portfolio..!!

Portfolio very professional from a great photographer. All pictures are well done and well composed. Antonio

Hello, I am astonished by your portfolio - the quality of the photos is superb ( I suspect you are a PRO) but also your ideas - especialy playnig with shadows , and general concepts ( ideas) for the IMHO are nice

regards,

Than you for your critique in my portfolio.You have very good gallery,regards.

A stunning body of work, Juha! I am inspired...

Best regards from Kenya, Mark

I especially like your portraits, which capture more than the subject's surface appearance. And thank you, too, for the thoughtful comments you have made on some of my pictures.

You have such a great portfolio here. I really like the way you photographed people - You captured the emotion very well. Will visit your gallery occasionally :)

BTW how did you approach McKlein agency for sale of your photos?

Calvin, Thank you. Coming from you means a lot to me.

Poo Yang Eng, Thanks for the kind words.
I write articles about motorsport technology so the connection was pretty natural. A year earlier I had shot sequentials for a Finnish motorsport mag. Afterwards somebody told somebody told somebody in return told me to contact Reinhard Klein. McKlein does basically only WRC and is very visual. The agency is really considered as the modern Klemantaski. In F1 I'd try Sutton or Schlegelmilch. LAT is probably very difficult to get into as it is part of the Haymarket group. D.P.P.I. also distributes F1 photos.

Happy New Year! Thank you for all your support and comments on my photos in 2005. May 2006 be a very good year for you and your family, Best wishes from Dallas Texas

Very nice portfolio, quite professional. Cheers, Raymond

Thanks for your comments on my picture "Patrulla Aguila". I see in your biography that you are an Aeronautical Engineer, me too, and watching your fantastic pictures I feel that we like the same things. Cheers.

I love automobiles and you've captured the best aspects of them and in great ways, big and small. I had a great time rating photos, but my 6 & 7 buttons need replaced now!

Cheers, Derek Rader

Your portfolio is amazing. So many great captions, colorful photos, details, ... DDD

Thanks for your comments. I like your exercises and like some of the car shoots a lot.

Your auto photos are by far some of the best I have seen. Well done!

have seen well your works, and i find them made with high quality, in one word, professional, but professional of high quality. Love sense of depth, (tridimensional and sharpness.)And good taste (hope this term is used also in English:)

fantastic machines....i have some good machines in my portfolio!...but anyway!...GREAT JOB Juha!

Thanks for your comments,Ihave resposed you in answers of my jeans's photo. I'm honoured to get your critique. I've seen your photo and I think your portfolio is very hight professional one, full of beautiful shots; you're great!Ciao Alessia from Italy

Absolutely stunning "Car Photography"! I am a big fan of your rallying sequence shots. Looking forward to seeing some more!

Hyv䤠shitti䠪䢤 kuvaa!

Fantastic portfolio.

And thanks for the info on shooting Pro tennis.

You are also from those ones, of whom pictures can communicate... Congratulations!

Hello Juha,

I came to your portfolio by chance after reading one of your comments in a forum thread. You present few photos here but all of an exceptionally high standard. I've left some comments on several that immediately appealed to me. Overall,I think your work demonstrates utter professionalism and class. Kind regards, Neil

Juha, your photos are so dynamic and strong, excellent work.

Cheers from Ireland.

thanks very much for your comment on my picture

A job of great professionalism and many quality, congratulation

thank you for your comment, Juha

regards...

Thanks for the comment. Looking through your portfolio, I see that you have a fantastic eye, particularly regarding how to finish a photo in post-processing. You've set the bar higher for me. Thanks again.

Juha you have a new fan of your motorsport shots, I will not try to coment technically on them as I am new to this game and don't feel that i could say the right tings, but the 2 that stand out for me are the Ford Fucus and the Subaru, I think they are great action shots and one day I hope to be able to capture shots like that. I am very jealous that you did the F1 test when you got the shot of the Toyota, all i get in the UK is Silverstone where you need a telescope attached the camera to get close to the action when in the stands, one final note, can I come and live with you and carry your camera bag.

Look forward to getting more inspiration from your motorsport shots.

Stuart Adams

Great eye and very professional. Keep up the good work my friend.

