Nice to meet you, I’m Sonja

I have been shooting film for 21 years and work with various companies, creatives and musicians worldwide.
I studied photographic production and darkroom techniques in Barcelona and Helsinki, and graduated as a camera technician from Camera Rescue in 2024. I’ve exhibited my analog work in Barcelona, New York City, Los Angeles, Zürich and Tel Aviv.

I run film photography workshops both online and in person (for more information click here). I’ve been teaching film photography classes for photographers of all levels since 2017.

I specialize in 35mm film scanning and offer scanning services locally.

Please send me an email (contact@sonjavenalainen.com) if you are interested in getting to know more.

You can find a selection of my work here.
