Juha Wikström

Hey there,

As a photographer deeply influenced by the unfiltered narratives of life, I specialize in documentary, street, and portrait photography. My work is dedicated to capturing candid, unscripted moments that reveal authentic human experiences. Whether it's the subtle emotions in a portrait or the dynamic scenes of urban life, I strive to document the essence of my subjects without artifice. In portraiture, I focus on fleeting expressions that offer a glimpse into the individual's true self, avoiding staged or overly posed compositions.

Technically, I employ both color and black-and-white mediums, selecting the format that best conveys the story's impact. This flexibility allows me to adapt to the unique demands of each subject and setting, ensuring that the visual narrative resonates with authenticity.

Photography, to me, is a conduit for connection—a means to share stories, evoke emotions, and immortalize moments that might otherwise go unnoticed. Through my lens, I strive to capture moments that make people feel recognized, understood, and valued, contributing to the depth and diversity of human experience.

In essence, I am a storyteller committed to capturing the raw, beautiful complexities of life as they unfold.

My work out there

I've been fortunate to get my work out in several places. The first photograph of mine ever in the exhibition and a published book is the Photographic Museum of Humanity's Familiar Stranger. You can go ahead and order the book here.
