Kuvia - Photographer Ivan Bessedin

Hi, I’m Ivan Bessedin — a Helsinki portrait photographer focused on capturing recognisable expressions and individual character. I mainly work in portrait photography and also create professional corporate and LinkedIn headshots. Over the years I’ve photographed artists and actors as well as politicians and media personalities, which has sharpened my ability to find authentic moments even in demanding situations. My approach as a portrait photographer is calm and guiding: I want the shoot to feel safe and natural. In both studio and on-location sessions I use a clear visual language — my aim is to reveal the model’s or client’s personality without unnecessary embellishment. Experience from editorial and published work gives me the tools to craft both detail and atmosphere, so the final images work equally well in a portfolio or in corporate communications. Why choose me for portrait photography in Kallio? My work is built on long experience and a professional attitude: I know how to direct poses, use light and composition, and create images that feel timeless yet modern. I collaborate closely with clients before the session — we discuss wishes, style and intended use so the final result serves your needs precisely. While my speciality is portrait photography, I also deliver corporate images and professional profile photos. In corporate shoots I focus on capturing trustworthy, personal expressions that perform well on websites and LinkedIn. Portrait photography is a way of telling people’s stories — together we find the visual style and mood that help you feel genuine in front of the camera. Get in touch and we’ll plan the portrait session that suits you — in a Kallio studio or a location of your choice. I create images that stand the test of time and speak for themselves.
