When I went freelance again I decided to add a few case studies on my website so that prospective clients could see the kind of work that I do in greeter detail than they could on my folio pages. It’s going to be time to post some new ones soon and the first to be retired will be the oldest one: a case study about a mews feature shot for the TES in Finland.
The Brief:
Go go to Helsinki for two days with a reporter and try to establish why the Finnish education system consistently comes top of the European leagues for pupil achievement by interviewing various politicians, educators and educationalists and by visiting as many schools and institutions as we could.
Delivery:
This assignment was shot whilst I was a staff photographer working for the TES and my brief was to shoot some pictures to accompany this major feature but also to gather as much stock imagery for future stories relating to Finland and Scandinavia as possible. The final edit was over 200 images and was delivered in stages during and immediately after the trip.

How did you find the Finns? I lived there for four years and found them very up-to-date, self-deprecating, nice sense of humour, – altogether a nice place to live except for the cold and the lack of visually stimulating culture (otherwise known as shops full of things to buy)

Love the place, have a very old friend living in Oulu and we go there often – a bit grey and the shops are boring but I like the people.
