Ani Koivisto photography

Hi — I’m Ani, a portrait and headshot photographer working from my studio in Kallio. For me, portrait photography is more than a technical task: it’s an encounter, a way to tell a story and bring expressions to life. I specialize in creating portraits and personal headshots where style and authenticity meet naturally. Why choose me as your photographer? I approach every session as a meeting between people — calmly, warmly and professionally. My background in the beauty and wellness industry gives me a strong understanding of how light, composition and small details in makeup or clothing affect the final image. I know how to guide a subject gently so that even the most reserved clients relax and feel confident trying expressions that result in truly compelling photographs. My style blends the strengths of studio and natural light: in the studio we craft carefully composed, atmospheric portraits; outdoors we aim for a fresh, urban or nature-inspired feel. During the shoot I focus on open dialogue so the whole process feels like it belongs to you — photography is about creating together. The process is straightforward: we plan your wishes and style together, I photograph in a relaxed atmosphere, and I provide plenty of proofs so you can choose the images that speak to you. While portraiture is my main focus, I also create professional personal images such as CV and LinkedIn photos as well as corporate staff portraits — always with the same people-centred approach. I value safety and respect: I am part of the LGBTQ+ community and follow safe-space principles. That means I meet you as you are and create a session environment where you can express yourself freely. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Kallio who combines a keen visual eye, gentle direction and authentic connection — get in touch. Let’s plan a portrait session that brings out the real you.
