Specialized portrait photographer based in Lahti. Markus Kuoppala creates natural, professional portraits — from passport photos to LinkedIn and corporate headshots. Calm working style and exhibition background.
Markus Kuoppala is a portrait photographer working in Lahti, focusing on high-quality, expressive portrait photography and professional headshots. His aim in every session is to reveal the person’s character and role — whether the need is a passport photo, a LinkedIn profile picture, or a corporate portrait. His visual language is rooted in naturalness and authentic presence: sessions are built around relaxed dialogue rather than stiff posing. Markus draws on experience from both portrait and documentary photography, which shows in a blend of candid moments and careful, portrait-focused composition. This combination produces images that feel genuine while meeting professional standards. Why choose Markus? He has exhibited his work and received recognition for it, so clients get expertise that stands up to critical and curated presentation. The exhibition background also informs artistic choices when projects call for a more narrative or gallery-oriented approach. The working method is conversational and calm. Before a shoot, Markus discusses your wishes and the intended use of the images — do you want a strong corporate presence, a softer personal portrait, or a clear passport photo? On the day, he creates an atmosphere where it’s easy to be yourself: lighting, composition, and small directions help clients express themselves naturally. The result is portraits that work across online profiles, company materials, and official documents. For businesses, Markus produces professional corporate and LinkedIn headshots that emphasize reliability and personal presence. Passport photo services comply with official requirements while delivering a polished result. Although portrait photography is the core service, Markus also integrates documentary and artistic perspectives when a project benefits from them — for example, for exhibitions or portrait series. This adds depth to the portraits without shifting the main focus: the primary offering remains portrait and professional photography that presents people and companies authentically and stylishly. The studio and most shooting options are based in Lahti, but photography solutions can be arranged according to the client’s needs, including on-location shoots. Whether you need a passport photo, a LinkedIn headshot, or a carefully crafted corporate portrait, Markus Kuoppala offers a professional, calm approach and images that represent you well.
