Hi, I am Ivan Bessedin – a Helsinki-based photographer

During my 20-year career, I have worked as a photographer, journalist, and film director.
As a photographer, I have worked for international media, including Forbes, Esquire, Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, Helsingin Sanomat, and Ilta-Sanomat.
I conduct studio sessions at my studio in Töölö, Helsinki. If necessary, I can shoot on location of your choice, in a larger studio, or even outside the Helsinki metropolitan area.
In addition to personal portraits, I do corporate portraits, annual reports, commercial photography, and videography for businesses.
I want my photos to capture history. My work is successful if, when your grandchildren look at your portrait, they recognize not only your facial features but also your character traits.
Portrait photography is not just about technique. It's the ability to look into the subject's soul and reveal their individuality.
Even if reality seems uninteresting to you, a photographer can change your perception.
There is no huge difference between photographers, but the small differences mean a lot.
I want us to create something special together.
