Design Ilme

Design Ilme works in portrait photography in Joensuu, bringing the same warm, local touch that characterises our design studio's work. In portrait photography the focus is on the person: I aim to reveal personality, professional pride and those small expressions that make each subject unique. Professional images — personal portraits, corporate photos and LinkedIn headshots — are specifically designed to support the client's message and build trust. My working method is straightforward and guided by the client's needs. We always start by discussing goals: who the images are for, what message you want to convey and in which contexts the photos will be used. I create a calm, trusting shoot environment and choose either studio or on-location approaches based on where the space and the brand will be best expressed. During the session I give gentle direction and encourage natural behaviour so the final result feels genuine and approachable. Portraits play an important role in marketing and recruitment: high-quality, personal images build credibility and humanise your brand. Design Ilme combines design expertise and photography — images are planned with practical use in mind for websites, social media and professional profiles. Deliverables include careful retouching and clear usage rights so your images can be used flexibly across channels. I always choose what best serves the client's objectives — whether it's a single profile picture or a full staff portrait series for a company. As a local professional in Joensuu and the surrounding area, I offer in-person presence and easy face-to-face communication, while also accommodating remote projects when agreed. If you want a portrait that tells your story and supports your professional image, let's plan a shoot together where personality and message meet. We will present your story in images — warmly, design-minded and with professional care.
