Elvi Rista for Sanoma Magazines.

"What would the dream client for a food photographer be like? I'd say something like Helsingin Sanomat. I've shot food for the biggest newspaper in Finland since 2011. I get to work with top-notch food editors and chefs, and the most wonderful thing in this collaboration is a mutual trust. The client trusts my vision - and when it comes to the visual side of the photos, they let me be as playful or serious, soulful or crazy as I feel is necessary to draw the attention and raise the interest in the readers. And lame is not what I think food photos should be!"

"At Fotonokka our core values are interaction, integrity and emotion. All our talents have a unique tone of voice in their imagery. Our photographers shape the clients message into images that tell stories and stir up emotions. The message is therefore transmitted more effectively to the viewer.
