Hi, I’m Teemu!

I’m a portrait and lifestyle photographer based in Amsterdam, with a decade-long background as a professional jazz pianist and composer. That musical foundation shapes the way I work today—bringing a sensitivity to emotion, rhythm, and atmosphere into the images I create.

I enjoy working closely with people—artists, creators, and brands—creating images that feel honest and human, often balancing authentic moments with gentle direction to reflect a person’s character and message.

Growing up in the nature-rich landscapes of Finland gave me a lasting appreciation for natural light and shadow, which continues to inform how I see and work. Alongside this, travel/landscape and interior photography are dear to me.

Selected clients: Grachtenfestival, City of Amsterdam, Eurostar, Sanoma Magazines, Otavamedia, Frascati Theater, Stadscentrum Osdorpplein
