Oona ÖSTERMAN is a Photographer based in Helsinki and working everywhere.

I'm a dreamer, old soul, and free spirit. Feeling freedom has always been one of the main priorities in my life, which has led me to pack my suitcase multiple times and live in my dream cities around the world.

I've always been expressing myself in various creative forms but photography seriously came to me in New York, a city I called my home in 2017. New York was a place where I could be faced with the most surreal beauty and heart-wrenching brutality, all in one afternoon. The city's streets were like a stage, showcasing the absurdities of life, and they became an endless fascination for me.

Another city that has a strong influence on my work is Paris. A city filled with layers, history and beauty. A culture that encourages expressiveness – I fell in love with the passion, drama, and the courage it takes to be so open about one’s emotions.

I am currently based in Helsinki, Finland, and available for assignments worldwide.
