Wedding Photography

May 18, 2012

I got an opportunity to do something totally different for a change… My sister’s friend got married a week ago, and I got asked to do the wedding photography. So they flew me all the way to Michigan, USA! Here are few pictures that I took of the happy couple and the wedding party:

 

This was a one-off thing. Even though it was a good experience, wedding photography is quite far from what I am looking to do career-wise. So unfortunately, I don’t think I will be taking on any more gigs like this.

Congratulations to the happy couple again!


D&AD Student Awards

April 24, 2012

Finally an update on my third year university work!

I recently tackled two D&AD student award briefs, and here are the results:

Illustration:

An original cover illustration for Little White Lies magazine, depicting the main character of the movie Black Swan.

Digital Compositing/Digital Illustration

 

Advertising:

An identity and a TV spot designed to brand and to launch a new over 60′s channel for Channel4.

FRAME4 from Jirka Vaatainen on Vimeo.

 

Even though I failed to get recognized in the actual awards, it was refreshing to get to work on live briefs. And I do believe that the end results are definitely a great addition to my portfolio.

Print Material for a Play

November 10, 2011

I know most of you might be more interested in my Disney work, but surprisingly, that’s not all I do…

I was recently asked to design a set of promotional material for an independent play. All of it is in Finnish, but hopefully you can enjoy the vibe. And, anyone out there in Kuopio, Finland, be sure to check it out!
