What inspires Esa is the life around. Every living creature on this planet have it's own unique way of living and dying. That makes every moment special and photos are moments captured.

We people are driven by values. By these values we rank things to important and less important. These values are sum of our roots, life we've lived. It's our mind that makes things meaningful or less meaningful with the help of media and advertisers.

To help people understand the world better, you have shake their reality and values. Not by giving them straight answers, but with pieces that they can add to their reality and learn.

Sometimes it means going places you don't want to. Waiting hours in horrible weather conditions, freezing your finger and toes. Meeting and winning trust of people with completely different worldview. As every one of us, photographer as Esa is, has to face his fears and limits and push them forward to be successful in what he does.

Well, when oportunity comes up, you often see Esa already packing his camera bag and putting shoes on with a "what are we waiting for" look on his face.

Esa's passion is to capture beauty of motion, real life as it is, souls of people. Sometimes his photographs give you a good vibe. Sometimes are so raw that it hurts watching. Other times the beauty of them brings tears to your eyes. It's no more no less – The World me and you live in.
