Mikko Lagerstedt from Kareva, Finland takes absolutely gorgeous photographs of the night sky. He uses light in amazing ways that will take your breath away! It is incredible to believe that he is self-taught. It’s hard to imagine that anyone has this much talent without spending years in school learning the techniques of the masters. When Lagerstedt picks up a camera, wonderful results come about and you can tell that he has inspiration behind his pictures. That inspiration came from losing his best friend when he was only 20 years old. His loss inspired him to see things differently and to capture what he sees on camera. He said in regards to his photography, “After a rainy day, the sun started shining, and the fog was rising in the fields. I just had to stop and watch this beautiful moment and then I realized that I want to start capturing these kinds of moments.” Here is some of his work:
“These Pieces Fit”
“Lost World”
“Blizzard”
“Movement”
“The Way”
“Night Flight”
“Quiet Moment”
“Pathway”
“The Whole Universe Surrenders”
“Dream”
“Blue Night”
“Dark Night”
“Night”
“Night River”
“Never Ending Story”
“Things Just Ain’t The Same”
“Move On”
“Detour”
