Konsta Punkka
Worldwide published wildlife, outdoor and commercial photographer, speaker and Nikon Ambassador. During past ten years I have shot, directed and been featured in dozens of commercial projects varying from car industries, photography and outdoor brands to tourism boards. My work has been featured in dozens of outlets including National Geographic, Instagram and BBC.
" What inspires me the most is that people live their busy lives in the cities and they don't have any idea that they might be sharing a same neighbourhood with a fox, owl and squirrel family. It drives me to go out every day to show people the perspective of the world through the eyes of fox"
Konsta Punkka started his career as a 17-years old when photography hobby turned into a full time job. Local wildlife and nature has always inspired Konsta who spent all his summer holidays in central Finland looking for wildlife and beautiful nature. Later the journey took him around the world to capture the same intimate moments of different species. But north is still the most inspiring area for Konsta. With specific fox families he has known for years.
Konsta spends around 200 days a year aboard on different commissions but loves to spend time in Finland during the midnight sun and harsh winter. Konsta is always looking for new projects related to his passion.
