Mielikuvittaja Tomi Aho

Mielikuvittaja Tomi Aho is a portrait photographer based in Kangasala who places professionalism at the heart of portrait and personal photography. After beginning his career around the turn of the millennium while studying photography, Tomi has developed a sensitive, conversational working method that guides his shoots: “Even if you can’t say exactly what images you need, I can ask you the right questions.” This approach is especially visible in portraits that aim to capture both external appearance and inner character. His specialisations cover a wide range of portrait photography: from artistic portraiture and atmospheric graduation photos to confirmation portraits and professional headshots for companies. In image planning Tomi combines visual aesthetics with long experience in communicative photography — resulting in portraits that serve both as personal keepsakes and as powerful professional images for websites and communications. Tomi’s working style is client-focused and relaxed: he arrives at the shoot with his equipment and, if needed, works in a rental studio. During the session he provides gentle but clear direction so the result looks natural and authentic. Depending on the assignment, Tomi can also plan shoots in collaboration with a communications or marketing team when the project involves corporate or staff photography. Professional background and recognition speak for themselves: more than 20 years of diverse experience, the Portrait Photographer of the Year award, and the Master Photographer title from the Finnish Association of Professional Photographers ensure that each session is handled with expertise and the final images are meticulously finished. If you are looking for a portrait photographer in the Kangasala or Tampere region who understands how to capture both personality and message, Mielikuvittaja Tomi Aho offers a calm, thoughtful and visually strong approach to portrait photography — for private clients, graduates, or company personnel.
