Can you introduce yourself and talk about how you got into photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My name is Johanna Sj\u00f6vall and I\u2019m from Finland. I have worked as a photographer for about 15 years and my studio is located in the city of Pori. I shoot portraits and advertisements and of course I am very passionate about equine photography which is what my photos for this competition consist of. I used to work as a horse-riding coach, but I had to switch careers due to allergies. I ended up working in Tunnin Kuva, a camera shop, and started to become interested in photographing there. So, becoming a photographer happened by accident \u2013 true serendipity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q2. Where did you study photography?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I studied in Tampere, in the Institution of Visual Communication. I did apprenticeship training for several different degrees in the same institution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q3. Do you remember your first shot? What was it?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My first \u201creal\u201d work for a client was photographing a child. I was nervous about the photo shoot, but it went well and the same person has had their photo taken by me later on as well. My first time photographing a horse was pure agony. The horse was tensed up because of all the insects flying around and the photo shoot was extremely difficult. If we did manage to have the horse still for a moment, it was more interested to eat grass with its head lost in it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q4. What equipment do you use?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the moment I use Sony\u2019s mirrorless cameras and in equine photography I almost always use a 70-200 mm lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Q5. What do you hope to achieve?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It would be amazing to be able to photograph wild horses, it would be documenting than photographing. Even though I enjoy taking photos of horses kept as pets, it would be interesting to create different kinds of photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magic of Horses l 2022<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p>Magic of Horses-series.
