About Mirja Paljakka

I´m a Finnish artist photographer living and working in a small countryside town Ylojarvi.
Photographing is to me like to be a “playing child” and daily adventurer or more, it`s my biggest passion and love forever.
When I`m shooting there are no ages/years, my heart will be year after year younger and I´m sure I`ll photograph even more fiercely the older I´ll be.
What else, I`m an addict to natural light and very curious about life and its wonders. I always wanna go a little deeper and dig about my rabbit hole to find my fairytale land and secrets of my shadows and hopefully also the lighter side of my unconscious.
My dreams inspire and fascinate me a lot and I try to find out how to photograph them in daylight, too. There are two men whose creativity inspires me a lot and they are film director Andrei Tarkovsky and writer Haruki Murakami.
This is also an ongoing passionate and creative journey to learn always something new.
