I Shoot Streetcars In Helsinki, Finland

Not easy for a street photographer specialized in people to work in Helsinki in the dead of winter ! The sun rises around 9.30 and sets as early as 3.30pm consequently the only sources of light are the tramways crisscrossing the city. So I found a spot near a tram station where trams stop and every night for four days, I posted myself there and systematically shot the brightly-lit windows of the tramway’s car. Here is a selection of photos showing Finns on their way back home after a day’s work.
