Helsinki Photo Festival kicks off the year with an exclusive photo exhibition from January 23-March 9, 2022 at Hotel Marski by Scandic in the heart of Helsinki. Finland’s biggest annual photography event presents a selection of best curated images of emerging Nordic and international photographers.

Selected artists are part of the festival’s Nordic Village Print Program supporting photographers from Finland, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, Norway and the Baltic States. The Nordic Village is a talent platform and received a subsidy from Nordic Culture Fund in 2021 to initiate this project.

Limited edition prints with works by Icelandic photographers Maria Kjartans and Ómar Sverrisson, Norwegian photographer Stig Marlon Weston, Swedish photographers Florence Montmare, Carl-Mikael Ström and Nadja Hallström, Danish photographers Birgitta Steen, Lisa Pram, Anne Lass and Marie Bentzon, and Finnish photographers Sari Soininen, Svante Gullichsen and Tomas Olsen.

In addition, the limited edition program includes a number of selected international photographers such as celebrated award-winning photographers Jooeun Baae (Korea), Dilla Djalil-Daniel (Indonesia), Charlotte Marien (Belgium), Tom Price (United Kingdom) and Oskar Alvarado (Spain).

All prints are available for sale and the edition is limited. Also available in large size framed (DIN A0) and unframed upon request. Each work is signed and numbered with a unique Helphoto Editions label that is supplied separately upon purchase of an artwork. Every photograph is printed with archival pigment inks on fine art paper, housed in a solid oak frame with passe-partout and protected with museum-grade glass. All works can be purchased through festival’s web-shop.

Marski Gallery by Scandic Hotel is located one floor below the reception in Mannerheimintie 10, 00100 Helsinki downtown and can be visited from 9 am – 9 pm.

Making Helsinki the photo capital of the North!

Helsinki Photo Festival July 5 – September 9, 2019 brings photography to the streets by exhibiting the work of 50 Nordic and international photographers in various easily accessible outdoor and indoor exhibitions throughout Helsinki. The theme all photographers are working with this year is Anarchy. Outdoor exhibitions can already be visited while indoor exhibitions open in August.

This is the second edition of the Helsinki Photo Festival. The festival enables more than 200 000 people to experience the creativity and innovation of photography during the 9 weeks of indoor and outdoor exhibitions, artist talks, workshops, and photowalks.

Photographers were chosen by a team of experienced jurors (Stefan Bremer, Curt Richter, Karoliina Korpilahti) including Helsinki Photo Festival curatorial team (Alexandra Stroganova and Rafael Rybczynski) out of 170 open call submissions from more than 40 countries. The team shortlisted 72 photographers out of which 50 were selected as winners. The team also selected 25 images as winners of the Best Image competition.

Outdoor exhibitions are in visible and easily accessible locations: the Cultural Centre Stoa in Itäkeskus, Pyhän Birgitan Puisto at the Hernesaaren Ranta in Munkkisaari and Hesperian Esplanadi in Etu-Töölö. The festival is also exhibiting the work of Indonesian photographer Dilla Djalil-Daniel at the Tropical House in the Helsinki Zoo in Korkeasaari. Djalil-Daniel was one of the finalists from last year’s festival and works with issues of orangutan preservation.

From August 7th until September 9th the festival will add indoor exhibitions, seminars, workshops, artist talks and photo walks to the programme. A seminar with Nordic photographers will be organised at Nordisk Kulturkontakt with Sebastian Sardi (SE), Stig Marlon Weston (NO) and more guests. Indoor exhibitions will be set up in Nordic Culture Point, Pasila Urban Art Center and Café Rupla. The main exhibition will be held at Katajanokka’s Old Customs House, Kanavakatu 6.
