SO NICE TO MEET YOU!

Thanks for stopping by and taking a closer look!

I'm Marko Rantanen, a Helsinki-based photographer and artist. For over 30 years, I've worked with photography, from commercial assignments to personal artistic projects.

I work with both digital and analogue photography, but I'm particularly drawn to historical photographic processes and the hands-on nature of making images.

The photographs in the window are a small selection of my work, created using different techniques over the years.

BEHIND THE PHOTOGRAPHS

The Magic of Wet Plate Collodion

Watch a 5 × 7″ wet plate photograph transform during the fixing process. No digital effects — just chemistry.
