A black and white photo showing a view along one side of a spacious hall where an art exhibition is under construction. It’s taken early in the morning and only lit by rising sun through a row of windows on our left. That wall is outside of the frame, but the grids of light suggest this is an old industrial facility with large framed windows divided into dozens of small panes. A couple of those can be seen on the shady back end wall further along, but they are mostly hidden by a row of large space dividers over three meters or yards tall. One is facing us in the back, and closer to us we see two standing side by side and dividing an aisle along the window wall. So far only a hanging installation has been hung in the back, and we see a bundle of unruly looking threads reaching the stone floor in a frail column striped by the sunlight and the grid of shadows from one of the windows.

The temporary aisle is decorated by a row of elongated rectangles of light from the lowest panes of the window frames. They look like white piano keys with dark gaps separating six sets of six keys along the aisle. The window facing side of the middle divider shows three columns of the window framing shadow grid for width of three keys, and the divider in the foreground has its face all lit up by a set of 5 times 5 rectangular light patches. We count thirty six panes, as the light from the closest column slides down in an angle along the divider side facing us close to the right side of the pic.

A black and white photo showing a bay opening with forrest covered shores obscured by early morning mist. In picture foreground at the end of the bay there is a swimming pier with metal ladder next to an alder to the right of it. The tree is all but a black silhouette framing the view against the already illuminating sky that blends into the distant heavily fogged open water.

The overall atmosphere is peaceful yet somehow ominous; the glowing gateway from the shady bay seems inviting, but we don't know what lies beyond.

Artistic expression of trauma and subsequent mental health issues by means of photography.

Commissioned publicity shot for an art performance depicting trauma and subsequent mental health issues. The artist: Essi Kausalainen.

As for special effects, just rocks thrown into water to create rippled reflections, so no other PS trickery than digital monochrome processing.

A young female performance artist dressed in black cardigan and blouse threads along a river bank gazing down and with arms hanging passively. What we actually see is their reflection on the water, which was photographed from opposite bank so as to present the final photo upside down. Artist's figure and everything around is distorted by surface ripples, slightly at the bottom and increasingly so further up. At face level the distortion is so strong that facial features and shape of the head are shattered beyond recognition.

The overall tone and expression of the subject matter amount to possibly triggering, so content warning was applied.

Portrait of a colleague. I like this a lot as it captures her introvert essence.

A soft toned black and white portrait of a young lady. She looks away, and her eyes are all but hidden behind her eyewear. Shallow depth of field blurs the outline of her lovely face and almost melts it into the luminous even background, which takes the right hand side of the frame. Her hair guards the side of her face from our view, so she remains hidden and distant. This is how she often is, here and at the same time away.

A black and white photograph showing us a wooden stairway swinging down to the next  floor below in a 100 years old rural building. It’s not a spiral staircase, but it does a 180 on its way down, and we are facing the left descending half of the U-turn. We see evenly grey boarded walls on either side of the staircase.

The right side wall cuts a V-shape above the stairs for a solid divider with a handrail board and a column around which the stairway circles. The wall on the left has a tubular wooden handrail attached to it, and it swirls down along the stairway like a snake on its way downstairs. There is also a narrow rectangular window on that wall about half way down the stairs. The handrail descents across it, and the lower left corner of its white framework is curiously covered by the foot ledge of the stairway. Bright daylight from the window illuminates the halfway passage, but it dissolves into the deepening darkness of the stair turn.

This is the view that has now been mixed up before our eyes by rotating the image 90 degrees to the right. The right side wall has become a sloping floor leading down to the dark drop of the U-turn pocket, and the left wall now serves as a ceiling with a skylight window. Between these the now upright steps tilt and swirl towards the abyss. The rail snake passes us from above and dives past the skylight and down the gaping gorge at the end of the floor. This is now a surreal and disorientating view, and one dangerous route ahead of us.
