End of year 2018 - Trail Running photos

The best trail running photos from november and december 2018.

Zegama-Aizkorri 2018

“Zegama is Zegama” – a unique atmosphere with the BEST SUPPORTERS, an entire valley passionately supporting the 400 lucky runners along every step of the course

At race day my assignment was to take photos of Finnish runner Henri Ansio. So there's only photos of top 25 male runners. After Henri came I changed location. 

Zegama here I come!

Friday 25th of may I'll be traveling to Zegama-Aizkorri to photograph mountain running competition. I can't describe how excited I am! I just say, it will be huge! Zegama-Aizkorri is one of the best known mountain running competition in the world. It's located in north of Spain. My mission is to photograph Finnish runner Henri Ansio. Henri was 4th in last years World Championships, so he'll be one to watch! It's kind of crazy how runner from flat country can challenge the best mountain runners from all over the world! Can't wait to take photos as he runs in the middle of a huge crowd! Yes, there will be huge crowd even at the top of  the mountain!

Here's some gear I'll be carrying with me. I try to travel as light as possible, because you know I have to hike up the mountains.

Restaurant Natura

It was pleasure to photograph this new and hot restaurant in Helsinki, Finland.

This was my second time photographing in Natura. This time we took more photos of servings and workers. There's also one of pictures on the wall. 

An intimate, family-run restaurant in the heart of Helsinki serving modern, innovative food in a friendly, "no fuss" atmosphere.
