TIINA TÖRMÄNEN
Tiina Törmänen (b. 1981) is a Finnish fine art photographer whose work explores the quiet landscapes of the North, from boreal forests and Arctic highlands to the hidden worlds beneath the surface of northern lakes and rivers.
With over 25 years of experience, she is known for atmospheric and contemplative images that reveal the beauty of often overlooked places. Since 2018, her work has increasingly focused on Arctic freshwater environments, exploring the silent and unseen world beneath the surface.
"I am fascinated by the unseen side of our northern waters. Underwater, I find a timeless space — silent, mysterious, and untouched. It is a place where time seems to stand still."
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including Alt.+1000 and Nuit de la Photo in Switzerland, Affordable Art Fair Singapore, and Far North Photo Festival in Canada. In 2022, her photograph Underwater Wonderland received a Highly Commended award in the Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition.
Alongside her personal projects, Törmänen undertakes selected commercial commissions, documentary assignments and photography workshops.
