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.”
