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 has 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 Planket 2025 in Stockholm. Canon Nordic has featured my photos. I’ve photographed sports, travel, weddings and events among other things.

“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.”

I did a road trip to the place I grew up in, Övertorneå in Swedish Tornedalen close to the Arctic Circle and Tornea River, where I met some reindeer. I’m doing a short summary of the culture, history and activities you can do all year round in these parts of the world.
