Paavo’s photography 3
odarkwidow:
But my favorite - my absolute favorite photos taken by Paavo are, quite obviously, of his band mates. <3
To me, Paavo’s portraits of his fellow Apocalyptica musicians will always surpass any promo shot taken by a professional photographer.
While someone with years of experience, education and training in photography may produce the best-looking and glossiest, magazine cover-worthy shot of the guys…
…no one will ever be able to capture those intimate glimpses of a smile they flash each other, that shine in their eyes, showing that they’re with someone they know, trust, and feel comfortable around.
Whenever I look at the pictures Paavo has taken of either Eicca, Perttu, Mikko, and now Franky, I can feel the warmth radiating behind them. You can just read the sense of friendship and love that was present the moment that shutter went ‘snap’.
There’s truly nothing like it for getting the most personal touch that exists while looking through their images.
When it comes to photo shoots, he loves his Perttu even more than you do :)) :
But he’s a demanding photographer. Perhaps too demanding. Which is why Perttu decides to get a stick… :P
(No photographers were harmed during the shooting of these photos.) XD
Where could you get wider smiles than with Paavo?
And even when he’s not being artistic…
Who else could ever get such a naughty smirk out of Eicca. Who?!
And he even gets ‘the new guy’ in on the action:
Mhm…
Keep those boys smiling, Paavo. ;)
