MIKKO LAGERSTEDT
BOTTLES UP FINLAND’S
SURREAL
LANDSCAPE
The photos that Mikko Lagerstedt captures
in his native land of Finland are so beautiful,
they look like images from another planet,
dreamed up by a film studio in Hollywood. It
is hard to accept that they are as real as the
screen you’re staring at, but that’s the truth,
though it may be a bit of a trek before you
can see them for yourself.
Mikko is a self-taught photographer, whose
skill was born of his passion for his

surroundings. His photos bottle up the magic
of Finland’s mystical remote landscapes, like
few othes can.
We talked to Mikko to ask him what it’s
like shooting Finland’s most remote and
enchanting vistas.
