Hai!
My name is Eero Turunen, and I come from Central Finland. I've been studying art now for 3 years by my own means and I am currently working as an assistant art teacher in Schildtin lukio where I graduated last year (a "lukio" is comparable to an american high school). I picked up photography as a hobby during the 1st year in lukio. During the past 2 years I've gravitated towards portraiture and I have recently started traditional film photography after building a darkroom into our wine cellar.
Here's couple pictures I am moderately proud of (and I think they show my style pretty well):
Last year I was featured in Tumblr's "radar" which features a few artists a day, showing a selected picture on the front page. This gave a huge motivation boost for my hobby and I started to really think if I wanted to pursue a career in photography and arts. Now I'm working as a teacher so there's that. However during the past year or so I've developed a huge artist's block and I find it hard to pick up a camera and do some shooting. So I decided to join a forum to boost my confidence and maybe learn something new from the people here.

P.S. My username means "the child of Tuoni". Tuoni is the king of the underworld in Finnish folklore. I had this story bouncing in my head about Tuoni being a father of a bastard child after knocking up a woman in the living world.
