Sara Lehtomaa, like her photographs, is enchanted by people.

She mostly works with fashion, as she is enthralled with the strong visuality of the garments and their materials, but above all, the people that fashion essentially is for.

Sara’s lens catches the beauty in everyone, and everything, and like a magician she has the ability to make her models light up in front of the camera and realise their own uniqueness.

Sara herself is not quite sure how she does it, but people whisperer could very well be her side job. She has a deep urge to understand people, all people, and her world is guided by curiosity and wonder.

Armed with a strong vision, Sara believes that sometimes exaggeration is the best way to achieve a photograph that really states something and underlines the spirit of the person in front of the camera.

In all of her photoshoots, Sara makes sure everyone feels comfortable and seen. Her excited manner is contagious and has a way of bringing out the best in everyone. In Sara’s photographs, joy is palpable and ever present.
