Portrait photography in Mikkeli by Kontrastia Oy. Pihla creates documentary, authentic portraits in studio or on location — professional LinkedIn images, passport photos and corporate headshots with a relaxed, guiding touch.
I’m Pihla — a portrait photographer based in the heart of Mikkeli, passionate about capturing authentic, story-driven portraits. Kontrastia is visible in my work: a slightly raw but realistic style, with colour, joy and rich tones. Portrait photography is my specialty — I help individuals and companies present their environment and personality at their best. Why choose Kontrastia for your portraits? My approach is client-focused and honest. I don’t over‑stage scenes; instead I look for genuine moments and expressions together with you, moments that say something meaningful. Whether you come to the studio or prefer an on‑location session, I create a relaxed and safe atmosphere: I guide poses, suggest ideas, and make sure you don’t need to know “how to be in front of the camera.” The result is portraits that work both personally and professionally — from LinkedIn images to corporate headshots and passport photos. My working method is clear and flexible. Before the shoot we discuss your wishes and decide which visual approach best serves your or your company’s message. On the day, I build an environment where clients can be themselves; in post‑production I finish the images with a sensitive touch, preserving naturalness while enhancing mood. I operate in Mikkeli and the South Savo region, and I’m available to travel further when needed. Kontrastia’s portrait photography combines technical skill, a journalistic eye and a desire to make images useful as storytelling tools. I often collaborate closely with hair and makeup stylists when a more comprehensive visual identity is required for a company. I also offer corporate photography as part of broader brand imagery — building a coherent visual look across websites and social media using portraits as a base. If you’re looking for portrait photography where ease, honesty and narrative meet technical expertise, send a message or book time in the Mikkeli studio. Let’s create images together that stand up to the gaze and tell your story — precisely and genuinely.
