Fluidity
I capture fleeting moments – and emotions – with my camera. Then the moments are saved – and remembered – for the future.
I am a photographer. I’ve received nominations and awards for my photography from IPA, BIFA and WMO. My sports photography have been featured at billboards around the city of Stockholm and my travel photos have been used by various tourist accounts around the world.
I’m a member of Svenska Fotografers Förbund, and I have had my photos exhibited at Kulturhuset in Stockholm and at KvarnKonst in Norrbotten, and Planket 2025 in Stockholm. Canon Nordic has featured one of my photos as a cover photo in their social media.

“For us, it feels incredibly fun to have the opportunity to buy photographs from such an experienced and professional photographer as Helena Mettavainio. Helena not only captures the sport itself, but also the joy, speed and emotion in the images.”
Cornelia, Sports Coordinator, SweRolling

I see no difference
I see no difference between how the mama monkey looks at her baby and how a human looks at their baby. And it’s sort of the same with how I see myself and what I do, there’s hardly any difference between living in the north of Sweden and in Sri Lanka. I basically do the

And I continue
I continue waking up early in the mornings, getting on my bike, being stunned by the beauty of the city and feeling fully present while I’m swimming in the waters around Stockholm. Sounds pretentious, but it’s true. And usually it’s the best part of the day.

100 Days in Stockholm
It’s 100 days since I came back to the city. That’s an incredible amount of days. Doesn’t feel like 100 days, not sure what it feels like because these times are not like anything I’ve previously experienced. Spent a lot of time in my apartment, have been working on all the photos I’ve taken during
