We remember stories. My photographs tell them. TVa Positive Image — Teppo Valkama — operates in Espoo and the surrounding area, specializing in portrait photography that puts personality and genuine emotion at the center. My approach is narrative: I don’t only photograph appearance but aim to capture the mood of a moment that sticks with you. Why choose me as your portrait photographer? Because I work with purpose and humanity. With years of photographic experience I understand how light and composition shape a portrait, and I use technical tools to support atmosphere rather than overshadow it. My goal is that every portrait feels true to the person — whether it’s a formal passport photo, a LinkedIn headshot, or a corporate portrait used in company communications. My working style is calm and flexible. We start with a conversation: what will the image be used for, what message do you want to convey, and what mood supports that message best. My studio in Espoo is equipped for comfort and professionalism: there is a dressing and makeup area, varied lighting setups and backdrop options, and free parking for clients. This allows us to create professional portraits in an easy, relaxed environment. My specialities are portrait photography and professional images for a range of uses. I produce clear, compliant passport photos, polished LinkedIn headshots, and corporate portraits where an individual employee’s image reinforces the company’s visual identity. Each shoot is treated individually — small adjustments to light, expression and posture give the image an authentic, memorable character. The result is visual material that works both in everyday life and in professional settings — images that tell a story and evoke positive emotions. If you want a portrait that looks like you but communicates more than surface appearance, visit our studio in Espoo or get in touch — we’ll plan a session tailored to you. TVa Positive Image builds portraits that stay in the mind.
