I’m a student of life; I see beauty in nature, people and the world around me, small details and complete view. Without the ability to actualize an idea or concept, art would not exist. My work is a constant search for the best way to interpret the ideas that I have about myself and the world I live in. I do not limit myself to one medium, style, or concept. Inspiration and ideas change. My knowledge changes and grows. Each piece I create is simultaneously an extension from the past, where I’ve come from and what I’ve learned, as well as a preview of the future, where I’m going. I do not classify myself as just a photographer, as some might think from looking at my work. I am a sculptor, a painter, a photographer, an artist. If a viewer stops for just a moment to view and reflect on a photograph, a photo collage or a painting I have created, then I have succeeded in my work. View all posts by Ritva Sillanmäki Photography
These are marvellous. I love the last one and the couple with peach skies.
Thanks Debbie 🙂
Ritva you work is always a pleasure to look at. I especially like to see the way you developed the original image. My favourites are the 4th and 6th – but i love them all. Thanks for sharing on Mandarin Orange Monday:)
Nice work.

The multi colours and painterly feeling is great.
These are all just glorious! I love the drama of the orange and blue (# 5) and the fun, graffiti look of #7.
The rooftop photograph is beautiful on it’s own, as well as with all the alterations. I believe my favorite alteration is the one after the yellow and orange version, because I like the painterly effect. Blessings!
