 I am . . 

an explorer constantly seeking to discover or create something new. I've produced audiovisual works, taken photos, produced events, held workshops and engaged in all kinds of various creative projects throughout my life. I enjoy working in a team where each member brings their own strengths and visions to the table, creating something amazing that none of them could have achieved alone.

I've graduated with a Bachelor of Media (Film & TV) from Tampere University of Applied Sciences. Since 2015, I've worked as a filmmaker/photographer freelancer, collaborating with over 40 clients, and worked on a wide range of artistic projects, including short films, music videos, and documentaries. I've also led numerous filmmaking and photography workshops in partnership with Tredu, the City of Tampere, Ahlman and Pirkanmaan Elokuvakeskus. Currently, I dedicate most of my work-time to run a touring cinema called Filmipyörä, while still working as a freelancer in various projects.

I am always looking for new, inspiring work opportunities. In an ideal situation, I prefer working in an environment that upholds some the following values: 

empathy, curiosity, sustainability

. . . and/or includes some of the following themes:

art, science, nature, culture, education, psychology, philosophy, youth work

"From my point of view, Henrik is a true visionary with a wide array of substance skills within many posts in documentary production. These skills include scripting, directing, cinematography and even hands-on post-production. 


Besides the production skills of Henrik, I can also recommend him as a director with a spectacular storytelling capability, as well as the ability to communicate his vision for the people working together with him."

- Aatu Horus, CEO of Hotei Productions / Founder of Good Times Nepal

"Henrikillä on rento ja asiantunteva ote opettamiseen ja hän saa helposti kontaktin erilaisiin nuoriin. Henrikin lähestymistapa on prosessikeskeinen ja vuorovaikutteinen ja opiskeltavia asioita tutkitaan ja oivalletaan yhdessä."

- Pirkko Uitto, taidetyöpajakollega

"Henrik on opettajana osallistava ja tukee opetuksessaan oppilaiden omaa ongelmanratkaisukykyä. Dialogi on keskiössä hänen opiskelijan ohjauksessaan, mikä tekee oppimisesta aktiivista ja innostavaa. Henrik on myös ihmisläheinen ja helposti lähestyttävä."

- Sylvi Alin, Ahlman Edu
