About

My name is Rita Miklán, and I'm a Helsinki-based photographer, mostly interested in concert photography, model shooting and photo journalism. I started photography in 2006 and since then I strive to develop my skills and obtain the best results.

I started to take concert photos in 2006, and it was love at first instant. Standing in the photopit is like an addiction - doing your best in extreme conditions. Keeping the race whith the constant movement and changing lights can be hard, but it's the best thing I've ever done!

As an editor and copywriter for a Hungarian webzine I had the chance not only to shoot the concerts, but to write about music and to interview the bands about their work.

Besides concert photography I also started working with models and I have several miscellaneous ongoing projects.

At the moment I'm a freelancer, currently living in Finland, ready for new assignments as a concert photographer or journalist.

If you like my work feel free to contact me!

Hello, 2012!
2012.01.13.

I wanted to post something, and update you about the current status of DLP, so here we go!

2012 seems to be exciting and full of with great possibilities, and I also have some photos to edit from December last year, when I was working in Hungary for one month and went to studio there.

And this Sunday I will have my first exhibition in Gallery K5 (Helsinki), so if you are around and free, just drop by and say hi :)

You can find the event on FB here :)

Well, I don't have much more to say, except that I spent the first long weekend of the year in London and it was absolutely fantastic :)

Stay tuned for more pics, which will come soon, and thanks for all feedback, comments, likes, follows, tweets and such! :)

Portraits, music and fashion
2011.11.29.

Lately I've been doing too many things, which resulted in way too little time left for my individual tasks, like photography, or updating this page. I took a lot of steps forward though, and now I definitely decided to invest more time in my photo projects and stress less, and miraculously things started to work out. I had some nice model shootings lately, one of them is for a musician's solo projects, and the other is a classical fashion shoot for a clothing store in Helsinki. I enjoyed really much working with both of them, however the circumstances were really different in these sessions.

If you are interested to know more, please keep on reading!

Re-wired
2011.08.21.

Hey everyone out there, who cares to check this website :)

 

I haven't disappeared from the internet, just have been busy a bit, as always, and more active on the social networking sites... Bottomline, I'm done with editing some recent photoshoots, and as a result, now a gallery is online with some selected concert photos from TUSKA Festival, and also earlier this week I uploaded a new model gallery featuring a real beauty, Line, who stayed in Finland for a couple of months. You can also find some pictures of her and her fiancé in the People section, check them out :)

And as for the future, stay tuned, cos I'm willing to be more active, and make sure you follow me on FB and Twitter ;)

Thanks, and have a rockin' day!

Rita

A night in the wild

Monday morning, half past 8. As I'm walking in the town, I can still see the signs of the celebrations from the night before. Finland won the hockey world cup, and random drunk people are still wondering on the streets dressed in national colours and singing songs of trophy, as they were forgotten from a different dimension, they look strange on this sleepy, rainy and chilly morning.

As I walk through the central railway station and grab a life-saving coffee from R-Kioski I am thinking of the trip ahead of me. I'm waiting for a car to pick me up, and take me up north, where hopefully we'll meet wolves and bears!

Welcome!

Dear Visitor,

Welcome to Dark Light Photography!

This is my website dedicated to my work as a photographer and features sets from the concerts I represented media, or model shootings I did for private clients.

Also, you will find here some of my photography and visual art related projects and some articles about what I do and what I like - of course all related to the main subject :)
