I recently happened upon work by Finnish photographer Mikko Lagerstedt, and I am absolutely in awe. His photographs are entire worlds upon themselves, in which magic exists and where there’s often something – a slight sense of unease – that gives you goosebumps.

The photographs are among the most atmospheric I have ever seen, and to me actually come very close to storytelling. And what is especially amazing is that Mikko is entirely self-taught. Now here is something to encourage me to pick up my camera manual again.

Max and I are still looking for something that really speaks to us to fill some empty spots on our walls, and Mikko’s photographs have just become serious contenders.
