Foto & Studio Jukka Mäkinen

Welcome to portrait photography at Foto & Studio Jukka Mäkinen — a central Tampere studio where portrait photography is our core expertise. With over 40 years of experience photographing people, we focus on creating portraits that genuinely reflect you: natural, refined and timeless. Our portrait photographer approaches each person individually. The most important element in studio portraiture is direction: the right atmosphere and a calm shooting environment help capture authentic expressions and confident posture. We produce portraits in both classic and more contemporary styles — always aiming to highlight the client’s best features without excessive artifice. Our way of working is warm and guiding. Before the session we discuss your wishes and the intended use of the images — do you want a portrait for a wall at home, a representative professional photo for a website, or a LinkedIn profile picture? During the shoot we guide poses and facial expressions calmly and step by step so the result feels natural and inspires confidence. Image retouching is part of our service: we carefully finalize photos to preserve the expression and mood while ensuring technical quality. From our studio you can also order finished photographic products — high-quality enlargements, canvas prints and other prints are produced according to the client’s preferences. Foto & Studio Jukka Mäkinen is also experienced in corporate photography and professional profile photos, so business clients and job seekers can find an image that works across media. Although portrait photography is our main focus, we offer friendly and expert service across related needs: digitization and image-editing expertise allow us to accommodate special requests. By choosing us you gain the professional skill of an experienced portrait photographer, a calm studio experience and personalised service. Our studio in central Tampere provides the right conditions for successful portrait sessions — we look forward to creating images together that stand the test of time.
