The fashion & beauty photographer and Creative Director, who presently resides in Berlin and produces throughout Europe, realized beauty motifs for the Finnish market laucnh of the cosmetics brand CIEN COSMETICS from the supermarket chain LIDL. In front of Samuli's camera stood Finnish beauty Kirsi Pyrhönen from Brand Model Mgmt. The agency was FOLK Finland.
For INSTYLE CZ, Samuli photographed a beauty special with charming Adriana Mockovciakova. The glamorous make-up from MAC, DIOR and URBAN DECAY COSMETICS was applied by Ivana Tokarska with a steady hand. The Beauty Editor was Zdenka Tomis, Editor in Chief was Karolína Otevřelová, and the Producer was Filip Jägr. Retouching was taken care of by Stephanie Winger, and Andre Pozusis was on set as photo assistent. The immaculate motifs can be seen in the October 2016 issue and as a preview here on GoSee.
In New York, Samuli Karala photographed the enchanting Crista Cober from Next Models, (retouching by Stephanie Winger) and in Finland, male model Karl-Lennart Meri in the style of the Old Masters.