Very professional portfolio. Well done and well composed Thank you to share with me. Antonio

Fine, clean , competent portfolio......good to see

Hi dear Juha.You have made excellent Advertisment photographies.I like many of the shots for a lot and enjoyed watching your protfolio for a lot.All the best.Afshin Azizi

Thanks for your very interesting comment on my eagle photo. Very funny! :) You are a master at your craft. Keep up the great work. Jeff

Congratulations for superior work. Excellent images! Best Wishes.

...very powerful portfolio

thanks for making me aware of Regis Lefebure's motorsport work

Juha, Sorry about that, I put it on the site to show another member how not to do a posterization. For you I will put the original on.Great portfolio.....you have the 'Photographers Eye'... so keep working ... John

Juha, I have found the shot of Emerson, it is on my site.. John

There are some people out there with good hearts and good intentions, others are just assholes.. you are are indeed just an asshole. Thanks for stopping by but do me a favor and keep to yourself.

Listen bud, I placed that image in the critique forum for the very reason to be critqued so yes, I am open to anyones postitve criticism.. but there is a line between leaveing something positive that someone can lern from and being a flat out jerk which is what you did. I do like your images and from the looks of them I could learn a thing or two from you.. so I wont even atempt to tell you what to do, But you have insulted myself as well as anyone who was involded in that shoot by stating that there was no planning that went into the image, that I basicly found some girl wondering off of the street and said, please stand in front of that car so I can snap off a few pics. I am sorry that the image didnt come out the way you wanted it to look but there were a lot of people involed and there was a lot of planing and effort by all who were there. We did the best we could and that in my opinion should deserve a little more respect than what you had to show. Please delete all comments you have left on all of my images. I do not wish to have your name appear anywhere on my work.

I am an easy going person but dont have patience for those who chose to tear someone else down vs. lending a helping hand. I dont care how amature someone else is, you will never see me leave disrespectful comments on thier work.. only positive criticism on how they may improve the image. And yes, I do work on cars. I've been restoring classic hotrods for the last 10yrs. Maybe you need to rethink the way you approach others when you feel you must get your own 2 cents in.

You boys fight and piss all you want. Just keep posting your work. Juha I really like your work. It inspires me to be more attentive to detail. Isaac even though this is Juhas page, I know you'll read this. You do excellent work. Creative and pleasing to the eye. The both of yous make this site better than what I can, however shi&%ing on each other is rather unpleasant. Exchange numbers and handle it. Send annoying emails whatever it takes. But not on each others pages for crying out loud. Make it right, one of you. Alright enough said by me, I'm not the mediator, just diggin the work you both create.

very profeesional work. Clear and neat execution. Impressive.

Hi Juha,

thank you for taking the time to leave a well thought out and detailed comment on my image of the steam locomotive. It was much appreciated; especially coming from someone with such wonderful professional quality images in their portfolio.

All the best, and keep posting your great work.

Cheers Mike

Juha,

thanks Juha, for your comment on my photo and more compliments for your wonderful portfolio...ciao

To set the record straight there are Americans that love F-1 motorsports and all are not hooked on the Nascar that is shoved down our collective throats .I found your F-1 images amazing and clear I just yearn for the day to have the opportunity to obtain the access to these cars to shoot but here everyone is so paranoid!!!Nice job and thank you very much on your comment on my humble submission.

Great quality work, i especially like your sport portraits. Enjoying every pictures.

you are real PRO verry nice pics

Hello Friend!

Well here it is another year is passing away and we are coming into the holidays. I think time starts to go faster as we get older, it was just yesterday I wished my friends Happy Holidays and here it is again the end of a year. The holiday lights are starting to be put on some of the trees here in Dallas, we were out last night and some were lighting the trees. I wish for you all a holiday season with family and friends, after all is said and done all we have is each other.

I want all of you to know just what your comments and ratings on my work means to me, your words are my motivation, my drive to discover, to learn this art that we all love, thank you for taking time and thank you for caring about my works. At the same time thank you for letting us see your world, our lives are so much the same, we all care about our families and friends and we all share the same things, maybe someday our photos will help make for a lasting world peace. May you and your family be blessed this season.

Happy Holidays and Happy Shooting

Ken

Thank you for comments...in short time I'll visit your portfolio to preview it closer :) I'll be pleased to see your advices on my other photos.

