After my graduation from Finnish art school and design institute, I was spending great amount of time as photographer in concerts and festivals around the country and abroad. I had the chance to photograph many artists performing and behind the scenes. For me music has always been great inspiration and has big place in my life. Working alongside gifted musicians has granted me with the chance to design many books and albums for artists who I admire.

For the Gothic Chic book I was able to select photography which matched the Finnish edition of the book. I enjoyed playing with gothic typography and ornaments from my “morbid art library”.

“Due to its passionate, extreme aesthetic, Goth culture remains both vibrant and vibrantly loved, and continually inspires new developments in pop culture. Both a starting place for newcomers and a source of incisive insights for veterans, Goth Chic examines this dark culture from multiple angles. Each chapter of this lavishly illustrated guide dissects a distinct aspect of the Goth genre, including movies, music, books, graphic novels, and more.”
