About Piritta

Since I was little, I have loved two things: animals and nature. I have also always wanted to travel, but it was not possible then. When I grew up, life took me in totally different directions, diverting me from my childhood passions and from the arts. 

Finally, as I got older, I understood my true calling and gathered the courage to pursue professional photography. I have never regretted it since! When I am out in the field, capturing wild moments with my camera, I feel like I live to my fullest potential. I am my true self. I am a wildlife and conservation photographer.

Additionally, I have always loved drawing, especially using pencils. Drawing animals brings a different depth to one’s view and experience of the wild. It’s a slow, thorough experience, and you must train your eye to see all the details. But it’s also an excellent way to espace stress when you absorb yourself for hours into drawing. 

All my work also aims to challenge the viewer by presenting fresh, different, and versatile points of view. In addition to showing beautiful and fascinating scenes from the wild, I want to make people think: What is behind this photo? What happened after it? Can I help the animals? How was this drawing made? How can it present so much emotion in its drawn lines?

I have a special passion for wildlife conservation issues. I want to draw people’s attention to the immense beauty of the natural world and its inhabitants, through which I hope to inspire people to protect the wild and the wild places actively.

The sixth extinction is underway, and if we don’t do more to stop it, we will have more to lose than we can imagine. This is why I try to do my share to help wildlife and their environment through photography and drawing art, as this is what I do best.

During the last two decades, I have also traveled the world and enjoyed it thoroughly. To this day, I have been to over 60 countries, and more are coming. Also, my current photography and travel project, Expedition Conservation, is an ongoing overland adventure through Africa and other continents.

As a photographer and an artist, I believe stories deserve to be told so that they can impact the viewer and hopefully create positive change. I hope you enjoy my work. 

I also do commission work in photography and drawing art. I can help you and your company achieve your goals through engaging and meaningful photography or distinctive drawings. In photography, I mainly work with the safari and NGO industries. I offer tailor-made photography packages, ranging from a short morning’s coverage to a ten-day assignment.
I primarily draw animals, but I am also available to discuss other projects. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for more information. 

Let’s create imagery together for your brand and/or project that will spark a positive reaction and inspire your audiences and clients to fall in love with it. I am looking forward to working together.
