~Olya's Urban Journal~: October 2012

I met Tepi within a few Facebook photography groups last year. Her photographs explore the Finnish landscape and last winter, I was mesmerized by her snow shots. She had a wonderful series of photos which depicted a koala bear in all sorts of fun situations within the snowy landscape, that caught my eye and haven't stopped thinking about (see below). New York City had basically a snowless winter and when it comes down to it - I love snow and missed it way too much. Tepi's photographs filled that void for me!

In Tepi's words - "I've always loved to take pictures, but when I had my two kids (almost adults now), I took more, of course. I don't know how it all began, maybe after film cameras, digital shooting became more fun. The results were seen right away. Since then, I just can't stop shooting. My inspirations are mainly nature itself, with all the changes of each season."

Tepi's photographs are subtle, beautiful, emotive photographs which I never seem to get enough of.

It's time for a website Tepi !!!

Here is just a taste of Tepi's work - enjoy ...
