Kaisa Virkkala valokuvaus

I’m Kaisa Virkkala, a portrait photographer based in Hervanta, Tampere, specialising in portrait photography and personal portraits. I have over ten years of experience in photography, and my work centers on portraiture: I aim to bring out the subject’s personality, expression and the details that make images genuinely recognisable. My approach is relaxed and approachable — I strive to create a safe, encouraging atmosphere during the shoot so everyone can be themselves. Often the best images come from gentle conversation and small direction rather than stiff posing. In post-production I prefer subtle, neutral editing that enhances form and expression without heavy effects. That is why these images work well for both personal branding and professional use. I shoot portrait photography in the studio across the Tampere area or, if you prefer, in natural or urban locations. I select lighting and composition to highlight the subject’s strengths, adapting each setup to the mood and purpose of the shoot. Before the session I work closely with the client to map out their wishes and the atmosphere we want to achieve so the final result matches personal style and intended use. Although portrait photography is my core specialty, I also create professional headshots and personal images for LinkedIn profiles, CVs and company use. These sessions combine the visual sensitivity of portrait work with a practical understanding of what makes an effective professional image. I work with passion and a pragmatic mindset — I’m an easy-to-work-with photographer who wants to make the photo experience smooth and enjoyable.
