Paula Haapalahti

I love to observe my surroundings by photographing randomly in nature and urban cities. I would like to show the world through my eyes…
I want so share the feeling, the touch, the smell and the joy of everyday life. As a personal journey I’ll try to learn from my experiences and to see beyond the surface…
I try to connect my inner thoughts visually into my work and to catch the things as they are in the moment. No more, no less..

"There's something significant and beautiful in this world which always surprises me... in particular: kindness, love, compassion and gratitude will never lose their relevance..." - paula-
