While filming for a trailer and shooting promotional photos for a local theater project that isn't to be launched until summer 2017 I was forcing my way through the forest together with the writer/director of the play. We tried to find the right angle to film the river and the old factory when suddenly she pointed at the boat and said: “You should take a photo of that boat.” I turned my eyes the way she pointed and did not see it until I looked at the exact right spot.
There it was. Abandoned. Dilapidated. Overgrown with moss. But most of all—irresistibly beautiful! I took only two photos. We were there for another reason, remember?
I will return to the boat and take more photos, that's for sure.

We spent four hours outdoors when the light was at its best. Sun is setting really slowly this far north (N63,31°) so you actually have a lot of time to use the low angle sunlight. Our models got really cold. But what a beautiful day to capture the Finnish nature just as the snow was melting but before every plant and tree had awakened from its winter sleep.
After shooting that boat I could concentrate on filming the next clip.

| This muddy road was our main location for filming. I love the birch trees! |

| I made this young model walk through the picture several times. Once you're there you've got to get it right. |

| Finally we were done. Please have a seat! ;) |
