Here are two photos of Voyager of the Seas on her maiden voyage from Turku shipyard to Miami in Florida. The glory of the biggest cruise liner was tangible in every detail from the artists to the staircase in the three storey dining room for more than 1600 people.
Although I mostly photograph the nature, I could not resist the invitation on this maiden voyage to join the crew of this huge and glorious ocean liner. I tried to make a photo documentation of this great voyage and the ship itself. This was time everybody used film cameras. I had two of these with me and developed the photos in Voyagers own lab.
A great Photo Journey was made to my Photo exhibition Power of Color in Turku
My photographic interest is to create harmonic and beautiful landscape and sea front photos. My passion for photography has inspired me since a young boy. My father gave me the first impressions of professional photography and I laid my hands to premium rollfilm cameras like Linhof Technika. I also inherited my first camera Leica III f. Many years I used that little Leica camera and learned creative old school photography
