Seinäjoki-based portrait photographer Tanja Korpela produces professional portraits and corporate headshots. Her relaxed, personal approach brings out authenticity and personality.
I am Tanja Korpela, a portrait photographer based in Seinäjoki, focused on creating genuine, expressive and professional portrait photography as well as corporate headshots. At the core of my work is the person in front of the camera: I want each image to convey more than a single expression — it should communicate feeling, trust and professionalism. What sets my portrait photography apart is a tailored approach to every session. I discuss your wishes and the intended use of the images beforehand and adapt lighting, background and guidance to match the situation. My style is natural and relaxed; during the shoot I allow space for real interaction while offering subtle directions so expressions stay authentic instead of feeling like forced posing. For corporate shoots the emphasis is on a credible, modern look — photos should work online and in printed materials alike. In individual portraits I search for perspectives that highlight the client’s personality: softer, stronger or more playful interpretations depending on the brief. The service is customised to your goals, whether you need a LinkedIn profile photo, a passport or official image, or brand portraits for your company. The atmosphere during the shoot is intentionally relaxed and encouraging. Often the best moments come from small, spontaneous gestures and glances — that’s why I aim to create a safe environment where clients can be themselves. The process is clear: we start with a conversation about your needs, agree on a shoot date and create a photography plan that serves the final purpose of the images. I draw inspiration from meeting people and the stories their faces can tell. Photography is practical creation — my goal is beautiful, enduring images you can return to again and again. I work with professional lighting setups, consistent color and retouching standards, and deliver files suitable for web and print, ensuring the images remain usable across platforms.
