Valokuvaamo Vanhatalo (T. Vanhatalo Oy)

Valokuvaamo Vanhatalo is a long-established portrait studio serving the Nurmijärvi and Klaukkala areas. Tapio Vanhatalo trained at the Lahti Institute of Design (graduated 1981), and decades of work in editorial and theatre photography inform every portrait: precise visual judgement, an understanding of expression and a relaxed working manner are evident in each image. Our core expertise is portrait photography — creating professional portraits and headshots that capture natural presence and individual character. I work with both young people and adults, and the studio offers a calm environment where clients can feel at ease. Typical assignments include graduation portraits, family member portraits, CV and corporate headshots, and any project where balancing personality and professionalism is important. My approach is client-focused: we begin with a conversation about your wishes and the intended use of the images, plan the session together and I guide posing and expressions so the final result feels genuine. In the studio I use soft, controlled lighting and subtle direction to keep expressions natural and to avoid a forced feel. Finished images are carefully retouched and delivered electronically, giving you the freedom to print or share them as you wish. Passport photos are handled efficiently at the studio: we take the photo and, if needed, can send it electronically directly to the police to simplify passport or ID applications. In addition to contemporary portrait work, I offer photo scanning, restoration and digitization services for anyone who wants to preserve or refresh old photographs. Choose Valokuvaamo Vanhatalo when you want a portrait that truly represents you — created with professional skill, a warm approach and local service in Nurmijärvi.
