I am Outi,  a photojournalist from Helsinki. I work as a freelance photographer and as a photo editor for Helsingin Sanomat. Recently I have had the honor of being chosen as the New Photojournalist of 2022 in Finland.

​

As a freelancer, I have done a variety of assignments for different kinds of media and organizations (e.g. HS, YLE, Lännen Mediat, the City of Helsinki, Finnish Fefugee Council, Save the Children, SLL). In addition to that, I am working on my own book project, which follows the everyday life of asylum seekers who came to Finland in 2015. 

​

As a photojournalist, I want to focus on inclusive representation. 

My heart beats for puppies, vegan food, urban culture, nature and human rights.

​

I'm always up for new assignments, give me a call and let's talk more!
