At 23 Years Old, He Captured the Forest as a Fairy Tale
Due to the harsh and long Finnish winters, many people believe that Finland is a land of ice and snow, filled with cold and darkness.
However, in the eyes of 23-year-old Finnish photographer Ossi Saarinen, Finland is far more than that, and he showcased this land’s incredibly charming other side through a series of unbelievable photos.



Saarinen most enjoys spending time with nature and typically approaches wildlife photography with a very respectful and equal attitude, presenting their emotions and moods, their family affection, friendship, joy, sorrow, and silence.
Thanks to publishing a large number of excellent wildlife photos online, he quickly attracted more than 220,000 followers on Instagram.

In Saarinen’s lens, wild animals freely roam in the peaceful and ancient forests, enjoying their little worlds to the fullest.
The charming little elves in the photos seem to have stepped out of fairy tales.


Because the area of Finnish forests is very vast, accounting for about three-quarters of the total land area, the vast forests have become a paradise for wild animals and a dream shooting location for nature photographers, although winter is indeed a bit cold.
Even when the outdoor temperature drops to -20℃ or even lower, Saarinen still chooses to spend several hours in the forest with wildlife, patiently waiting and quietly observing.


Saarinen says, ‘Every encounter between animals and humans is a memorable and wonderful experience.’ He hopes his animal and landscape photos can bring joy to those who see them, and that the spread of photos can inspire more people to pay attention to nature.
Here, let us appreciate the fairytale-like forest in Saarinen’s lens.











We believe that a photographer who can shoot wild animals so vividly and shoot forests into fairytale worlds must have a full heart for nature.
