Pia Salonen is a portrait photographer based in Porvoo whose work combines considered visual sensibility with a warm, people-centred approach. Portrait photography is her core expertise: she focuses on capturing genuine expressions, personality and a professional appearance — whether it’s passport photos, LinkedIn and corporate headshots, or personal portraits. Pia’s approach is calm and conversational. Before the session she listens to the client’s wishes and goals so the final images support a personal or professional brand. In the studio or at an agreed-on location she gently and naturally guides posing, which often helps nervousness fade and authentic moments to surface. Light, composition and expression are used in ways that emphasise the person without excessive staging. Pia understands how important a good portrait is in professional communication. For LinkedIn and corporate headshots the aim is to combine credibility and approachability — images that work both online and in printed materials. Passport photography is done in accordance with official requirements while also ensuring the photo feels human and well presented. Clients often describe the shoot as relaxing and trustful: Pia creates an atmosphere where the client’s personality can come forward. After the session she takes care of image finishing and delivery with professional attention, providing retouched files that are striking and ready to use. Digital delivery and print options are available to suit professional and personal needs. Although portrait photography is Pia Salonen’s speciality, she also photographs families, maternity sessions and wedding portraits when clients want the same warm, documentary and portrait-like approach to important moments. In Porvoo and the surrounding area Pia offers a personal service and photographs that endure — images that tell the story of a person authentically. Whether you need a confident LinkedIn headshot, a compliant passport photo, or a sensitive family or maternity portrait, Pia works to create photographs that reflect who you are with clarity and warmth. Her professional yet relaxed method, careful use of light and composition, and tasteful retouching ensure portraits that support your image and last over time.