-cheers!-

Your work is top notch pro quality. Excellent lighting technique. Thanks for the fun composite you made to accompany my recent post - I love doing those.

These photos are excellent. I love the way you get a quality and tone to your lighting. Impeccable colors as well, and such evocative images of the cars.

Thanks for stopping by to look at and comment on my work. I've always admired your automotive shots. Both the studio style shots and the rally stuff. It's all great. I want to learn to do that kind of thing. Cheers!

Juha, Thank you for your kind words left on one of my recent images. I feel honored when someone of your photographic level to comment on my work. You have a wonderful portfolio, espceially the glamour shots and the car shots. Beautiful work. Best Regards.

Juha, thank you for your comments, you have some fantastic images here, I really like the pregnant woman shots, I think they are fantastic in that condition, probably explains why I have 4 kids.

Perhaps we can share that trout and cigar at the lake one day as a group, that would be good!

Juha, my friend, your comments on "Seductive" struck me. Your beautiful words praising my girlfriend's back really did something to me :-) Thank you!!

I marked you as 'interesting' after a brief glance on your protfolio. I will come back to give it a thorough examination. I will be pleased, i know :-)

cheers, Rob (& Denise ;-)

thanks for yours comments...your portfolio is AMAZING!!!!!!.....your a very profesional photographer...congrats!!!!sorry my english is terrible!...

I love the clean imagery that your photos portrey. Stunning!

Thanks for the comment...That goes a long way for the ego LOL :} If I could convince somebody (besides me)to hang it on the wall that would be great. Your port is great. The light and shadow use is wonderful. Ken

Dear Juha I love this portfolio...excellent... congrats...great

Thanks for your recent comment on one of my portrait shots. You shoot great images. I enjoyed viewing your portfolio, especially the "Guilia" series. I will be sure to check in every now and again.

Excellent Portfolio I like sport's pictures. Well done Tony

Juha. Thanks for the comment on the F1 car. Watkins Glen, a long time ago. Your photography is fantastic! Regards Felix

Thank you for taking the time to comment on my wedding photo. You kind words and suggestions are appreciated. You portfolio is absolutely amazing! Very well done indeed. I'll definitely be back for more.

Hi Juha, I've got a question about one of your photos... please, email me to telemakoh@yahoo.es

Thanks :-)

Hi, You have not post it in the portfolio so I give you the coment on your "Che" portrait here instaed. Just great! I think it was great preformed.

Cheers Tore

It's just a draft so far. It's a bit too Christ-like now, too kind. I will bring the final version eventually. I will also do the Serpico-.poster (once my hair has grown a month or two more or then I have to use a wig :)))) and at least one of the Johnny Depp-posters. Clint Eastwood is one of my abs. favorites, so I got to do one those too. I'd also love to do one of the original Thomas Brown (Steve McQueen) posters, but there isn't a plastic surgery or the amount of cold coffee that could could make look like that.

Thanks for taking time to stop by and make comments/critiques on some of my photos. Your words carry much weight and your portfolio is a testiment to your experience and expertise...regards.

Thanks for your comment,made me think..

You�ve got a great portfolio,the images portray the targets in such deep and thorough way.

This is some truly amazing work.i hope some day i will be able to come up to your level.Thank you very much for spending your valuable time on giving me some great advice.

Hey thanks for the feedback. It's nice to get some good critical opinions. Nice port too!

thanks for commenting on my "fast reading" shot. You have a delicate touch in portraits (and Julia is beautiful)

Just a quick note to say thanks for your feedback over the last few months; i guess it goes without saying that the value of feedback from quality photogs such as yourself is of great value to me and others.

There is little i can say in regards to your work other than it pretty much makes me want to pick my camera up and head out the door, although if i had to describe your work in a few words i would use original and polished. I will make special comment of your sporting images, notably those of cars and racing: you proved that it is possible to get a shot that hasn't been done a million times! Two shots in particular that i can (and have!) stare at for hours; the Lemans Audi R8 model and the 1098cc duke, both of which are truly a testament to your patience in planning and critical eye. Your shots are an inspiration to me and serve as a great benchmark - also thanks for introducing me to Regis Lefebure's portfolio ;)

Your portfolio is truly amazing! I like car pictures the most: every single photo is pure art!
