NEU : Samuli Karala, Fotograf & Creative Director, Berlin; mit Kampagne für THE RUNWAY - Match made in HEL und Editorials für L'OFFICIEL HOMMES, CLIENT MAG und SCMP STYLE auf GoSee

Wir freuen uns den Beauty-, Portrait- und Modefotografen SAMULI KARALA bei GoSee zu begrüßen. Sein opulentes Portfolio zeigt bildgewaltige Traumwelten, kinematische Portraits und glamouröse Modeinszenierungen. Seit 20 Jahren arbeitet er für internationale Kunden auf der ganzen Welt. Ob R&B Artist Kelly Rowland vor seiner Kamera steht, Schwergewicht Mike Tyson, Schauspieler Adrian Grenier oder der Präsident Finnlands – Samuli versteht es gefühlvoll die Menschen hinter ihrem Namen darzustellen. Und jedes Bild soll eine Geschichte erzählen.”Characters matter to me the most,” so der Fotograf. ”In fashion as well as in portraiture, my aim is to depict the person, interpret the moment and capture the dynamics between those two.”

1977 im finnischen Turku geboren, zog es den Kreativen nach seinem Fotografie-Studium nach England um an der University for the Creative Arts zu studieren. Er dreht erste Musikvideos und fotografierte für Muse, South China Morning Post Style, L’Officiel, L’Officiel Hommes, Elle, Elle Decor, REVS, Plaza Kvinna, Schön, The National UAE, Emirates Woman, Emirates Man, Cosmopolitan, Neo2, Vaga, Vogue.it. oderVision China. SAMULI KARALA arbeitet und lebte in London, New York, Tallinn, Helsinki und Dubai. Aktuell lebt er in der Kreativmetropole Berlin, von wo er zukünftig stärker konzeptionell und künstlerisch arbeiten wird. ”I wish that I could keep bringing the enigmatic and creative, the stories, to the world of fashion and editorials.”

Über Samuli Karala

Ever since his school days, Samuli Karala was fascinated by portraiture. 

 

It’s only natural that he’s become one of the most sought after photographers in the fashion and beauty industry, regularly working with magazines such as Vogue, I-D, The Observer Magazine, Marie Claire, South China Morning Post, InStyle, Muse, Elle and Emirates Woman. 

 

“I take pictures of humans, not models. I always want to capture the human nature behind the façade. And the same goes for products too - I seek the color and the soul of the object, constantly looking for the story inside.”

 

Everything, everyone and every place have a story, believes Karala. Based in London but working often in Dubai, Berlin, New York and Los Angeles, he knows how to bring international brand stories to life with color, shadows and light. 

 

Whether it’s a portrait of Finland’s president Mr. Sauli Niinistö or R&B star Kelly Rowland or one of the numerous commercials and advertorials clients such as WWF, Bvlgari, Magnum (Unilever), Audi, Chanel, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Fazer, Unibet, Nokia, LIDL, Warner Music, Universal Music, Finnair/Finavia and AXE, they all have one thing in common –  all have trusted Karala’s distinctive creative vision.
