Kaisa Sirén

I am a Rovaniemi-based photographer working in the field of photojournalism.

In photography, the opportunity to stop time – to capture a moment and hold on to it – has always intrigued me. After graduating from High School, it was clear to me that I would work in a visual field. A job at a daily newspaper was a dream come true. My career as a photojournalist took a hiatus when I moved to Lapland in 1986 to work in the travel industry with my husband. After 15 years there, I knew I had to return to my first career love – photographic art.

Besides having photography as my job I also have it as a passion. I bring my soul landscape visible with Intentional Camera Movement using northern sceneries of Finland as my backdrop. I focus on themes related to the seasons of Lapland, and the sensitivity of nature. I am widely published in various Finnish magazines and newspapers. I have had several solo and group exhibitions in Finland, Sweden, Denmark and Germany. I am a member of the quarterly ICMPhotomag E-mag publishing team, a co-founder of ICMPhotomag Network Community and ICM Photo Academy, and I teach courses on ICM photography, both in person and on-line.

My studio Villa Vinkkeli also has an art gallery, in wich I organize art events.

I am a member of The Finnish Association of Photojournalists and The Finnish Association of Journalists.
