Mood Films (Lahti) specialises in portraits and personal-brand photography. Veijo Ruotanen combines over 30 years of experience with a relaxed approach to create natural, striking portraits.
Mood Films is the Lahti-based home of portrait photography, where portraits and personal-brand images are created with clear planning yet an easygoing approach — always attentive to the person in front of the camera. Veijo Ruotanen brings over 30 years of photographic experience and storytelling skills that show particularly in the mood of the portraits: the images are not only technically strong but also full of content and character. My working style is relaxed and conversational. We always begin with a few minutes of chat to clarify goals: do you need a clean corporate headshot for LinkedIn, a distinctive personal-brand session, or a more expressive portrait? I plan the shoot together with the client — location, lighting and wardrobe are chosen to suit the purpose so the final images support your message and personality. Authenticity that comes from the person is most important to me. I use gentle direction, calm presence and small tasks to help the subject find a natural expression in front of the camera. This approach works equally well for corporate clients needing professional staff portraits and private individuals who want to develop their personal brand or receive a timeless portrait. After the shoot I handle post-production carefully: I select the best frames, perform colour grading and light retouching, and deliver the images in the agreed formats. I work with professional equipment and commit to quality throughout the entire process — both during the shoot and in editing. Mood Films’ portraits combine a restrained Finnish aesthetic with a narrative approach. I operate in Lahti and Southern Finland, and I’m also happy to arrange remote planning consultations. If you want an image that tells more about you or your company than just a smile, let’s talk about the execution — I will design a shoot where visual style and message meet naturally.
