Portrait of Harri Jahkola

Harri Jahkola

Photographer of metal stages, and of the streets and shorelines between them. From Finland, based in Amsterdam.

I'm a very visual person. I grew up a shy guy in a small Finnish town, surrounded by my mother's watercolours, comics and films. That is probably where all of this started.

I started photography as a teenager, and these days it is mostly concerts, travel and the street, and about half of what I keep ends up in black and white.

I photograph beauty;
I'm old-fashioned that way.

A festival stage in Tampere and a market in Phnom Penh ask the same thing of me: wait for the light, and for the moment that won't come back.

If something here speaks to you, I'd love to hear from you.
