Leimahduspiste - new photography by Pekka Järveläinen

First you see it, then you see it differently. These pictures do really challenge your mind and imagination. 

The Finnish photographer Pekka Järveläinen shows now his new style of  photography at Luova Gallery in Helsinki. The name of the exhibition is Leimahduspiste (Flashing Point), and it tells exactly what happens when you see them. 

Are these really photographs, many visitors were wondering. Yes, they are, and they are real. 

Pekka has such a solid, frank way to look at the world. No cheating, no photoshopping but a lot of magical discoveries. 

For example the photo Hypotenuse looks quite complicated but shows simply a café table after rain in Paris.
