Antti Rintala photography

Antti Rintala is a portrait photographer based in Oulunkylä whose core expertise is portrait photography. Antti works with a calm, people-centred approach: he seeks genuine expression and personality in images rather than over-posed looks. In his studio (atelier) and in nearby environments, Antti creates settings where trust between photographer and subject forms quickly — resulting in timeless portraits that tell the subject’s story without unnecessary tricks. Conversation and preparation are central to the working process. Before a session Antti goes through your wishes and the intended use of the images — whether you need a corporate profile, a LinkedIn headshot, a passport or an official portrait — and plans lighting and location accordingly. During sessions he gently directs poses and facial expressions while leaving room for natural moments. The aim is to make subjects feel relaxed: a good atmosphere always shows in the final images. Antti’s style combines the aesthetics of classic portraiture with a contemporary, authentic approach. He favours soft light and careful composition so that facial features and personality come forward. In addition to the Oulunkylä studio, Antti uses nearby nature and urban scenes when an expressive environmental portrait is desired. The goal is always images that work both for professional use and as personal keepsakes. Although portrait photography is Antti’s specialty, he also undertakes corporate and family photography when needed. These projects benefit from the same people-centred approach and precise light- and composition work, delivering a consistent level of quality across different assignments. Antti values clear communication, flexibility and an unhurried shooting experience. He also advises on wardrobe, styling and practical details to ensure the photos meet their intended purpose. Antti’s motto is to make portrait photography effortless and personal. If you’re looking for a portrait photographer in Oulunkylä who focuses on expression, authenticity and refined results, Antti Rintala offers a calm studio experience and professional final products that endure.
