The photographer Arja Hyytiäinen is a traveler. Native from the Finnish-Swedish border area, she lives between Berlin and Paris with her camera as sole companion. As a fine observer, she likes to decipher the human being. Whether she is in a small village in Moldova, or in Kreuzberg district in Berlin, she takes pictures of real life and does not hesitate to meet people who are on the fringes of society. She reveals spontaneous situations through black and white pictures. The photographer strongly believes in the decisive instant before it changes, this moment is so intense that the photographic act is similar to a scene, and his photographs seem straight out of a fiction movie. Arja Hyytiäinen works with light and darkness, and managed to create an atmosphere between silence and loneliness. The image processing in the darkroom is an important step in her creative act.
