With his mind-bending edits, it is obvious
that 20-year-old hobby photographer and
artist, Asmo Turunen, grew up in an expressly
digital world.
“I like to take pictures and also edit and
retouch them, it comes just so naturally. I'm
fully self-taught and of course many sites and
communities have been much more than
helpful. I have learned a lot from them but I
have still infinitely more to learn and evolve.”
His favourite creation, “Stairs to Unknown”,
is an highly edited image that Turunen had
to play with extensively in Photoshop before
being able to breath life into this psychedelic
piece. As the inspiration process often
happens along the way, it can take quite some
time for him to see his pieces through to end,
but Turunen believes it is definitely worth the
effort, thrilled by the moment of completion
when he can behold his finished creation.
Young in his craft, Turunen feels has yet
to develop his own specific style, and hopes
that over time he will come into his own as a
recognized professional.
“At this point this is just a hobby, but I
am starting my studies in photography and
graphic design, so maybe some day this is can
be my career.”
