Päivi Kankare Studio Imagiaa

I specialize in portrait and professional imagery — as a portrait photographer I work at my studio in Salo and in nearby natural and urban locations to create images that feel authentic and look professional. For me, portrait photography is not just a moment in front of the camera but a collaborative process: we plan together what you want your images to communicate, prepare the mood and any props, and carry out the shoot with a relaxed approach. My working style is warm and guiding. I coach poses and expressions so the result is a natural look that best represents you — not stiff poses, but the real you. I offer sessions at STUDIO IMAGIAA in Salon Meriniitty as well as on location, where we use sunlight, city environments or landscape elements to shape the atmosphere. Clients receive finished images clearly optimized for both web use and print. The process is worry-free for the client: we always begin with a personal planning session, I provide preparation guidelines for clothing and props, and we agree on the practical details of the shoot day. On the day I guide calmly, allow time, and photograph enough variations to find the right expression. Afterwards you choose your favorites from a proof gallery and I deliver the images digitally in web and print resolutions. My specialisms include headshots, personal branding images and professional photography for companies — ideal for LinkedIn profiles, websites and marketing materials. I operate in the Salo area and also serve Turku and the rest of Southern Finland by arrangement. Backing my work are years of experience and a commitment to quality; I am a member of the Association of Professional Photographers in Finland and continually update my skills through ongoing training.
