Eeva Mäkinen is a photographer and wilderness guide based in Finland. Eeva loves to wander around the world and get inspired by places that are close to nature. The best thing she knows is to wake up from the wilderness in all of those spots that make you smile at the same second you open your eyes.
Eeva fell in love with photography when she travelled in the Galapagos Islands some years ago.
“Since then I’ve noticed how fascinating places you could end up when you follow your visions and want to see, experience and feel more. Social media came along and I liked that place where you could tell your story and people listened.”
