Studio Jaanis Kerkis Oy in Laajasalo is a portrait photographer who captures genuine personality in a calm studio setting. A client-focused, careful approach produces natural, timeless portraits.
Studio Jaanis Kerkis Oy is a Laajasalo studio specializing in portrait photography that places presence and personality at the heart of its work. My focus on portraiture means every session is carefully planned around the individual’s needs and wishes: within the studio environment I create a calm, trusting atmosphere where clients can be genuinely themselves. My style is personal and client-centered. I avoid forced posing and instead create situations where natural expressions and gestures emerge. During the shoot I offer gentle guidance on posture and expression while leaving room for spontaneity — the result is images that feel authentically yours. The studio’s lighting and working methods are designed to emphasize facial nuances and expressions, producing a timeless, high-quality result. My working approach is transparent and relaxed. Before the session we review your wishes and expectations so the shoot feels relaxed and clearly planned. In the studio we build the session step by step: from creating the right mood, through adjusting the light, to the final touches. The direction I provide is warm and professional — I aim to make every session feel safe and encouraging. The work of Studio Jaanis Kerkis Oy is driven by a desire to capture the subtleties of humanity: small gestures, glances and moments that tell a story. The Laajasalo studio offers the calm and space needed for a personal encounter, which helps produce photographs with both aesthetic and human value. If you want a portrait that represents you genuinely and is executed with care, Studio Jaanis Kerkis Oy offers specialized expertise in portrait photography. Photography is for me a way of telling people’s stories — each image is an opportunity to reveal an individual presence. The Laajasalo studio provides an environment where that story unfolds calmly and professionally. Whether you seek a classic headshot, an expressive personal portrait, or a timeless studio session, I’m committed to delivering images that reflect who you are with clarity and respect.
