Hanna-Leena Javanainen | Over and Above
About this Artist
As a photographer, my approach to photography is guided by the principle that the ordinary can be made extraordinary and that familiar places and objects can reveal unseen angles that evoke wonder and introspection.
In my images, I try to capture the depth of feeling in a simple and clean way, allowing the subjects and moment to speak for themselves. I seek to create photographs that overcome transient trends and offer a timeless quality, inviting viewers to engage with the enduring essence of the captured moment.
About this Work
In this project, I deliberately allowed myself more time and freedom to be creative. Instead of my original project ‘Dreamscapes’, whose intention was to create surrealistic dream-like photos, I found myself drawn back to using drone and shooting abstract landscapes. The obsession was so significant that I decided to master flying them. I had been fascinated by the unique perspectives that drones offer. With drone, I have access to places and views that would otherwise be impossible to see. For me, this project has been a quest to showcase the beauty of observing things from a different perspective.
