Ville Vappula, is a creative, photographer and film maker,
who earned his street credits photographing urban snowboarding.
”Much of those cold nights have translated into my visual language, be it composing spaces and forms, shooting athletes in motion or creating visual touchpoints for established brands. My style is true to the roots of my photography, showing action, clean compositions and dramatic lighting. I have been fortunate to work in long-term relationships with brands, learning how to turn my vision into brand value.”
Available for commissions worldwide and for alltypes of projects: working days for a single photo or creating a body of coherent images in a day. From studios to factories and glaciers, from fluerecent lights to snowstorms.

Sustainability:
Sustainability is most of all a mind set to minimise the negative impact of our business.
It reaches everywhere from equity to environmental actions.
-
From buying second hand gear or renting equipment in and out, to recycling background papers, I try to minimise the foot print of my business.
Sustainability and cost efficiency go hand in hand. -
Compensating flights, traveling by train and using electric or bio-gas cars and taxis when ever possible are a nobrainer.
-
Clipping paths, photoshop, video editing are sourced either from Finland or trusted foreign vendors. This is to ensure, that the pay is fair and working conditions meet sustainable standards.
-
There is no room for racism, misogyny, or any type of discrimination or abuse when working with me. This is our profession, and everyone has the right to feel comfortable and concentrate on giving their best effort on set.
I’m happy to hear how to improve the wellbeing of everyone working with me. You can leave anonymous feedback here.
