I'm a published astrophotographer from Helsinki, Finland, and I'm selling my astrophotos printed on fine paper.
First and foremost, I'm an astrophotographer. All photos sold here as posters are taken and edited by me. Not by NASA or someone else. And let me tell you - it's not easy! You need clear and dark skies, lots of patience, skill, and pretty expensive gear too, to take these images. I usually drive my camper van somewhere outside Helsinki and setup my gear there. Then, I choose a target, and let my special camera take dozens or even hundreds of photos of the nebula, galaxy, or whatever, over the night. Sometimes I might even spend several nights on the same target. Once I have enough pictures, I stack them into the final picture, which is another hurdle. So please enjoy these truly unique pictures that you won't find circulating on the web (except my Instagram page).
The posters sold here are not printed by me, but by a company called Prodigi. They print and send the posters. They only use quality printing paper; I have chosen the enhanced matte art paper for the posters I sell here. This is what Prodigi states about the paper: "This heavyweight 200gsm fine art stock has a smooth, clean finish and natural white tone that stays beautifully consistent – ideal for photography, bold graphics and illustrations. The matte surface removes glare and enhances highlights and tones for a crisp, gallery-ready look.
All of our fine art prints are made using Giclée printing – the gold standard used by museums and galleries worldwide. Pigment-based archival inks deliver smoother gradients, richer colour depth and long-lasting brilliance that won’t fade when displayed indoors."
