Kuopio-based portrait photographer and retoucher Olli Jäntti captures genuine expressions and personality. I work client-focused and boldly: "You name it, I'll frame it."
THE MAN BEHIND THE CAMERA — I am Olli Jäntti, a Kuopio-based portrait photographer and retoucher who discovered the joy of photography young and moved toward a professional approach after my studies in 2007. In portrait photography I focus on facial expression, personality and the authenticity of the moment. My work combines technical skill, a visual eye and precise post-processing — retouching is an essential part of how I finish a portrait. "You name it, I'll frame it." This phrase sums up my approach: I listen to the client's wishes, bring my own ideas and together we find the best way to express the person in the image. I keep challenging myself and look for new ways to develop portraits — life and photography are continuous learning. Every session is an opportunity to discover a fresh angle, a genuine expression or a small gesture that tells a story. Shooting is a collaboration for me. I aim to create a relaxed, trusting atmosphere where the client can be themselves with ease. I offer gentle guidance on posing and expression while leaving room for spontaneity. Light, composition and mood are crafted carefully both in studio settings and with natural light — the most important thing is the authentic feeling in the photograph. In post-production I apply professional expertise to refine images: tones, contrast and small corrections are handled with care so the final result is elegant and timeless. Retouching is not just about fixing flaws, but about shaping a visual look that supports the person’s character. If you are looking for a portrait photographer in Kuopio who blends creativity, technical care and a client-centered approach, please get in touch. I work with passion and my goal is always to create portraits where you can see and feel the real presence of the person.
