Miia Koskinen is a portrait photographer from Lahti who creates authentic, calm personal portraits. Sessions are relaxed, guided by your personality, and the final images are carefully finished.
Photographer Miia Koskinen specialises in portrait photography and personal portraits — Lahti is her home base and the place where she turns clients’ stories into images. Miia’s working method is built on patience and attentive listening: she wants to understand the mood and expression the client is seeking and guides the shoot toward that goal. The result is authentic and timeless rather than an artificial pose. Why choose Miia? Her approach combines a warm, calming presence with visual sensitivity. During sessions she creates space for natural expression — using conversation, music and small exercises to bring out the best aspects of personality. Clients often describe studio time as relaxing and clearly directed, a setting where their character can come through. Miia’s strength is attention to detail: light, expression and composition are carefully refined, and retouching emphasises natural tones and the authenticity of expressions. She avoids excessive retouching and instead highlights what makes a person recognisable and interesting. This approach suits personal portrait photography as well as images for publications and portfolios that require convincing, true-to-life pictures. The working process is clear and adaptable to the client: before the shoot Miia goes through wishes and expectations, the shooting itself is paced calmly, and afterwards the images are carefully finished. She values trust and communication — a successful result is born from collaboration. If you are looking for a portrait photographer in Lahti who takes personal portraiture seriously and wants to showcase your individual look and story, Miia Koskinen offers a professional, warm and visually considered service. The sessions are centred on you — on how you want to be seen.
