Hey! I’m Kristian Kaarna, a photographer from Finland who feels at home anywhere in the world. After spending my adult life in vibrant cities like Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Milan, Hong Kong, and Helsinki, I’ve now found my home in the breathtaking countryside of rural Spain. Here, I juggle modern remote work with my love for capturing the beautiful Andalusian landscape.

 

For me, photography is all about finding beauty in the everyday—whether it’s a breathtaking sunset or a person’s unique story. It’s not just about what I see, but how I see it. That’s what transforms a simple snapshot into something truly meaningful.

 

I’m also a big fan of the magic of analogue photography, where I can control the entire process from start to finish. There’s something special about choosing the right film, observing the light, and watching it all come alive in the darkroom. And yes, I love digital photography too—it’s perfect for those everyday moments!

 

My photography journey kicked off in Paris in 1993, where I fell head over heels for the art while studying at MJM and SPEOS. Since then, I’ve showcased my work across Europe, collaborated on exciting projects like Finland’s Centennial Year, and even tried my hd at fashion photography with top models.

 

Now, I’m living the dream in Andalucía, blending my studio and darkroom with the breathtaking landscapes around me. Photography isn’t just my job—it’s my lifelong passion, and I’m always on the lookout for that next magical moment!
