About Me

The greatest of my passions is our arctic nature with northern lights. Long and cold winter nights are the ones that I love the most. The same time with the low -30°C temperatures I hunt for northern lights with my motorhome. 

I am Niko Laurila, a professional photographer from Porvoo, Finland.

I got interested in cameras when I was young but what really took me away was drones. That is how I started my career, as an aerial photographer. Soon after that I started expanding my job description.

My company's job description includes all the services of a professional photographer. With my equipment, it is possible to do many kinds of productions both on land, at sea and in the air.

I also arrange Northern Lights hunting tours and photoshoot daytrips to the nature in small groups. You can get to know my business activities on hunting northern lights on my webpage northernlights.nikolaurila.fi

Interested in collaborations? Contact me and we´ll see what kind of collaboration we can do.

I have had my pictures in many exhibitions in Finland and abroad.

In my hometown Porvoo I had my first ever exhibition in 2016

Photo exhibition honouring Finlands EU presidency 2019 in Haag, Holland was an exhibition I highly appreciate.

The Embassy of Finland in Nigeria held an Independence Day exhibition on December 6 2019

In 2021 I had the opportunity to participate in a big Russian exhibition in Moscow and St Petersburg. I had two pictures in the Finland Unexplored stand.

There has been also alot of articles in the magazines about my photowork and I have also made educational videos for example how to take nature photographs.
