About the Photographer

25 Years of Experience
Established 2010

I’m Petri Koivisto, a Lahti-based photographer and graphic designer — a portrait photographer whose starting point is always the subject’s story and the intended use. My specialities are professional portraits and corporate headshots, which I create in environments where the photographed person feels comfortable. My advertising background and years of experience in visual communication are visible in image finishing, composition and brand-consistent choices. I approach portrait photography through careful planning and personal interaction. I don’t treat portraits as merely technical tasks: I want to understand what the image must support — a LinkedIn profile, a company presentation, an editorial spread or marketing materials. We usually discuss the desired look and use in advance; when needed I plan angles, lighting and colour palette together with the client or designer. This collaboration ensures the delivered images serve communication goals straight away. I particularly enjoy environmental portraits, but with light studio equipment I also produce professional studio portraits at Dooroom in central Lahti. On location I aim to make use of natural light and the character of the surroundings: authentic places and familiar situations help the subject relax — and that’s when genuine expressions appear. I sometimes visit a location beforehand to find the best shooting spots and the optimal direction of light so the shoot day runs efficiently. Deliverables include professionally retouched images, prepared and cropped for their intended use, and I provide practical guidance on wardrobe, posing and framing before the session. My working style emphasises a calm, unhurried atmosphere: I take people to places where they feel at home and give space for natural moments instead of forcing expressions. My graphic design background is particularly valuable when photos are part of a broader visual whole — I know how an image supports layout, a website or a social campaign. I operate mainly in Lahti, Päijät‑Häme and Southern Finland. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer who combines sensitive, professional portraits with a clear visual line, get in touch — let’s plan a shoot that works both emotionally and purposefully.
