Anu Kovalainen Photography & Art

Are you looking for a portrait photographer in the Kajaani area who can create both personal portraits and suitable professional images for business use? I’m Anu Kovalainen — a portrait photographer and visual artist from Paltaniemi who approaches portraiture with the same openness and genuine encounter that inform the rest of my work. My particular specialty is portraiture: I aim to produce images that convey humanity and emotion without unnecessary posing. My shooting style favors natural environments and natural light; I gladly photograph outdoors or in a client’s own premises. This adds character to the images and makes them feel more authentic — and it usually makes the shooting experience more relaxed for the client. In addition to portraits, I offer corporate and professional photography: LinkedIn and CV portraits, ID and profile pictures, and other professional shots your company may need. I understand the importance of a good professional image: a clear, timeless, and professional portrait builds trust and visibility. How do I work? We always start with a conversation: tell me your wishes and any reference images — I listen and propose a suitable environment and style. During the shoot I strive to create a relaxed, conversational atmosphere so expressions and posture feel natural. I use professional-grade equipment (including Canon R5 and 6D Mark II bodies and a selection of L-series lenses), so technical image quality is guaranteed. After the shoot I carefully select and retouch the images; delivery is via a secure online folder where clients can download their final files. My service is local and personal — I want the session to feel comfortable for the client and the final images to feel just right. If you want an authentic portrait or a clear professional image in Kajaani, get in touch — let’s plan together what kind of images you need.
