I am thrilled to announce the launch of my professional photography website! To everyone residing in Finland, I hope you take a moment to explore it and get to know more about me.
I have built a solid reputation as a professional photographer in Japan, primarily focusing on weddings, but also handling a wide range of projects for various companies. The number of shoots I've completed is beyond measure.
Now, living in Finland, my goal is to bring joy to people here through my photography and videography. I want to help create cherished memories and support your endeavors by utilizing my skills.
Please take a look at my profile and portfolio. I would love for you to get to know me better. This website is a work in progress and will continue to be updated and refined. Stay tuned!
The story of Aki's adventures
Hello everyone, I'm AKINORI, a photographer living in Turku, Finland (you can call me AKI).
In August 2023, our family of four moved from Japan to Turku when my wife was accepted into the graduate program at Turku University, fulfilling her long-held dream. Of course, moving meant leaving behind various forms of stability, which required courage. Nevertheless, making this decision allowed our family to embark on a new adventure filled with both anticipation and uncertainty.
Since arriving in this country, my wife has been immersed in her studies as expected, while our 6-year-old and 9-year-old children have faced the unfamiliar challenge of attending local elementary schools and learning Finnish from scratch alongside classmates who initially couldn't understand their language.
For me, at 40, it has been my first venture into living abroad, starting with no acquaintances and unfortunately, little ability to speak English. Initially, it was challenging.
However, what significantly changed my situation was attending a Finnish language school. Despite language barriers, the kindness of many classmates and friends there helped me reclaim my sense of identity. For this reason, I am sincerely grateful to my teachers and classmates.
While I plan to elaborate more details separately, currently, I am balancing attending language school with advancing my photography activities.
I hope to introduce more and more people in Turku and across Finland to my work, capturing photos and videos that bring joy to many. Your support means a lot to me, so please cheer me on as I continue this journey!
