Ira Aaltonen, 31, is a Finnish photographer born and based in Helsinki. Her work extends to multiple countries in Europe where she’s been invited to shoot for musicians and music events.
During her life in Barcelona 2022-2023 she was introduced to club photography and found a peaceful art in people being fully lost in the music, the smoke and the privacy of a dark night club.
In Helsinki her clientel mainly consists of record labels and independent artists, but her roots lie in creative personal portraits and couple’s photography – capturing love and companionship through movement and painting-like photos.
Due to her candid signature style and tendency to capture everything around her – including friends and family – her portfolio has become incredibly personal. Ira became a full time freelance photographer in 2019 after dabbling in different content creator jobs in the film and music event industry.
Ira’s body of work has been published in various online music magazines, album covers, TV and social media feeds. Over the years she’s been invited to panels, both finnish and english speaking podcasts and radio shows to share her thoughts behind the creative process and her journey in photography.
