Pentti Sammallahti
Pentti Sammallahti was born in 1950 in Helsinki, Finland. In 1969, he started a ten-year project of photographing the origin of Finland, which led him to travel around the world to capture animals and natural landscapes on film. In Finland, there is a phenomena called “the midnight sun” in the summer, which is a period of prolonged dusk, and “the polar night” in the winter, which is a period with no sunrise. Much of the country is covered in forests, which turns into a beautiful snowscape in the winter with frozen lakes. The abundant yet harsh natural environment of Finland has allowed Sammallahti to develop a unique sense of aesthetics reflected in his works. This is the world-renowned photographer's first-ever exhibition in Japan.
