Special sesssion with JMPC : Tuukka Pakarinen and his thoughts about photography as a business

Tuukka Pakarinen is a photographer and videographer from Joensuu, Finland. Tuukka took his first pictures when he found his mom´s camera at the age of five. Picture was a great piece of art. A portrait including about half of his babysitter backside before she find out what Tuukka was doing. It was the beginning.

Many years after Tuukka took some more pictures and eventually people started ask him to take some pictures of their weddings, bands, movie projects etc. Tuukka also decided to take some lessons for it in Karelia university of applied sciences, where he did his bachelor studies of media.

Pictures were okay because Tuukka got some more photo jobs or client did not knew each other. Anyway Tuukka decided to turn his hobby to a business and in spring 2013 he launched his own website www.tuukkapakarinen.com and started his company. That was another beginning of something new and that is what he wants to talk about.

In this session with JMPC, Tuukka is going to discuss about photography as an business, how to start, when to start? Some views to difference fields of photography from weddings to music and child portraits. Thoughts about photographers own projects - just for fun or important part of your own marketing? Your personality as a tool when dealing with your customers and what else you need to get your pictures done.

Tuukka would also like to invite you and have the possibility to network and have a chat about photography, camera gear etc. He will bring some of his own gear and if people are interested can tell about what he needs when working in locations etc.
