CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

I'm a freckly creature who enjoys adventuring and photography. I am a freelance photographer originally from Finland, currently living in Edinburgh but tasting the wind to see where it might take me next.

Some examples of my photo work can be found at https://www.tiumakkonen.com
Or alternatively a more informal travel diary style instragram at https://www.instagram.com/tiumakko/

I'm very easy-going and adaptable and will fall asleep anywhere I lay my head. If I wasn't a person I'd be a bear, a gorse shrub, the number 6 or dusk on a late August evening.

PHILOSOPHY

Improvise, adapt, overcome.

"The only real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
