BIG

Peki is in the middle of something BIG. During the summer he has worked really hard with his forthcoming book project. Here in the palace of Korea we have already seen many of these pix and we can already now promise that this shit is hot! It will blow your eyes out of their orbits!

To still keep your eyes rolling we have decided not to spoil you with sneak previews. At this point we will give Peki full freedom to work in a complete radio silence before the time is right for releasing the hurricane.

That doesn't mean we haven't updated new pix for you from other current projects. Earlier this year Peki took some photos for Annie's 12" Anthonio. Annie liked those photos so much that she wanted to have another photo session with Peki. Some of these new photos will be used on her new album sleeve, the rest as promo photos. But for you we will give a super exclusive DIY robot scenario.

Lately Peki has also been a guest speaker at several schools and once again had photo sessions for ST1, Suosikki (a lot of pictures including another new cover photo), Aalto University, Equens, and Total Identity. Besides that he has worked in three other projects for studios located in Helsinki, Berlin, and Hong Kong. Hopefully we can tell you more about these ones soon.

24.7.2009> Borta Bra

At the end of last year Peki and Matti from Superkasi created the DIY Swedish Karaoke Video called Borta Bra. It was a part of Superkasi's pavilion of Hidden War Treasures from Sweden. Now we have been asked (even by Swedes) to put this video online. So here we go. Next summer's Paskalista hit already here. For your eyes only.

P.S. At the end of last year Peki arranged and curated Helsinki Biennale at the Finnish Design Museum. Finally we have got statistics concerning Helsinki Biennale from the museum. Design Museum was visited by 25.340 persons during the exhibition time. To be honest: here in Finland it is a shit lot of people.

12.7.2009> To Petri

Light hits only the surface. That makes it so hard to find the hiding words. Time doesn't stop and I'm sitting in the drifting reality between all these flowers and my daughter.

I'm proud that we were always two. Side by side. Brothers. Loving each other and sharing things. I can't put my arm on your shoulder anymore but you are still with me. Every day. For that I'm grateful.

24.4.2009> Viva la vida local

Horrible terrible black suit, an opera hat, and dark circles under his eyes. The King of Korea Peki is back from San Francisco. He came back to offer some peanut butter candies for his mother and some visual goodies for you.

Your local visual dealer has updated new pics online. –Good shit world wide! Beautiful landscape photos and brilliant portraits of Finnish teens, Regina, Danko Jones, Happoradio, Redrama, Annie, and McG, the director of new Terminator Salvation movie.

You can also spot Peki's picture with Jukka Duudson on the cover of latest Suosikki magazine. Peki has also taken promo photos for the new season of TV-series Huvila and Huussi. There has also been a lot of great photos for other clients too like Aalto University and ST1. For St1 he worked in co-operation with Imagemaker to promote ST1's super great innovation that turns waste and sidestreams into bioethanol in small local units.

27.3.2009> Cliché with hot dog

There is places and subjects that are photographed by millions of photographers in the world. One of these are definetly Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. So here we go, this is Peki's version of the Cliché.

Peki was invited to San Francisco to visit George Lucas' super legendary company Industrial Light & Magic which has invented basically all the new techinical innovations in film industry in last 30 years.

14.1.2009> Bama lama bama lou!

We have started this year with plenty of great projects. Peki just came back from Berlin where he was having a photo session with Norwegian Annie for her forthcoming 12" release. Covers are going to be made by the same duo behind the visual identity of Helsinki Biennale, Petri Henriksson and Aki-Pekka Sinikoski. Here is a raw sneak peak from the photo session.

05.01.2009> New webpage! New Year! New Beginning?

O'boy, new year, New Delhi, and... new webpage! Needless to say, a lot of new goodies and visual hooks available. So enjoy! And then we have this thing called year 2009! What should I say: Uh... Work out... Plenty of rest... You know, eat your green vegetables... Seriously I thing it's going to be hard times for many people. But still, for some reason, I feel carefully optimistic. Propably 2009 will be the end of the era of bling bling. The end of one chapter will also be the beginning of a new one. Propably there are a million things that people and companies have to re-think.

Throughout history, hard times has often worked like composts. During the last years we have just dumped everything. Now we are living the period when all of these rotten structures start to stink. I hope that all this waste has soon turned into green gold. At least I hope this ground will seed new ideas, new phenomens, new ways to think and act for a better future... Yep! At least I hope so. Anyway, we are not going to slow down. Actually we are just about to run like Paavo Nurmi. We are having a lot of great projects going on and 2009 will propably be our busiest year ever!

Korea 2009 – Tougher than Cobra, Rocky, and Rambo and all their dads together!

01.11.2008> Visual identity for Helsinki Biennale

Last months Peki has worked hard for organizing and curating Helsinki Biennale. He has also worked with visuals for the biennale together with Petri Henriksson. Here you can find some examples of the visual identity they made together. By the way: the t-shirts were pretty cool not only because they looked great but also because they were made with a minimal environmental footprint. Helsinki Biennale's limited edition t-shirts have been printed on EarthPositive = Organic cotton + ethically traded clothes + carbon neutral manufacturing. More Helsinki Biennale stuff can be found at www.helsinkibiennale.com

05.10.2008> Hei, Hi & Moi!

If sleep is new black we are wearing all white! Peki actually wrote that on Helsinki Biennale's website sometimes in July and now we have to say that damn, he's a prophet! The last months we have been working like three Esaus! Royal family of Korea is doing it with style. Jessica is back from maternity leave and she is working for YLE with Pink Eminence to produce massive Kulttuurikunto -project in Swedish. Isla is learning to walk and talk. Peki has been working hard for Helsinki Biennale. It is going to be a World Fair taking place in Design Museum. It is curated and organized by him with more than 150 artist involved. He has also been working with a project called Artnet. These both invisible projects that you haven’t been enable to see are soon right in front of your eyes. The Helsinki Biennale opening is 24th October 6 p.m. Artnet will be launched 30th October 6 p.m. Peki has also been doing a lot of great photo projects. To pick up our favorite ones he has taken promotional photos for Metronome Film & Television Company, for the new Rajaton album cover and for Raivio & Kulju's exhibitions in London and Liverpool. He also made the portrait of Helena Hyvönen, the new rector of Universiy of Art and Design Helsinki. There has also been many photo sessions in the music business (e.g. Apulanta, Lordi, Von Hetzen Brothers...) and some projects in fashion industry and some projects in the field of art... we will upload those photos on the webpage after Helsinki Biennale's opening. By the way, as a friend of Korea, you are of course invited to the opening. Check out more: www.helsinkibiennale.com

News archive of Korea can be founded HERE.
