Mikko Lagerstedt, a self-taught photographer based in Kareva, Finland, takes stunning night-time photos that will inspire you to pick up your camera as well. Whether he shoots the land or the sky, his photos are all inspiring and beautiful.

The beautiful moments he experienced every day inspired him to pick up a camera. He remembers the day on his website; “After a rainy day, the sun started shining, and the fog was rising in the fields. I just had to stop and watch this beautiful moment and then I realized that I want to start capturing these kinds of moments.”

His penchant for atmospheric photography comes from a deeply personal experience – “losing my best friend when I turned 20, has definitely influenced my work and how I see things surrounding us.”
