Kalevi Sissonen Photography
Hello - my name is Kalevi Sissonen, and taking photos has been my passion since I was a teenager in Finland in the early 1950s.
As a thirteen-year-old, I learned how to develop photos in a home-made darkroom, and one of my very first jobs was as a camera-store salesperson.
In my service with the Finnish air force, I continued to build on my interest by focusing on arial photography.
After emigrating to Canada, I ran a photography studio and then transitioned into the printing industry and its camera and imaging departments.
Now that I'm retired, I've once again been able to focus on landscape and nature photography as a hobby.
I hope you enjoy looking through the pictures below. Nearly all of them have been taken in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, and you can view many more by clicking on any of them or visiting Kalevi Sissonen Photography on SmugMug. You can also find me on Facebook - click on "Become a Fan" if you'd like to see any updates I make.
If you're looking for a gift idea for a birthday, an anniversary, or Christmas, prints are available on canvas frames of various sizes within SmugMug - just click on any of the pictures below. If you find it a little complicated to order photos, you're welcome to email me at info@sissonen.com and I can give you a hand. The 24" x 36" prints look especially good on a wall - I've ordered one myself, and it has a very pleasing look and texture.
