It's not a place,
but a feeling.
My photography captures the emotion within places. A way to pause, to breathe, to feel, to remember.
If these moments speak to you, you're invited
to step into the silence with me.
Editorial Reviews
"Mikko Lagerstedt has a rare ability. He knows how to create a mood."
"There are photographers, and then there are visionaries. Mikko’s photography does not shout for attention. It whispers in the most exquisite tones."
"More than a photograph, it's a window to another world. Truly museum quality."

Bring the silence home
My work is an invitation to pause. To bring the calm, atmospheric presence of the North into your daily space. Whether you are learning to create or looking to own a piece of art, everything starts with the human connection to nature.
Creating a sanctuary at home shouldn't be stressful. That is why I offer a complimentary digital mockup service. Not sure which size or artwork fits your wall? Send me a photo of your room, and I will visualize the artwork for you.
