About Me

Hello, I am Olli Malmivaara, a freelance semi-pro photographer and artist living in Helsinki, Finland.  I have always loved making images. As a kid I used to draw a lot and I was also very interested in cameras. I bought my first real film camera (Canon FT SLR) when I was 12. Unfortunately (or fortunately) life has its own paths. For many decades I didn't shoot much. Lately however I have been lucky to have more time of my own to do the things I love. And I love photography.

My other passion is traditional painting which I have been doing  a lot over the last few years.  I paint mainly in soft pastel and oil, sometimes also  in watercolour and acrylic. I get my inspiration from the nature, its colors and moods during the four very different season we have here in Finland.

 

In these pages I showcase some of my photos and paintings. Thank you for watching my work.

 

If you want to buy my photos or paintings please visit my webshop or send me a message from the Contact page.
