Worker

I am running out of portraits of men about whom I have so much to tell about, so I will upload photos of random encounters, too. Here is one. A wood-cutter found on a nice fall day, taking care of the trees which were covering the electric wires.

Squirrel

I went out to a photo shoot with one of my student, we stopped at a picturesque spot. All of a sudden we heard some noise up on the spruce. I looked through the viewfinder and saw a cute squirrel there. What a luck! In southern Estonia, at least for me, squirrels are scarcity.

Happy 3rd anniversary!

Up to this date I consider this wedding some of the best ones I have ever shot - it was full day and full day of editing, actually even three days :D I was really trying hard :P 

Also it really means better results when you know the people you take photos of - this is my lovely cousin and her husband Des. I have known Kairit all of my life and I want to believe it shows on the photos, too.

Estonia vs Italy

Had a chance to take photos at a women's soccer game in Tallinn Lilleküla stadium, where Estonian national team was hosting the same from Italy. The game was their sided mostly, but it was a fun experience to try to get the good shots with the ball on it, too. Pretty darn hard!

Nature on its own way.

Palju õnne sünnipäevaks, isa!

Kallis isa, palju õnne ja toredaid elamusi tänasesse päeva!!!

Armastan Sind väga!!!

Palusin isal kunagi ühe fotokonkursi modelliks olla. Idee oli hea, aga vist mitte nii hea źürii jaoks :P Minu arust päris lahe ju.

P.s. Muideks isal on juhtumisi seljas t-särk, millega mina 15-aastasena räpparit mängides ringi lasin :P

Swoosh!

During my five years of night club photography I took so many portraits of people and I see I have so many to share, so here is one of the many.

Guy from the club

That was one of the coolest parties I have been taking photos - people were nice, lights were great, program was interesting etc. I mean look at this shot. Gives you an idea, right?

By the way this was taken in a club, which no longer exists - Club Tallinn.

Palju õnne, Siilike!

Selle kauni varahommikuse kaadriga Ilmatsalu-Kärevere matkarajalt,

saadan ühele suurepärasele preilinale, Siilikesele, palju õnne sünnipäevaks!

Taken during the sunrise in Tartu county. Not sure if black and white works here.

Men, yellow and orange snakes

Shooting at the construction site is always fun, but also a bit scary, you know many things may happen. I liked this specific site, where guys where laying concrete for floor or for roof. Anyway I like that they also have fun there, while playing with huge snakes, which burst concrete. I mean it takes some skills to handle those!

I was at Riga Fashion Show and during the intermission, all of a sudden, out of nowhere a guy in red cape came in. Random, but again Halloween was just around the corner ;)

Former Kalev sports arena

Every time when in Pärnu, I would pass the sports arena Kalev. Last summer, something different was waiting for me when I reached to the massive stadium - it was in ruins! They are tearing that one down to build a new one. Guess, these are the last shots from the former arena built in the 60's. What goes up, must come down.

Anu Säärits

Anu is our most famous female sports commentator on TV. She was in Tartu during the Miss Valentine gymnastic show. I met her shortly, but sneaked to take this photo later. Candidly. 

Check Anu's sweater - Canada! Greetings!

Anonymous

Guy who I never met, not spoke with, just took this photo of him. Looking good in such clothes.

An Estonian moment

Visiting a nature trail and a house museum presented me such a great frame.

Peeking

The spring, I mean.

An evening out at the bridge

Had fun with tripod and long shutter speed.

Only possible in Tartu!

Seaplane Harbour

Basically it is a new and hip former industrial space and warehouse turned into a fancy venue for museum and many events. I have never been inside, just those two last shots I took there in the washroom and by the exhibition hall, but it is worthy of your visit if you are in Tallinn.

What a glance? Can you believe it? :O

Tour d'öö in Tartu

We have a great bike event in Estonia, taking place in different towns - an early evening bike ride with hundreds of fellow cyclists. I have been so far to two only. Here is the last years one - some of the brightest moments. 

More from their Tartu Facebook here.

These cookies were for sale. You missed your chance, maybe in fall, again? ;)

ambulARToorium

Unfortunately the site has nothing in English, but check more about the place HERE.

Basically it is a former old little hospital, which has a new meaning today - an art space. It holds constantly exhibitions, you can stay there, organize events etc. Cool. Old-school vibe, too.
We visited it with Kadri and Evelyn during the Russian Movie Days and it was so much fun.
