Photoshoot Konekaverit
Artist Duo Portrait × Event Documentation & Creative Play
2025 · Heinäpää Forest, Oulu
🎪 Concept & Context
Needed for promoters and festival bookers, this session aimed to capture the duo's live energy and collaborative spirit outside the stage. Rather than a formal promo shot, we approached it as a spontaneous visual exercise: placing our gear, outfits, and presence directly into a natural setting to create something playful, slightly chaotic, and unmistakably us.
🌲 Process & Setup
Shot in the forested area near Heinäpää, adjacent to Oulu's historic paper mill district. Photographer Helena Rauamäki directed a casual, picnic-style arrangement on the ground where we spread out our full musical setup: synthesizers, drum machines, patch cables deliberately tangled, and portable monitors.
Styling was intentionally bold: I wore a bright yellow ski suit, Jussi opted for a NASA flight jacket.

📸 Visual Approach & Outcome
The contrast between dense forest canopy, technical gear, and vibrant streetwear created a visual metaphor for our practice: finding rhythm within noise, structure within improvisation, and connection within creative chaos.
Instead of posing for the camera, we were caught mid-process — searching knobs, untangling cables, hunting for that perfect tone. The resulting images document presence over presentation, making them ideal for event organizers while retaining an authentic, unpolished energy.
